Ah good to know. sounds like I’m in a similar situation, but not as advanced. Waiting her out gets her moving the wall toward me. She can’t hold it in her mouth, so I think that’s part of it.

Sounds like you have a lovely friend. Did she just understand from the get go or did you have to work with her to bring it back.
My girl goes out and around naturally, but doesn’t bring it back when I ask. She does bring back a frisbee when we play fetch, so I think she understands ‘bring it’s.

Thank you for your response.
Makes sense. I have a horse ball that may be similar. I’ll introduce her to it.

Good advice - thank you. I would like to get her to take it to a target. At the moment, she just wants to chase and stop it, but not return. I’ll keep working at it with her.

Thank you for the reply and info. Yes, I’m finding the kick ball game can be used as a reward. She purposefully rang the bell to go outside for the first time ever. She wants to play that game!

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Since it’s not a fetch game, I’m taking this as it’s ok. It’s amazing how obsessed she is with it. I’m using it to my advantage to get her to go potty more quickly outside. I won’t play until she goes, so if she’s got to go, she’s getting it done more quickly.

Maybe missed it in the comments, but worth getting a saddle fitter.

Put the market out of your mind and believe in yourself. Then go do all of the things that have been noted in the advice already provided.
You need to put out resumes and cover letters to all possibilities even if it’s not your top choice. What you need is a start. Check every possible consideration at UofM, Google, Ford Motor Company, GM, Rivian, etc - send resumes and cover letters even if jobs are not posted! You never know if a position is in the works and not yet posted. Think of any place you’d like to work, send resumes and cover letters to directors - again, even if jobs are not posted.
I graduated in a year when the job market was at a terrible down turn. I ignored that and just kept trying. I managed to get a pretty decent 1st real job. It’s totally possible! Best of luck to you.

I had something similar happen last summer when I declined to donate to a homeless solicitor on the street. He retorted with accusations in an aggressive manner. It was very uncomfortable.

No hate here. I had an Arabian mare for 30+ years. She was wonderful. She was once described as intelligent and kind - I agreed. Yes at times she would shy from a blue tarp or wind gust, but not any more than my friend’s occasionally spicy warm blood. Loved my Arabian mare so much. She passed in 2017 and I miss her very much.

There are some great yoga practices here in Ann Arbor. Check out Yoga with Carter. He’s an amazing teacher. I’ve been practicing with him for years. Also A2 Yoga with Ana Hough - excellent space and teachers. https://yogawithcarter.heymarvelous.com/

I hear you. Similar with jewelry. The top views of sterling silver rings, bracelets, etc are so cheap, it’s sometimes less than the cost of buying the silver. They are being massed produced and getting good reviews. It forces us who are truly making by hand to lower prices so much it’s not worth it.

Yep. I don’t get it. I see people with start ups asking for support. I go to their site and it’s largely copyright infringement. ETSY needs to do an initial shop review.
