The Carlsbad community showed their support for a grieving 92-year-old grandpa who lost his dog.
When Erin Clements learned that her 92-year-old grandfather, affectionately known as Grandpa Jim, lost his dog Hailey last Friday, she immediately felt compelled to act.
"I've worked in the senior living industry since before COVID, so I've seen what that isolation can do to seniors," Clements said."It's just so important to not only have that interaction with people, but with animals."That party took place on Sunday in Carlsbad. Clements said she thought only a few people would show up."The last couple of days, everyone has been contacting me to come. I've just gotten so many pictures of dogs," Clements said.
While Clements was more than pleased with the turnout of the party, she was even more grateful to see her grandfather smile again. "It feels great," she said."I was their caregiver when they first started needing care, and it's just been really important to me that I'm able to be there for my family."I left the U.S. for Denmark. Now I pay $2,100/month to live in this luxury apartment—and I'm much happier here
