On sat.my dads baby boy come to my house.that night we took his new friend out to see him.this little boy made my dad smile and feel so good inside which he hasnt for awhile now.and did wonders for me my heart broke.I want my dad to feel like this all the time Ijust had a few min.we will be having alot of time watching my dad and seening how he does with his new baby.Please do this for your loved one .they all need to smile and feelgood .

Males do not touch "dolls." However,"action figures" are different.

For example, GI Joe in NOT a doll!! He's an action figure!! I never played with dolls!! It's an ACTION FIGURE!!!

(Have to stop now, tongue too firmly in cheek)

Lots of daddy's and pappas spent years holding their little "dolls" They hung their GIJOES and left many a barbie headless. So actually it is the paternal instinct that the dolls set off.

some Males might not of touched dolls my dad never did either.but he is a diff.man than he was than.I feel anything is worth a try to make them smile.so why not try a baby doll

whatever works to make a loved one smile and be happier: I'm for that!! Dolls, "Action figures" it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it makes someones life BETTER!

Peace and Hope,

I just found your site on the web for your dolls. I work for a rehabilitation home,,,in the alzeheimer dept. I see what dolls can do for the patients and would like very much a doll for one particular lady who just loves babies and dogs,,,she has a dog now that is a stuffed dog of coarse and she actually told me the other day it had a heart attack and died,,,I immediately got my imagination working and went over and looked at her puppy dog in her arms and said,,,but Anita,,,the dog's eyes are open,,,Why don't you let me just take her for you and go to the vet and see if he can help her,,,So she said,,,,Well,,,ok,,,so I took the dog,,,went downstairs found a basket and a little blanket ,,,,and a toy! lol,,,put the dog in the basket and a little later went up and said,,,The vet said,,,,she didn't have a heart attack,,,,he said she just does not feel good and so he gave her a shot,,put her in the basket and gave her a little toy,,,,and said keep her in the basket til tomorrow ,,,,,she should be better then,,,,,So the little lady,,,took the basket,,put it on her lap,,,said ok,,,I saId I am so glad I took her to the doctor,,,,she said I am too,,,

The next day,,,I came into work,,,she was sitting in the hallway with the basket on her lap and the dog was still in it,,,I asked how she was doing,,,She said well,,I don't think she is better today so I am going to leave her in here,,,I said well,,maybe two days,,later on that afternoon ,,,I went over to the dog ,,picked it up,,,,loved it and wagged its tail with my fingers,,,I sAid Anita,,I think that she feels better already,,,look her little tail is wagging,,,,That did it,,,she took her in her arms and just held it ever so tightly and started talking to the dog telling it she was so glad it felt better,,,

This is just a sample of a little story with Alzeheimer patients,,,but it is priceless,,,If you have a doll,,,I would love to buy one from you for the facility,,,I caN give you the details in another email after I hear from you ,,,Will that be ok? Thank you so much,,,,

I wanted to share this letter I received because it shows how fast thinking can rescue a
painful situation. It is so important to be able to put yourself in your loved ones shoes and what you would say to your child if you were the mother.

I hope you go to my website and see the photos of people who have received one of our dolls. A picture is woth a thousand words. Please sign my guest book. http://www.dolls4alzheimers.com

Just checking in to say hello. Will be posting new dolls on my site and again, if you would like to add any experiences you have had in regards to the topic dolls for alzheimer's I welcome that. Thanks
