Input: Consider Input: Text: i have played well my folks dog using a laser pointer around 12 times in the last two years. it started as an attempt to play with the cat, but the dog was much more interested than the cat.  she would chase it around and seem to enjoy it, she would enthusiastically wag her tail and get excited. i experimented with her and quickly had her tracking the pointer on the walls and ceiling. i then experimented outside at dusk and found she would really run after the laser. she normally depends most of her time with my father who has advanced parkinson's disease and so i did not see much hard in giving her a hard run. i started noticing she was taking the laser very seriously and would go after it like it was her job, i noted she would track it or try to follow it even when she was called or grabbed by the collar or even wrestled/held down.  at that point i decided not to use the laser pointer any more.

 a number of months later at my parents house i was repairing some small things and noticed that the dog would track the beam of light from a flashlight across the ceiling. i then noticed that if i moved around the flashlight she would follow it and was somewhat excited by it but to a lesser degree than the laser pointer. then to test my observation i got out the laser pointer and noted she did follow the laser pointer with greater intensity and more excitement than the flashlight beam. i also noted that with the flashlight she would look at the beam on the surface but with the laser pointer she would attempt to press her nose into. i then hypothesized that this response to the less focused flashlight may have been due to the slight similarity of the flashlight and the laser when at range in the yard.  it was getting dark and i decided to test it out, so i closely watched her behavior when the laser nearer to me less the a 2cm in diameter and when it was far from me and ~50cm in diameter.  i was concerned about damaging her eyes so i did not hold the laser stationary for a long time, i usually tried to keep the beam in front of her. however i noted that with small diameters she would press her nose into the dot and a greater diameters she seemed to stare at the dot. i then had the laser run up a tree because i thought that was a better narrative then having the laser randomly disappear.

the main issue arose later that evening then the dog started getting very excited in my moms room and jumping up in down. she chalked it up to her being excited after i had used the laser pointer and she put the dog out. the dog however continues to get excited and started to stare at the ceiling wildly wagging her tail seemingly at random and then started constantly long at the ceiling at anticipation. this began to annoy my father and when she was excited and wagging her tail and looking at the ceiling he began to get upset when he was very parkinsonian. 

the behavior has persisted over weeks and i have decided that the dog gets very exited and when she sees reflected light from ipad or smartphone screens or other reflective surfaces. it is primarily from moral devices due to the tendency for the reflected light to move at the device is shifted and used. she is a suburban dog and i think she has decided to make it her job to keep an eye out for these beams of light as she would a squirrel or someone coming to the door.  the huge problem is not only that she looks crazy staring at the ceiling all the time but she does it very seriously and will get in my dad's way or distracts my father… this is also where the cruelty of the disease comes in as when his medicine levels are off he not only is incredibly vulnerable but mentally fragile and has started talking about putting the dog  down as he absolutely cannot deal with her in that state. the good news is when he is good with his neurotransmitter levels  he does not even remember that he talks about putting the dog down… 

 

does anyone know how i can desensitize her to moving light beams?

Output: - trained my dog to associate laser pointers with reflections of light, she now thinks it's her job. i fucked up by playing around and i do not even want to consider putting the dog down over it.


Input: Consider Input: Text: this actually happened last night, but i wasn't in the mood to get on reddit. it probably is important to the story to point out i'm a guy.

so, i have been a member of a small group (think bible study) since june of this year and i love all the people there. it's a group entirely made up of single people between 21-35 yo, so we face may of the same daily and life struggles. bottom line, i really felt like i fit in real well and considered everyone friends.

fast forward to a few weeks ago, one of the girls, let's call her kay, had noticed i act a certain way when i feel like i'm being ignored or excluded from the group. (that's a whole other story, but the short of it is i can't stand it when i'm in a group and no one is talking to me.) so, kay has been encouraging me and trying to help me sort it all out. we have even side hugged as she was leaving group before.

earlier this week, me and kay met up for a beer and she told me that trying to help me had burned her out emotionally and it made me feel awful. as we were leaving, we side hugged.

last night, our group was having a going away party for someone who is moving away for a job. one of our regular attendees (another guy) typically likes to give side hugs to all the girls as they leave. he wasn't there so i took over that role. i even had to run down half way down the stairs to catch 2 of them as they were leaving.

so, kay gets ready to leave, she is standing at the top of the stairs talking to someone. and as soon as they are done, she turns and gets about two steps down before i can get up next to her and she asks, "what are you doing?". as i reach my arm around her, i say, "giving you a side hug!" she acted like it was really awkward, even though it was very brief.

when i got home, i sent her a text, just making chit chat. she responded with this:

"listen you made me super uncomfortable today and have been following me out when i leave group so you could force a hug. i need to separate all conversation because it's affecting me a lot. it's just not ok anymore so  need to block your number. i can't be involved in this anymore."

so, out of respect for her, i'm leaving my small group and for the near future, will be avoiding any situation where she might see me (i.e. at church). which sucks because i really liked being in that group and the church as a whole. so, i f'ed up pretty good.

Output: emotionally burned out girl trying to help me. side hugged her along with all other girls as they were leaving a party. she got creeped out and now i'm going to miss a group of people who i've come to love being around.
