Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

(Do you believe this guy? He’s posting a video of dogs sleeping! How exciting is that?)

It is said that for a dog to fall asleep in a weird position denotes great trust in the human members of the household.  But I don’t know what it means when humans do it.

How Long Will A Cat Put Up With This?

Animals make me nervous when they play-fight. Lizards, turtles, and mice always mean business when they fight. But dogs and cats? You really never know how these little play-fights are going to turn out.

With a snapping turtle, you always know.

Special Norbert

I’d better post this before it goes away. And maybe Norbert can generate some views.

This is Norbert getting combed. You can’t expect him to do it himself.

Sleepy Puppies

Watching these tired puppies try to stay awake reminds me of a high school incident.

Last-period Spanish class (our school day was a full eight hours), and my friend Jimmy false asleep at his desk. Mrs. Kosa beckons for quite as she dismisses the class, and everyone tiptoes out of the room. I stay because I want to see Jimmy’s reaction to waking up and finding everybody gone. Funny! What a laugh that was.

Daunted Dogs

You wonder what scares dogs. A big stuffed toy. A shadow. Just about anything, really.

But I noted that there weren’t any really little dogs in these videos. I don’t think the little ones scare so easily. Why do you suppose that is?

Daffy Dogs

What happens when the punching dummy punches you back? A little fuzzy dog finds out the hard way.

Dogs have learned to excel at having misadventures. They have not learned how to carry long sticks through narrow doorways. Parrots laugh at them for that.

Dogs Make Their Own Fun

It looks like dogs never suffer from ennui. That’s a crossword puzzle word for boredom. They don’t do crosswords, but everything else is on the table. The dogs in this video are all having a blast.

And some dogs have discovered that they, like cats, can invent all sorts of ways to keep you from reading!
