Great to have another video from you Colleen. I love your story time. Please do more in the future. Also, could you make some about your public transit interactions when you have had Joplin. Your voice impressions were hysterical. I’m sure that man thought he was helping you by taking you to the elevator but it was probably really scary to be grabbed from behind like that, especially by a man, and then forced to walk along with him.
@colleenconnor8320
@colleenconnor8320 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, I should definitely contrast that with some of the stories I’ve had with Joplin. As you can imagine it mostly involves people paying too much attention to her and not enough attention to what I’m saying. Thanks for your patience during quarantine, I hope to have more videos soon :-)

I am honestly always nervous about getting on escalators with my dog even though she absolutely loves them! Also Covid boredom is definitely a thing! I know my girl is extremely bored and I think she was looking forward to coming back to University except for the fact that we are pretty much still at home except when we go to the one building on campus where all three of our classes are and two are in the same room.

I have a couple questions about the puzzle toy. First, what is the brand and the name of the exact toy that you got? Second, do the pieces actually come off the puzzle, or do they just slide and lift but not detach? Thank you so much for sharing these great ideas. By the way, fellow seeing eye dog handlers here.

I am so sorry if I didn’t reply to this comment earlier! I think we put a link in the description, but I can also let you know that the puzzles are from the company “outward hound “and in the puzzle shown, some of the pieces come out and some of them slide. Sometimes she will rip the tops off of the slide pieces but they snap back into place. I recently got a more difficult puzzle and that does not have elements that come off of it it is just moving and sliding pieces around, and spinning certain things to get to the holes in the bottom

I have had a reduction as well and can sympathize with you. I also have fibromyalgia and have mental health issues.
