*Oh la la! Talk about a gray Monday! I don’t know how the weather is fairing in your part of the world but here it is just trop triste! And I am not talking about a “Ooh, the flowers are going to be so happy” kind of spring rain but rather a “Charlotte Brontë-ey oppression on the moors” kind of drizzle. Time to pull out the big guns because if this doesn’t make you smile, I give up!*
Those of you that have read Ben’s Guide to Getting What You Want (which I will admit with some embarrassment is probably my favorite post that I have ever written), will know that our beloved “dog” (I use the term loosely as he doesn’t seem to be entirely convinced that he is one) lives to eat. He is simply doing his duty as a Golden Retriever. His breakfast is a given–his sleepy, coffee-deprived human keepers barely need any prodding to do his bidding then. But dinner, aka code word “Lunchtime” is an entirely different matter and he will spend hours plotting and scheming about what precise steps need to be taken to hear that magic word. Since that territory has already been covered, voici le résultat. For the record, this is a relatively calm victory dance but it does show many of his favorite moves such as the twirl, bunny hops and a bark of joy!
Have a wonderful week everyone!
Ben is a joy, thanks for the vid…terrific. We lost our beauty, Skye,(that's her in my icon, left) last Tuesday and we are having a very hard time. But we still have our lovely Finney, the Sussex Spaniel. We're moving lock, stock, and barrel to France on May 16th, and hope eventually to add another bull terrier to our pack. Skye was the food queen…never enough for her! Our consolation is that we know she has all the food she wants in heaven. Thanks for the lovely post.
I guess I will now have to counter with a video of Karina responding to the sound of your video. If I can get her off the back of the chair where she is currently sacked out, that is.
Still working on the bunny hop one.
Any friend of Tabitha's is a friend of mine! Welcome!!! And oh my a puppy–you are killing me! And I love to watch how the tiny ones just go to town attacking their bigger sisters and brothers–who just bravely put it up with it! As the French say, Bon Courage!!!
Methinks you have mucho mucho reasons to be happy and excited Jeanne!! Enjoy Paris!
Ahhhh and we wouldn't have you any other way, Tabitha!! A true dame. 🙂
Yep, Ben is bilingual. 🙂 Are your dogs?
Yay! Happy to bring a little happiness to Cali–hope your weather is better this week!
Sanda! Did I know that you have TWO Goldens? Wahaaa!!! I want a second so badly but not yet. Isn't it amazing how different their personalities are? Ben could honestly care less about his walks–nothing compares to his dinner!
I sing everyday, Jennifer! Truly! Music means so much to me. Maybe like baking for you? 🙂
Hi nice to meet you, came through Tabitha. We just got a pupster and over the weekend we realised he doesn't realise he's tiny – he was chasing the equivalent of Ben around the house relentlessly!
