Miss Jollee was just 6 months old when I got her and took her to work with me.  She learned very rapidly to help and entertain people.  She worked with me at a multi-level facility where she had the run of a 15 acres.  She did things for people, like turn on and off lights, get clothing, take vision impaired people for walks for walks, play games, allow them to dress her in costumes, sooth the nerves of people with dementia, sit with her favorite group of people for coffee and newspaper reading, and take breaks with employees. Jollee picked me up off the ground more than 50 times. She understood well over 100 unique commands and was good at making her needs/wants known. Jollee traveled over 40,000 miles and loved to go camping. Her favorite things to do were to chase balls and swim.  Her favorite animals were cows. She passed away when she was 14 years old.
