WE MUST MAKE ALLOWANCES.. AND I NOW... AM IN COMPLIANCE... I WILL STRUGGLE TO CHANGE AND,,,,DRINK COFFEE OUT OF A CEREMAC CUP-- NO MORE PLASTIC STRAW EITHER.... IT SUDDENLY HIT ME...I/WE ARE GOINGTO RUN OUT OF PAPER COFFEE CUPS BEFORE WE GET A VACCINE-- IN WHICH CASE UI HAVE PLENTY OF TIME OT USE A CEREMAC CUP WITH A STAINLESS STEEL STRAW... -- BOTH OF WHICH I HAVE PLENTY....
MOTHER NATURE IS REMINDING US WE ARE HER GUEST AND ARE NOT ENTITLED EVEN TO THE AIR WE BREATHE . ----- .
ON A DIFFERENT NOTE... BENTLEY POKED ME WITH HIS NOSE ABOUT 3AM --- HE HAS DONE THAT BEFORE.... I THOUGHT HE NEEDED TO GO OUT... SO I GOT UP AQND LET HIM OUT... WHERE HE STOOD THERE AND LOOKED AT ME TO COME BACK IN... WIDE AWAKE WITH NOTHING TO DO I PICKED UP THE OXYGEN TESTING FINGER THING ... I BOUGHT YEARS AGO... AT 3 OF THEM FOR $10 ON EBAY ( THEY ARE $30 NOW)--- MY O2 LEVEL WAS 91-- USUALLY 93 TO 97 --- 91 IS GETTING DOWN TO A PAY ATTENTION LEVEL.. ( SO I AM TOLD)....MADE ME WONDER WHY HE WOKE ME... I DO WEAR A CPCP FOR SLEEP APNEA--- WHAT WAS HE REACTING TO??
THE FYI OF THE MOMENT IS........ I GET AT LEAST ONE CALL A WEEK FROM SOMEONE DESPARATE TO FIND SOMEONE TO TRAIN A DOG FOR THEM TO ALERT THEM WHEN SOMEONE IS HAVING A SEIZURE... OR BLOOD SUGAR DRPS OR THEY STOP BREATHING... THYE HAVE HEARD IT IS POSSIBLE-- AND IT IS... BUT IT IS NOT SOMETHING FOR WHICH YOU CAN TRAIN A DOG... AT LEAST I CANNOT.... HOW DO YOU PRACTICE? FIND SOMEONE ABOUT TO HAVE A SEIZURE AND EXPLAIN TO THE DOG WHAT TO DO??? I DO NOT SEE HOW THAT CAN BE DONE.... THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL CHARGE $10,000 TO $50,000 TO SAY THEY WILL TRAIN A DOG.
I HAVE NOTICED... MANY DOGS CAN DO THIS KIND OF THING-- STRAIGHT OUT OF THE DOG POUND/RESCUE-- IF YOU ONLY KNOW HOW TO "READ" THE DOG'S ACTION. YOU CAN CERTAINLY TRin DOG TO DO SOMETHING AFTER A SIEZURE HAPPENS... LIKE GO BITE A BALL TO CALL 911 OR SOMETH9GN.. BUT TO ANTICIPATE???? I DON'T THINK SO... CERTAINLY I NEVER TRAINED BENTLEY TO ALERT ME TO WHATEVER WAS GOING ON... HE CERTAIJNLY HAD AN OPINION ABOUT SOMETHIGN... IF IT HAPPENA AGAINI WILL GRAB THAT O2 THING QUICKER... STAY TUNED... HE DOES THAT MAYBE ONCE EVERY 6 MONTHS !! MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONDUCT A RESPONSIBLE STUDY.
NOW.... MY TRAINING 4:45 LAQST NIGHT TO GET JIMINEY TO BACK ON COMMAND.... I THINK HE GOT IT... AT 5 MINUTES HE WAS TAKING ONESTEP BACKWARDS... GHEN SOMETIMES BOWING DOWN... BUT WITH VERY LITTLE PROMPTING AND TIMIMNG OF THANK YOU, WAIT... AND COME HE DID GET TO THE POINT OF ONE STEP BACK AT A TIME... AND WOULD REPEAT THAT ONE STEP.. AT WHICH POINT I QUIT---- AND HAD A SPOONFEEDING PARTY. WILL WORK ON TI TODAY.. SHORT TIMEWS//LIKE 5 MINUTE LESSONS... WITH TH GOAL OF 4:45 ON WEDNESDAY LETTING CAMERAS WATCH ME GO THRU THE FRONT =DOOR PROPERLY WITHOUT HIM KNOCKING ME OVER..
