There is evidence to suggest that I have too much time on my hands...

...which is strange because I feel SUPER BUSY.  

Anyway, I made a video for you.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH!!!! THAT I AM WILLING TO HUMILIATE MYSELF BY DOING A COMMENT ENTIRELY IN DOOCE CAPS. xoxoxoxo (there I redeemed myself)

[Melinda]

Haha! Loved it! (Thinking good thoughts for Rosie.)

[Margaret]

Although I did get a LITTLE dizzy in that one part of the video, I loved it. I would like to see Pushkin's tricks though. Hope Rosie is OK. Cancer suckz.

I was able to identify several nature type objects in the video.
1. 3 dogs
2. Trees- or their scientific name- Barkus Standis. ( standing in the ground w/ bark)
3. A rough patch of green that I identified as grass. I would love to be creative and say Spanish needle grass but I would just be making crap up.
4. Oh, and I hope it is not cancer because we would all be sad. ( yes, I am 49 and can now speak for everyone in the world) Love, bee

Oh good heavens ! I had not seen the whole video when I started.. 4 dogs, a cat and some squirrels. I do not want you to think I am an idiot. Also, 1 homeless type person.

[blackbird]

I can't believe I watched the whole thing.
That is how much I love you.

i was thinking that maybe rosie was suffering from a collapsing trachea. better than cancer but not fun. i hope she is ok. if you want them really excited about eating try feeding raw... i have fed raw to my dogs for about 8 years now.

[Dawn]

That was the cutest thing I've ever seen.
I hope Rosie gets better soon.

I am watching it tomorrow at work (shhh) where there is a really fast connection.
Just letting you know I was here.

[Pam L]

Well the bee already spoke for me, so....
hoping Rosie is OK.

My first visit to your blog. This is such a tender, sweet, funny video. I have made some videos of Chet Baker (my Boston terrier) but I sound like such a dope on them I can't use them. My dog voice has a Forrest Gumpy accent. Disaster. Your dog voice is fine.
I think Rosie will be fine, too. Sick dogs don't get that excited about dinner, as you observe.
The upside down part rocks. And I'm pretty sure that's a flicker, not a pileated woodpecker. Flickers go on and on and on on the same note, while a pileated's call is faster, swells in volume and rises in pitch in the middle, and is a much shorter series of calls (maybe ten to the flicker's 20-30 yaps).
Very sweet video. Your doggirls are adorable.

Thanks for the bird call ID, Julie!!

Enjoyed your video.
Collapsed Trachea sounds about right, hope it isn't the Big CA. Feed your old pets what works. A word to the wise, don't go raw on old pets, you wallet will suffer yet another disaster. If you start them young fine, Salmonella anyone? Gastroenteritis, etc.

Forgot to mention, almost in tears, April shares almost identical face to my Cissy Lou, lost her last May to complications if diabetes @ age 14. She was exhausted but gave me her all during the 1.5 years we battled it.

Heck, I'm incredibly far from being an empty nester and when my dog and cat got elderly and didn't eat very well, we totally made them people food for a time just to get some nutrients into them.

Also, Pushkin's expression suggests the only trick he is going to perform is refraining from attacking you for not giving him a treat.

I'll have you know that only above-average, good looking people talk to their dogs. Almost constantly.
Whoa! I just did a catch and release with a fly!
