Still fetching!!!

This entry is dedicated to my wheelie friend, who is always encouraging me to keep going.

Thanks Reen.

Middi is learning to fetch more and more things for me,

he now picks up my I-pod, 
the coffee cup, [though that one can be a problem if it is full of warm coffee!!]

My "grab stick is the most important thing of all,

when that falls off my chair, I am in real trouble - it is the extension of my arm.

Picking it up has been a real problem for Middi,

he could not grab it without getting hit on the face, 

or tangled in his long legs. 

I tried tying a small ball to the shaft,

winding an old piece of knitting on the handle, 

even a purple ribbon.

Nothing worked, until Chris brought an old sock

that she uses with Jai.

What a difference!

Here is a video showing a new use, for an old sock :-))

This morning I was feeling so disheartened,

nothing seemed to be working.

Then something clicked in a boy dogs brain and off we go again.

As Chris tells me over and over again -- be patient.

My impatience is not with him, it is me, sometimes I get so frustrated with my self and my chair.

I guess I need to remember ,if I didn't have the chair, I would never have got my "beautiful boy" 
Good things come from bad.

Until next time ----- treasure your friends!
