Dementia is Latin and can be translated as "diminishing of the power of reason". Most of the people affected have problems with their short-term memory at the beginning. Lotti's owner developed dementia and was no longer able to take care of her friend. However, the Aiderbichler had decided to sign an animal provision and so Lotti was able to take up residence at Gut Aiderbichl Maria Schmolln.
