Frugal-one, I'm so sorry you went through that and so glad you thought to call the hospital--you did what he would have wanted, and it is so hard.

It is definitely an issue where I live. I never heard of an alarm to keep them away--maybe I should look into that. They have gotten into my...

Yes, like you, I decided to have both, that there were probably advantages to that while in retirement.
