Picking the Right Boots
March 22, 2015 by Keri -
Sometimes it can be hard to figure out exactly what Jamie wants and other times she makes herself quite clear. Many of you who follow the blog know by now that Jamie loves her boots. She especially loves having her caregivers put them on and join her on a walk around Young’s Hill (humans on one side of the electric fences and Jamie on the other side).
But how exactly does she let us know that she wants to go for a walk? And how does she let us know which boot or boots to wear? Sometimes we pick the right boot on the first try. Other times it takes a while to pick the right one. That was the case today. It took a good ten minutes to pick what turned out to be the right combination of boots to wear around Young’s Hill.
I love that final look on her face when we finally figured it out!

Do you know why she is fascinated with boots?
Good question Lorraine. I wish I could give you a direct answer, but the truth is we don’t know. Perhaps it could be a positive memory from her childhood, or that she likes to use them to engage with her caregivers, or maybe because she has a great sense of fashion 🙂 We’re just happy to be able to provide her with something that clearly brings her happiness.
We are doing “combinations” now?? I need to get home!
Oh yes Denice, combinations is where it’s at these days!
I have always been very curious about how this whole boot selection process works! Jamie’s hands/touch is so delicate when she is inspecting the black boot. That looked like some serious business. She is very funny.
Thanks for the video Keri!
now you got it! great job in communication and understanding :)!
Wonderful Jamie!
<3 she is a special lady
