Patty suggested I post a critter video, as long as I’m not up to posting anything more challenging.
Here’s a puppy who deserves an Oscar for making out that a little toy car has run him over (translation: bumped into his foot). Ah, me, such trouble!
Keep an eye on this little character. He might grew up to be an actor.
(What I wouldn’t give for a good night’s sleep!)
Puppies don’t care: they’ll cork off right in the middle of the kitchen floor, if that’s where they are when Hypnos finds them. “Hypnos? Who’s that?” we wonder. An ancient Greek puppy-sitter, sez I.
Aren’t you glad you’re not a mirror? Puppies gonna get you, puppies gonna get you!
Lots of animals want to fight with their reflections. I had a chameleon who just about popped his cork when he encountered a mirror.
This little puppy has just about mastered the art of going up and down the stairs. Just about, but not quite. Somewhere I have an old photo of my iguana going up the stairs at bedtime (he was very regular in his habits). It’d encourage this puppy if he could only see it.
The human lap was made for dogs and cats (sorry, horses!), although they can also fall asleep on furniture. Note: It’s disrespectful to play with their tongues while they’re asleep. Try that with a monitor lizard and see what happens.
Puppies can be obstreperous. Big puppies can be bigly obstreperous. But consider the patience of this rabbit–or is it that he just won’t give up his seat on the couch, no matter how much the puppy provokes him?
Whose pups are these, anyway? They don’t look anything like the dog (a golden retriever). Did she agree to watch them for a while? Did she know what she was getting into?
Well, a lot of baby-sitters don’t know that.
There are dogs who go positively bananas over squeaky toys. Like the puppy in this video. Question One: How long can the puppy keep this up? Question Two: What’s the effect of this game on human spectators? I mean, hey, we might have something there…
It’s been a hard week, we’ve just had supper, and I think this video may be the last push I need to send me off to bed for a nap. Watch the sleeping baby make the drowsy puppy sleepier and sleepier.
We humans don’t understand the threat posed by springy doorstops. As you can see from these videos, puppies keep springy doorstops from getting out of hand. It saves us the labor of doing it ourselves.
