Raccoons!

I was looking on youtube for that video of the raccoon "playing" water sprinkler (it looks like he's playing the harp; it was on America's Funny Videos years and years ago) when I came across these:



Glad to see the little feller got out on his own, but did you catch the casual paw lick at the end: "I meant to do that."

And this one ("I'm not worthy of the ice creams"):



The lady does have a point; wildlife that is fed by humans become dependent on that food source. But give the little guy the ice cream you've been teasing him with, fer cryin' out loud!

Good Boy, Gonzo. No, raccoon aren't really bad, they were just drawn that way.

What the ???

I have seen this creature gracing the 'Catch the Keystone' train service billboard on the PA Turnpike on my way to and from work.. It makes me wonder every day as I drive past what this thing is supposed to be. After many miles back and forth, I have come to the conclusion that it's supposed to be a combination of all the male/female oversleeping commuters as it's shaving and putting on makeup as it's driving to work. The title link will show the other "monsters"on the Keystone website one can avoid by taking the train instead of driving: rubberneckers, construction, etc, but this is the one that disturbs me most. Men who wear makeup aren't a problem for me, per se, but I have always been freaked out by those performers whose costumes are half gown, half tuxedo. Probably frightened by one on "The Gong Show" as a kid.
This video is equally freaky for me. (eeeshch!)



Good boy, Gonzo. I'll let you know when it's safe to come out again, m'kay?

Just wow.

This was sent to me by my dad, who passed along that the dancers are deaf. Amazing!



Good boy, Gonzo. Look at all those hands to skritch your belly!

So you say you have a lot of photos of your pet?

Not as many as Bodie's people do, I bet. I thought I had too many pictures of our boy, but now I think I need a few more.





Good Boy, Gonzo. Now smile for the camera, hmm?

Talking dogs?

Now, our boy starts with a sort of "ararar" when he's frustrated, and I tell him,"Use your words..." when he barks, but these pups are far more advanced in their vocabulary.




Good Boy, Gonzo. Maybe it's French, non? Oh, right, it's Pirate.

New tricks!

Kinda fun video, showing off beat tricks that this trainer taught her dog. Most would only be useful for a movie stunt dog, but I liked the video.



Good boy, Gonzo. I know you could get most of these without a problem.

First day on the new job

I start my new job today. Just a tad nervous. It's like the first day of school all over again, complete with new clothes. I hope I do well. Mostly, I hope Gonzo transitions well.

Found this on YouTube and thought you would enjoy. It's advertising a show on BBC called Walk on the Wild Side.



Make sure to watch the rest of the adverts from the BBC as well; funny stuff (especially the prairie dogs)!

Good boy, Gonzo. I'll be home soon.

Gonzo's Dream Dance

So I was sitting on the sofa with our boy, when I heard a odd sound. Gonzo was sound asleep, snoring and dreaming. Of course, I grabbed the camera:



I edited music into it, "Dream Baby" by Roy Orbison, and it's posted on Youtube. Of course, I don't think one can hear the snoring as well. I felt I had to add the disclaimer on the end, because of the idgeots (IDG-E-OTS!)* that comment on dreaming dog videos that the dog is having some sort of fit.

Good Boy, Gonzo. This seemed like a sweet dream. Sorry I woke you.

*I had a co-worker once who was from some European country who would scream this at people. Is it a wonder I don't know what country he came from.? "IDG-E-OTS! I am SURRR-OUNDED by IDG-E-OTS!"

Vacation post day two

I imagine that if my parents didn't still have dial up, I would try to post from their house. But they do, so I won't, hence another video post.

I hope this makes you smile:

Good Boy, Gonzo. The babies are smiling at you.
