She can't do puzzles or anything if she's left alone, so she just sits there staring at walls. And she speaks to everyone in Spanish because she assumes that everyone speaks Spanish. (She doesn't know any better. She thinks everyone in the U.S. speaks Spanish.) So no one responds to her since they don't know what she's saying or asking. So basically she doesn't talk to anyone either. That's what's upsetting to me. I mean, what can she do when we're not there...

You're in the States? Is it possible that staff there speak Spanish? I find that frequently the case a lot of places. I'm not trying to be offensive, but try the cleaning crew, kitchen, and maintenance department. Every place that contracts out around here has a lot of Hispanics, one is the weekend crew at one of my gyms and I love her dearly. We walk and try to understand each other and sometimes Google translate helps and others we just walk. We started hugging sometimes even. She's so cute
