Jordan the sweetie pie

While I am in bed at night before I go to sleep, sometimes up to an hour, I think about things to post on my blog. Unfortunately when I go to post I have forgotten most of them. So instead of a serious post you get cat and dog stories. I memory is really starting to get bad. I talked to my sister on the phone over the weekend. Asked how her husband and was we talked about him and his plans to retire completely. He retired John Deere years ago and after three weeks with no work he became so bored that he has been working part-time ever since. At the end of the call even though we had discussed in my name earlier I could remember his name and I said to tell her husband that I said goodbye. It felt kind of weird to forget his name that quickly. I often have to ask my wife and I asked her a question if I had already asked her this a few minutes ago. I guess I learned years ago that MS "is what it is" and I'm just along for the ride now. Just one more thing my wife to worry about, yea.
The problem is story is about Jordyn. I have mentioned how sweet she can be. I have two fairly regular aids that get me dressed and put me in my chair, drive me to the living room, I just me for the PC table, get me coffee and feed me breakfast. One of the aides is not a pet person. Jordyn has made her love to cuddle with her before she leaves. She Goes home and tells her kids about the sweet dog. Her kids ask her why they can not get a dog. She tells them that Jordyn is very special and they probably would find one as sweet. I have told the aides that Jordyn's motto is "there is a sucker born every minute". The other aid has three German shepherds so she is used to her tricks.
Just to mention computer problems, my voice software bombed out and I lost the rest of this story is so now I tried to re-create it. I have been having problems with my smile mouse, when I talked to my voice software the cursor jumps all over the place and I never know unless I am paying close attention where it ends up, so bear with me. I have a raspy voice today and that seems to affect the voice software. To continue the story:
not long after the aides were gone the nurse came along with her trainee. Jordyn was pretty calm today. I think because she has on her bark collar which is a story in itself. We had one originally that when she barked it shocked her strong enough that she yelped when it went off. When she Yelped it then set off again and this started a circular thing with Jordyn. My wife chased her down because she was running around terrified. When she caught her she took the collar off and held her till she calmed down. I know my wife didn't want to ever use that again but I'm the one who has to listen to her bark for hours before my wife comes home. I told her that I didn't want her to ever wear that one again. It seemed a little cruel and I agreed that my wife that we didn't want her to wear that again. So to continue the two nurses came take my wound dressing on my calf.
Recently my wife purchased a different type of bark collar. The shock is much lighter and she can ignore it if she wants. The other night started barking at the window for my wife to come home. She barked six times and then she decided he would go lay down instead. I think this collar is just enough to annoy her and not really hurt her. So far we like this one and I hope it keeps working like it has.
The trainee nurse got down on the floor to hold my heel up while the nurse cleaned out and put new dressing on the wound. While the trainee was down there Jordyn was attached to her and was so sweet. I think when people like that visit they end up wishing they could stay and hangout with the dog. After the nurse pushed back from dressing my wound Jordyn went over to her, put her paws on her leg and put her head up to hug and get hugged. She took this to mean that it was okay for her to climb up on the nurses lap like she does with my wife's sister who visits each week. It is so funny to see a 60 pound lapdog. She is such an affectionate dog. She is very easy to love even if she is annoying other times.
I am running out of breath now. And I'm saying things two to six times to my voice software and many times needing the use the virtual keyboard. Is very tiring. I will sign off now and thank you again you reader.
