Favorite Video Friday – The Greyhound Sneak Attack

I had trouble deciding which video to share this Friday. Did I want to go with slow, sweet and adorable? Or, fast, funny and suspenseful? Such a decision!

I’ll let you see which one I chose, but I will tell you that the first two minutes of this are my favorite,here’s a chase in the middle that will make you smile too. I hope you like it.

Curious about the one I left out? Head on over to my Facebook page to see it. It’s very sweet.

Happy Friday everyone!

Favorite Video Friday – Spring Fever Zoomies

I don’t know about you, but now that the snow has all but disappeared and the temperatures are starting to warm up (60′s and 70′s predicted for this weekend!), I am ready to get out  and enjoy the weather for as much and as long as I can. I feel like a dog with the zoomies!

I want to dog my hands into the fresh earth and make something grow.

I want to clean out closets and do some spring cleaning.

I want to speed walk with my dogs at the dog park.

The truth is… I feel like a dog with the zoomies!

Maybe that is why this video seemed to resonate with me today. A beach, warm sand, a dog and the sun shining brightly down upon us. Ah yes. That is exactly what I want.

Happy Spring and Happy Friday everyone!

Favorite Video Friday – Newfie spring dance? Or, just an after bath roll?

Ahhhh! Do smell that?

It’s spring!

After a long, cold and snowy winter, we are finally getting a taste of spring here in Minnesota. The snow is melting, the birds are serenading each other, and it’s warm enough to go outside without a jacket on (well, at least until the sun goes down).

The dogs have been extra squirrely lately, and I have to admit that I have been too. I want to throw open the windows and let all the fresh air in. I’m feeling the need to clean out closets and redecorate my home. Cabin fever? Or, spring craziness?

Maybe all this spring-fever stuff has gone to my head, but when I first saw Bentley having fun rolling in the dirt I immediately thought he was just doing his version of a spring dance. Of course, he did just get a bath, so maybe I’m just reading into things here. Take a look and see for yourself. What do you think? Spring dance?

Happy Friday everyone!
 

Favorite Video Friday – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

This one came to me via my friend Hilary at FangShuiCanines. It made me laugh so hard that it woke my dogs up.

I know agility competitions are serious business for many people, but sometimes a girl’s just got to run, ya know?

Make sure you stay and catch the third leap. I swear Shiva stays suspended in air for at least a second or two.

Happy Friday everyone!

Favorite Video Friday – Mud Wallowing Dog

It’s been lovely in Minnesota the last few days. We’ve had a series of 35 degree days and the snow is finally starting to melt. It has me thinking that spring is finally on its way.

Soon the crocuses and tulips will be pushing up from the ground, and the birds will be singing their love songs to one another. I’ll be able to throw open the windows and breathe in the fresh spring air, and the dogs and I can spend more time outside.

Of course, there is one thing that comes with a spring thaw… MUD. Lots of it.

And, who loves mud? Dogs. They love running through it and rolling in it and, worst of all, wallowing in it.

If the dog in this video is any example, than I am in a heap of trouble.  It looks like he’s finessed the whole “wallowing” part. (I’m really, really hoping that my dogs get any ideas.)

Jasper! Get out of that mud!

Happy Friday everyone!

Favorite Video Friday – So God made a dog

This week’s video came to me via my friend Sue at For Love of a Dog. I saw it on her Facebook page as I was on my way to work and I just knew it had to be this week’s video.

Unlike the videos I share most weeks, this video doesn’t have cute little dogs running through snow or playing with a cat. But it does have some beautiful pictures and the most wonderful words. I strongly suspect you will be sharing this with all your dog-loving friends after you watch it.

Clearly God must love a dog. And really, who can blame him?

Happy Friday everyone!

Favorite Video Friday – Sheltie Puppy Fun

I know I may be a bit biased on this one, but there really is just nothing more entertaining than a Sheltie. I got to see a lot of silliness while I was on vacation over the holidays. What a joy to see them play!

There is a reason they refer to Shelties as “clowns”. They are animated, fun and quite precocious.

Today’s video features the perfect example of what it is like to have a Sheltie puppy in your house. They are not only roly-poly, cute, and cuddly, they are also quite entertaining to watch. Meet the cutest little ball of fur you ever did see.

Smiling yet? I hope so!

Happy New Year and Happy Friday everyone!

Favorite Video Friday – Dachshund Sled Dog Team

After this past weekend’s snow storm, I knew it was time to bring out the big guns. Yup. The sled dog team that beats all other sled dog teams.

Meet The Dachshunds from Long Island.

These three little dogs can pull a sled down a snowy city street (with a child in it!) and still have a smile on their faces at the end of it. I must admit, I was quite impressed with their prowess.

I also thought they were extremely adorable.

This week’s video might be a bit long, but I think you will get the pure joy of the day after just a few minutes.

Happy Friday everyone!

Favorite Video Friday – Greek Dachshund Vacation

I don’t know about you, but there is a particular joy I get out of watching my dogs do what they were meant to do or just having a good ol’ time just being dogs. It’s fun watching them have fun.

Maybe that’s why this video resonated with me. Meet Spithas.

Spithas is a Dachshund who lives in Greece. Based on the video, this boy knows how to have fun on vacation! I think my dogs would be very jealous if they knew vacations could be as fun as this one. Oh if only I could take them to Greece and let them run on the beach!

I hope you enjoy watching Spithas as much as I did.

Happy Friday!

Favorite Video Friday – Ninja Cat and Sheltie of Steel

Favorite Video Friday’s are usually reserved for dog videos, and this week is no different.

There is definitely a dog in this video.

However, the real star of this short film is the cat, or more appropriately, a kitten named Bella. Sam the Sheltie may be somewhat of a bit player, but he clearly shows he’s made of steel. Those kitty sneak attacks don’t phase him a bit – even when they result in a nip on the leg.

I hope you get a kick out of it as much as I did.

Happy Friday!
