You won’t believe how ecstatically happy this dog is over his introduction to this baby goat. You gotta hand it to dogs: they have a gift for joy. The goat is more concerned with trying to understand this new environment and keeping his feet–er, hooves–on the slippery wooden floor. The dog skids all over the place but is having too much fun to care.
Isn’t God’s stuff cool?
We have here some dogs who let their imaginations run away with them. This is how dogs make their own fun, and it takes a certain amount of intelligence to do that. You can’t have imagination without intelligence. Well, some intelligence, at least: not necessarily enough to meet your needs.
But you can’t deny it–dogs know how to have fun.
I was going to post some slowworm video, but decided not to push my luck. So here are some cats instead.
My cats have always liked to help me make the bed. They dive under the sheets, on top of the sheets, and have a wonderful time. If you get to playing with them, you can have a wonderful time, too–although the bed doesn’t get made.
A word of caution: Do not attempt any of this with a waterbed.
This is billed as “Funny Cats Annoying Dogs,” but mostly it’s cats trying to elicit play or affection from dogs who are trying to do something else. It’s such fun to watch animals interact–but boy, would we be in for it, if cats and dogs had hands!
This is specially for my friend, “Jessicafischerqueen,” if she’s tuning in from South Korea. I think she has a thing for hamsters.
These two little guys, who look like rather young hamsters, still have a bit to learn about using an exercise wheel. But watch their feet–like something from a Roadrunner cartoon, moving so fast, you can hardly see them.
Here are kittens discovering that the world is full of amazing things they never expected.
I love it when kittens first find out that they can make puffy tails and run all around, doing it. My cats don’t bother to fluff their tails out anymore, but they had a grand week or so when they first learned how to do it.
If there’s one thing guaranteed to put a dog into an embarrassing position, it’s a penchant for over-enthusiasm. But it takes more than a tumble to keep a good dog down!
The column’s done, my lunch is eaten, and I’d better fold my tent while I still have a tent to fold.
For some reason cats don’t like you to sleep if they’re not sleeping. So here are some cats employing various tactics for waking up their owners.
My cat Henry used to get very upset if the phone rang and we didn’t answer it. You know, sometimes you are engaged in something that simply won’t allow you to go to the phone. But Henry accepted no excuses. “I don’t care what you’re doing! Answer the phone!”
And he used to wake my wife by putting his nose against her eyes.
My cats can’t resist doing this to themselves, although they never, never seem pleased with the result.
I would say this cat had a purpose in walking around with a paper bag over his head, but I can’t imagine what it could have been.
Maybe he writes for Scholastic Books.
This fun tune kept popping into my head all week. I thought I’d like to share it with you.
Okay–if you’re young, a lot of these references to current event of the early 1960s are going to slip right past you. But if you’re not so young, this’ll really bring back memories.
The trouble with topical humor is, it has a very short shelf life. Someday everybody who ever guffawed with Allan Sherman will have died out and everybody who’s left won’t know what the dickens he’s talking about.
But for the time being… oh, boy!
