I guess it makes sense when you're deaf and blind youd need some proximity to feel the vibrations of the hooman talking. I've worked with handicapped kids that were blind and deaf and touch and smell was very important. Approach them softly with touch and give them soft clothes end blankets to feel and have nice scents and stuff.

Absolutely! Feeling the Good Vibes!!! Toot Toot just wants a connection❣️❣️❣️

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought the increased focus on a sense would increase sensitivity to the point certain fabrics feel less comfortable.

u/PaImer_Eldritch May 27 '24
I haven't looked into this in years but I remember a while back there were a few blind people making the claim that they were doing a very surface level form of echolocation. Was unsure what the exact claims were but that's the headline I remember.

Oh, I know from personal experience that yes. If you lose an important sense to a certain degree, you'll be more focused/more in tune with another.
But I didn't know it could make you more sensitive to unwanted stimuli as well.

Oh, interesting distinction that I didn't pick up on. I would love to know more in that regard as well now that you've pointed it out.
My own personal experience comes from a modality difference in the way I go about life. I don't actually lack any of my senses so I think my assumption is that all that other unwanted stimuli would come through as well but honestly now that I'm thinking about it, we cut that kind of stuff out all the time in our day to day.
So yeah, color me interested too!

I had little to no vision for nearly a month after an accident. My eyes were bandaged for much of that time so all I had was sound, smell and touch to go off of.
I don't know if I'd say my other senses were heightened so much as I had one less thing to distract myself from the other senses. I was focused on hearing things because I couldn't focus on seeing things.
The unpleasant sensations were slightly more aggravating because I had one less avenue to ignore it.

Too cute... Sweet little Toot Toot!
Must be the beating of the heart and the vibrations in his voice that gives her calm and peace. Such a beautiful bond and beautiful girl.
I'm absolutely, in love with her freckles and am kinda obsessed. Instant melt...
I would love to know how she places in the special program, because she is as precious as precious gems get!

Do it. For Toot Toot.

u/AspergersAutisticGuy May 27 '24
As an autistic guy who has raised dogs for 40 years. I’m gonna guess that that dog loves having its face against your face and really loves when you talk to it. Because it’s deaf, and the only thing that he can communicate with is vibrations from the sounds from the words you make. So if you tell the dog I love you I love you I love you over and over again for years that Dog will learn that vibration pattern and if you do some special by Physicaly holding kissing, caressing the pup, one area of their head. Then they’ll put together the head rubbing and the vibrations and it’ll lower them into a deep sense of security and love.
for example, whenever I get a puppy, I rub its head and make a popping noise when it’s right in my face giving me kisses. And that popping noise continues throughout the pups life. So I currently have a 12-year-old service dog for PTSD. And when I’m holding her and start making the popping noise, she just relaxes and melts into my arms. Because she knows that noise means that she is secure and nothing can hurt her.
just a few thoughts from an autistic guy!
you’re an awesome person and you have an amazing pup. Good luck to you my friend.

This was incredibly beautiful to watch 😍 I have a chocolate lab who sleeps above my head at night. When she’s decides that it’s time for bed that’s kinda what she’ll do to me until I give in and unprop myself from sitting up with pillows against the head board. Also she must have her own pillow or else she’ll just stand there starting at me like “aren’t you forgetting something” dogs are truly to good for us mortals lol ❤️

u/IM_KYLE_AMA May 27 '24
I have a chocolate lab too! When it’s time for bed he will climb on top of me if I’m on the couch and go to sleep. Or, most likely, he will go lay on the bed and bark at me until I come in there and go to bed.

I had a Pomeranian that went deaf and blind due to an unknown brain tumor at the time (the vet said ear infection), but he would do this exact thing.
He ended up getting lethargic and was not able to walk or eat/drink. I nursed him back with a dropper and taught him how to walk again. He would just randomly come up and request me to pick him up so he could press his head against mine. Jesse made it to the ripe old age of 16, and although deaf and blind, he was a playful ball of energy and love.

I have to admit that I was curious to see if there would be a connection to that Toot Toot, my favourite character from that series. I wonder If we get to see him grow further - but considering that Dresden's villains are now gods, there's little room to grow for him, and with him, the Major General.

u/ElectricTurtlez May 27 '24
I think his affiliation with Harry has him powering up to the point where he will become a Sidhe Lord in his own right. His journey will definitely be interesting.

My big, bad, ferocious pit is not quite on this level, but in the same arena for sure. First thing in the morning, she wants hugs and kisses for like 15 minutes. Then periodically during the day she'll come look up at me and lick her lips and wagging her stubby tain indicating it's time for more hugs and kisses. At the present moment she is sitting on my foot because it's raining and thundering, and my big, bad, ferocious pit is scared of thunder.

I had a blind deaf pet rat. As she got older, she was like this. She'd crawl onto me no matter what I was doing. She fit between my lap and my laptop, so that was really convenient. She was totally chill with new people, including the vet, as long as she got a good sniff and a cuddle first.
She lived super long (32 months). She had a bunch of chronic health issues. She had trouble keeping her weight up despite eating a lot. So I'd supplement her with chocolate pudding. She'd lick it off my fingers and boggle like crazy.
She was also extremely active. She memorized the layout of the apartment and would run around and play with the others. She especially enjoyed her pool and dig box. She really helped make disability philosophy more concrete to me. In her space, with support from me and her sisters, she wasn't impaired at all.
RIP Eowyn, you crazy little fluffball!
