Quick Jamie story of the day: I had picked up the front rooms to prepare for cleaning and brought the enrichment over to the washing tub. Jamie saw me from the playroom and started gesturing emphatically. I knew just what she was trying to tell me – I had one of her cowboy boots among the enrichment items and she wanted it back.
I did a brief cleaning job and offered to throw the boot up to her in the space above the big human doors to the playroom. Instead, she looked at me and ran outside. I came around and threw the boot on the roof. She climbed up and got the boot down and carried it with her most of the day. I’ve never seen Jamie ask for something specific that wasn’t food – she REALLY likes her new birthday cowboy boots. Thanks, Stephanie P.!
Sounds like Jamie has her own troll doll, except it’s a little cowboy boot instead. Good for Jamie and thanks to Stephanie P.
What a fabulous story.
Jamie knows what she wants and when she wants it and will not be denied.
Has she put the boots on or tried to or does she just carry them around? I love that she is enjoying her present and wants to keep them near. I love my boots too!
She sort of tried to put them on the first day she had them, but was probably playing more than anything. She seems pretty content carrying the boots around. Women and fashion…
I find this to be extraordinarily cute – maybe because I’ve been through my own cowgirl boot days. Mine were red! With heels! 🙂 If I could have gotten away with carrying them around all day like an adored puppy, i probably would have … LOL.
Oh Diana, I love this story.It is so cool to hear that Jamie was interested in something other than food. And to show you where she wanted you to throw it…WOW!! Thanks.
Women and shoes!!! I can see Washoe smiling and hooting happily about this story!!
Thanks for posting this, I have many pairs of cowboy boots and sometimes just sit and look at them.
Oh…how I can picture this all in my mind!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!!! Way to go, Jamie, for getting what you love!!!
