Anyone else watch her?

Sad about Bennix but I wonder what the reason actually is as she didn’t really say. I liked her last videos when she got Bennix so will enjoy her videos getting her new dog.

If she says he is fine now and living happily with another family I'm guessing it must have been something behavioural and not medical.

I've just done a quick Google to see what behavioural issues it could be:

"There were three main behavioural reasons why guide dogs were withdrawn from service: environmental anxiety, training issues (a lack of willingness to work or confidence), and fear and aggression. Other reasons included chasing, attentiveness, social behaviour, excitability and distraction."

It's odd that Bennix didn't have this behaviour sooner but my guess would be environmental anxiety. Bennix may have not been as comfortable with all the travelling that Molly does and places she goes as he once seemed and maybe the anxiety of it all made him lose weight etc.

Nevermind, just checked Reddit and someone says it was a bladder control issue. The poster said she replied about it in a comment on the YouTube video and then deleted it (but I guess they could be making that up). If it is in fact a bladder issue she probably deleted the comment so she can make a video announcing it later.

Yeah I read it was a bladder control issue from a different site. The person I dad it from said maybe it was when going on flights with Molly which would make sense as that would mean he could live a normal happy life where he doesn’t have to fly so it won’t affect him. Although she said he has weight loss which if so maybe also something else or something behavioural. Was it Bennix that had issues with the food switch initially?? Maybe something like IBD or another gastric issue that can cause weight loss but can be controlled but stops him working

Pretty sure she got option E, the one the trainers thought would be the best choice. Either him or the option C black female. As I’m pretty sure you can see a black dog under the table on her Instagram story from today?

The one where she is showing her dessert? I can't see anything under the table (not saying there isn't anything, could be my own poor eyesight). Or has she deleted something?

Not sure what was on the table I think it was empty. But it’s not there now - not sure if the times elapsed though. It was a black metal table and I think I could see black fur to the right. Just checked it’s definitely not the dessert one.

Not surprised which dog she ended up with. Although before I saw that insta story I did think she’d push for the ginger one at least to spend the night with. I think the smaller black dog is cuter in terms of looks, which she says doesn’t matter but she talks about it a lot

Just found this thread, did we ever find out why her and the boyfriend broke up?

I know this is a rave thread but I’ve watched her on and off for years and I don’t know why but I’m not fully convinced she’s 100% blind. Just some things she does makes me think she can’t see just not as well!
