This video is a perfect example of how Jamie gestures to let you know what she wants. If you couldn’t tell Jamie was a bit busy managing the humans today, as per usual. I love Jamie because she isn’t afraid to let you know what she wants. She obviously has no problem telling us what boots she wants us to wear, what books to give her, which piece of pepper she wants, or get the gator now! Most of Jamie’s communication is through gestures like pointing or slight head nods. In the video you can see I had picked out a boot in hopes that it was the one she had in mind. Sometimes we get lucky on the first try, other times you have to keep trying them on. She usually has a favorite pair that we try first! If she doesn’t like the boot, book, or whatever it is Jamie wants she will keep pointing until we get the right one. Occasionally she likes the boot, but wants a different person to put it on! It’s the best feeling when you have been trying to figure out what Jamie wants and then all of the sudden you get the combo! It’s a total rush because all we want to do is please her! Finding out what Jamie wants is just a small way to make her life better and we are happy to do it.
It’s December 1st which means we will start slowly adding Christmas items to the wish list, so keep your eyes peeled!
Foxie with Dora the Explorer:
Karen says
I think Dora the Explorer may have a concussion !!!!!!!!!
Linda C says
:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Marya Barey says
A concussion!!! — that made me laugh out loud! And, I agree! How could she not with all that banging against the glass! Thank you, Karen, I really needed that chuckle you gave me. And of course, I chuckle often just watching the chimps’ antics.
Paulette says
hey, That’s what I was gonna say!
In the still pic Foxie finally got Dora to stand on her own. I wonder if that was before or after the concussion. Ugh, my head hurts.
Debbie says
Foxie was being gentle with her doll when she was laying it down but then slams it into the window!:smile::smile::smile:
Linda C says
The only thing I love more than Jamie with a side of Foxie, is Foxie with a side of Jamie! (although Neggie with pineapple top/rolls/corn on her belly is right up there!)
Linda C says
Let’s talk about how Foxie got Dora to stand upright! Takes more manual dexterity than we probably think!

What an, amazing, attachment Foxie has with her dolls! It has to be affection, although, she certainly did give her a concussion! Her fascination with her dolls is worth analyzing.
Sandi says
What a great place to go for walks. Jamie is definitely the Leader of the Pack! How cute!!
Kathleen says
J.B. is lucky that Jamie always has his back. The Boss seems to keep a sharp eye on J.B. and his progress as he enhances the sanctuary. We should all be so lucky. Clearly her supervison is needed from the looks of how hard she has to rescrub the playroom. 😉 I think Jamie is our 8th Wonder!
And then there’s Foxie. We all know how much she loves and cares for her dolls but as you have pointed out in the past, and as she demonstrates in the video, there is a wee thrill in placing said dolls in precarious situations. I could almost see her wheels spinning as Foxie contemplated the option to *rescue* her dolls from their perilous positions. Dora in the end was saved from a few cliff hangers (…olny to receive a good old fashioned head banging afterwards.)
