That's amore

Tonight, over a dinner of chicken parmesan, Jerod and I discovered the fun we could have with just a little bit of spaghetti and some hungry dogs. Although, some of it is a blatant copy of Dooce's torture of her dog, we tried to make it a little more original by putting it to catchy music!! Yay! Look at the doggies! And the spaghetti!!



BTW, Happy Birthday Jen! Your goober dogs miss you.

More than just a pretty face

My doggies have been working on a few new "tricks", so I thought I'd whip out the old dog lady-ness and post some video.

Video 1: My childhood dog, Whoopie, used to be the master of the treat-on-the-nose trick and I've always wanted Cache to learn it, but he was always just a little too high strung and easily distracted. I think with a combination of having to now compete for the treats and the fact that he's still on a diet to lose his "surgery weight", he is a lot more motivated to perform for the treats. So, I give you....da da daaaaaa....the treat-on-the-nose trick.




Video 2: Honey is her own dog. She doesn't perform for anyone. I've known for a long time that she is a lot smarter then she lets on, but she just doesn't care enough to perform. Plus, she's not too treat motivated. She'd like a treat, but no one is gonna make her want one THAT BAD. Since my sister, Jen, has been staying with me this month, Honey has taken a liking to her that I've never seen before. Jerod and I are officially ill-smelling chopped liver compared to Jen. One day I watched in disbelief as Jen had Honey sit and shake her hand without any extra coaxing. I was like, "what the...??" Honey looked up at me like, "Crap, you saw that?" So, now Jerod and I have been working on "the shake" like no one's business and she now has halfway resigned herself to performing for us. What a sell out. Geez.



Just a sidenote: Yes, I do call my dog gross in that last video. It's just that when she's hungry and she sees food, she foams and drips and slobbers at the mouth until the entire floor has a shiny hue to it. I love her, but it's disgusting. Believe me.

Video 3: They don't always get it. As I was trying to get Cache to do his thing, Honey decided she wanted to sit next to him and steal the treat off his nose. Clever girl. But, poor Cache was trying so hard to be good...

Ba-lud-DAH

I've watched this video 10 thousand time already and it's totally NOT FUNEEEEEEY.

My sister would be proud of his stellar enunciation. BA-LUD-DAH

Puppy lovin' and face chewin'

Ok, I'm having way too much fun with the video feature on my digital camera....um...and Microsoft Movie Maker....um....and YouTube. I captured Honey and Cache engaged in their favorite playtime activity: Face Chewing.

This first clip is just what I took of them before Jerod showed me that yes, I actually do have a video editor on my computer. Who knew?!? Anyway, I like this one because you can hear them talking to each other and it ends off with a simultaneous sneeze. Too cute. Just ignore Alex Trebek in the background. Listen to the puppies. Focus on the puppies!



This is after I played with Movie Maker for a few minutes. I had to put it to music! So, I have a question for you. Can YOU feel the love?



Jerod just called me "that weird dog lady that puts videos of her dogs on YouTube". Whatever dude. I'm totally cool.
