Well I'm glad to know you've not been in the hospital or laying in a ditch somewhere! Just teasing, that's what my mom tells me when I've not checked in with her in awhile, glad you're back! And I had an American Bully who was deaf, in fact she was the reason I started watching you so I could command her, and now I even have the neighborhood kids signing so they can control her too!
I really am enjoying your channel and learning ASL. I currently have a rescue greyhound. Although I have loved all my dogs, my grey is just the best and most unique dog of all of them. Loving, loyal, low maintenance, doesn't shed, couch potato, etc. Best dog ever!
Hey, it’s alright. Happy hear things are better for you. There are times when many of us need some alone time. Rest, refresh, and recharge our batteries-I would say. Still enjoying your lessons very much. Learned quite a bit in last 6 months.😊 Missed you.
Glad to see you are back. I have been learning ASL from you. My Brother started dating a deaf woman. He is learning as well as others in the family. Your videos really help.
Congrats on your new pet! There's A LOT of words on here that I would benefit from, probably most of them. :) I slowed it down and watched several times but I'm a slow learner. One big one I get confused on is how "figure out" and "right" and other words that look similar are done. I've slowed it down on here and I'll keep watching and maybe I'll eventually get the hang of some of the other words. I'm happy you're back and can't wait to see what you have coming up. Maybe eventually you'll show us your pet!
It is good just to slow down the speed and practice reading your signing. it is great! Just practicing understanding your monologue is fabulous!! Thank you. Love the updates!! Yes I have 2 dogs, a Shi Tzu (sp?) and poodle...Rawlly and Appa. They are my sweeties!
Thanks, Lisa! YES vlogs are great for seeing how much you can follow at full speed, half speed, etc., and learning some new signs along the way :). Cute names for your dogs! Love it!
So glad to see you again! Definitely missed you! We all totally understand that life is busy & takes many different turns. Never feel guilty about doing what you need to do for your sanity. The world will take & take until there's nothing left. Glad you were able to take some time away for awhile & get replenished. Congratulations on your adoption. I'm sure he will bring you much joy. God bless you & thank you for taking the time to share with us and help us grow. We appreciate the beautiful person you are😇🙏💕
I love ur channel so much! Asl is a big passion of mine and I would love to teach it when I am older! Thank you for these videos! Also I may have posted this twice! Lol
Glad to see you back. I've been away from your channel for awhile due to personal and family health reasons. I need to refocus on my asl learning to strengthen my memory and give me purpose and something to do, work on everyday. Going thru some stuff now and focusing on your channel always helps .
It’s so good to see you again, and to spark my interest in learning ASL again. I’d had classes at the local Deaf Community Center a couple of years ago, but apparently they aren’t teaching again. My hearing is getting worse all the time. Without my aids, I can’t hear myself talk. I also have a new pup, an English Cream Golden Retriever. She just turned one on Oct. 27. I hope to teach her to respond to signs, too.
Thank you for your comment, Gloria! Congratulations on your new dog - how fun! And I hope you're able to find new local classes to resume your ASL lessons in person.
🐶🐱 We have a dog and 3 cats. I just recently saw your channel. And I'm learning ASL through your videos 😊 I'm hearing but just want to learn how to basically communicate with deaf people. Thank you very much for your help.
I really appreciate the videos and all that you do for the deaf community. My daughter has sensorineural hearing loss and my wife and I are learning asl.
Hi Meredith, 😊 how’s your pet doing ? I have a dog and yess it is a lot of work although it is very nice to have her around she’s so funny and loving, my daughter loves her and so I do. They def change your life for the best ❤. Regards from Mexico ! Thank you for sharing !
I'm so happy you got a new pet. They give us so much love. I'm so happy you took the time for yourself. Hopefully he can make the ups and downs of your roller coaster be smaller.😆 love that you are back, it is great to see you!
Awwwe I have 2 dogs and they are definitely a lot of work so don’t worry, I understand! Soo glad you are back though and I’m ready to learn some more asl 🤍🤍
Would love to follow your communication with your new pet :) I'm always amazed at how well my adopted dog responds to certain visual signals and for other things he responds to sounds.
Your videos are wonderful and helping me so much. I really want to impress my cousin (she is hearing Impaired) and with your videos I have learnt so much already. I thank you :-) Greg
Congrats on your furbaby. I have two. Lol..training my new dog to be my service dog. Umm...have to train myself first. Not sure I am a good trainer. Yes, being a good pet parent takes a lot of time. I hope you have many wonderful days together with your new baby .
Hi, thanks for the kind comment ! YES I keep meaning to do a video with. food signs. There are just SO MANY WORDS! If it helps, here's a VERY old video in which I use pictures to teach many food signs. Note that it's kind of hard to see, which is why I took this video down. I hope to re-do at some point: ua-cam.com/video/dn4oh-U_qvI/v-deo.html
I have a dog and four cats. Today I had to rescue a frog from one of them that had gotten in the house somehow. I never let the cats outside (indoor only) but... frog? Apparently frogs can be little ninjas.
I'd love to know if there is a sign for guinea pig and if so what concepts are part of the sign as most languages' name for them do not easily connect with: small, rodent, from South America.
Hi Alyssa, thanks for your request! What types of vocabulary were you hoping to learn? You can use the suggestion form linked in this video's description to give more specific items. In the meantime, here's my video for EMTs: ua-cam.com/video/JaWE6cFl8ac/v-deo.html
Hi Hailee, good question! I don' speak while signing because that'd be like speaking English AND Spanish at the same time. It wouldn't work! Speaking while signing (known as simultaneous communication, or sim-com) often results in one or both languages not being fully and grammatically expressed.
Yeah final long time as good time summer too hot in my home area most temperature 100* or less! Big super strong Meredith asl warm heart next l hug warm your heart ! I never forget not miss the time! I am health heal anything expect already surgery finished on still face side effects radiation serious pain relief l am patient to left no work and will be later back on oct 1, l feel better well soon and then retire next years l goal!

Lol thanks for your concern :) glad to be back. And how interesting that your dog was your inspiration for learning to sign!! Thanks for sharing
@@ASLMeredith No me losing my hearing is my inspiration for learning sign, the dog was just a challenge!
@@WORDversesWORLD Oh I must have misunderstood! Even better - so important to maintain communication.
@@ASLMeredith Truly!

Awww I love that!! Glad you’ve had your share of pups over the years and love your current rescue the most !
So very happy to hear that you are doing good. We missed you,
Thanks, Mack! Happy to be back.

I'm so glad these have helped you as you learn ASL! Great that you're learning to better communicate with your cousin.

YES! I'm so excited :) I'm so happy you're back and I hope you're doing okay!! Dont stress too much over this
Thanks so much for the kind words, Tori, and for sharing about your pets! I love their names :)
Thank you
I love the content you make! By chance do you have any food vocabulary videos in the works?
Hi, thanks for the kind comment ! YES I keep meaning to do a video with. food signs. There are just SO MANY WORDS!

I’ve had a dog named Noodle (gifted to me & siblings by our neighbor.) , and a cat named Yoruichi. 🙂
Cute names!! Love it.
So what kind of pet and why didn't you show a pic?! The AUDACITY! Fr tho, I wanna SEEEEEEEE!!! 🥺
just wondering, did you get a dog or what type of pet? btw, so nice to see you back!
I got a dog! Keeping the details limited to protect the pup's privacy ;)
@@ASLMeredith yay, enjoy your new doggie! Are you training him/her with ASL?!? 😁🐶❤️
I’d love to know the sign for ferret(s) !!
I have a dog and four cats. Today I had to rescue a frog from one of them that had gotten in the house somehow. I never let the cats outside (indoor only) but... frog?
Apparently frogs can be little ninjas.
Thanks for sharing, Kit! So many pets - love it !
I'd love to know if there is a sign for guinea pig and if so what concepts are part of the sign as most languages' name for them do not easily connect with: small, rodent, from South America.
Thanks, J.R.! I'll include 'guinea pig' in an upcoming video -- though it is often fingerspelled "guinea" + sign PIG.
Will you be teaching your dog sign language??
I wanted to! He was adopted, so already knew a few non-ASL (dog sign) hand signals that we had to run with. Maybe in the future!
Can you do a video on hospital signs?
Hi Alyssa, thanks for your request! What types of vocabulary were you hoping to learn? You can use the suggestion form linked in this video's description to give more specific items. In the meantime, here's my video for EMTs: ua-cam.com/video/JaWE6cFl8ac/v-deo.html
What's the sign for a service animal?
Sweetheart I understand I miss you I love you as for friend
How do I sign “snake” ? Love your videos!
Thanks! I'll add that to the list!
I just recently got 3 tarantulas as pets and still cant find out the sign for tarantula.
OMG. Yikes! Not for me, but hope they make you happy. You'd use the sign SPIDER, or if you want to be really specific, fingerspell.
🐈🐈
What breed of dog did you get?
A mix - we're not sure!
NEVER APOLOGISE FOR SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR PET
If you're hearing, why don't you just talk while signing?
Hi Hailee, good question! I don' speak while signing because that'd be like speaking English AND Spanish at the same time. It wouldn't work! Speaking while signing (known as simultaneous communication, or sim-com) often results in one or both languages not being fully and grammatically expressed.
