Checked in on Maggie today. This 14 year old Golden was such a joy to visit!
Since she's completely deaf, we used gestures and lots of petting to communicate.
Since her owner said at times, she needs encouragement to eat her kibble with the "add-ons".
So I decided to try to teach her the "touch" game (the dog gets a piece of kibble or treat once they touch your hand -usually the hand not holding the reward- with their nose) with her just to see if she'll follow along. And I really wanted to interact with her when I was there.
This darling senior was sharp as a whip and picked up what was going on without the help of verbal cues.
Can't wait to visit her again, it seems like I can learn a few things from her :)
