I sound SO serious (bordering on grumpy)

I made these little video clips the other day. It was supposed to be one continuous video, but every time I tried to pause it, it started an entirely new clip.

In the first clip, I said I was going to make a predication, which I realize now I never actually made. The predication was that I would throw the tennis ball (as usual), Francie would get it first (as usual) and Jacquie would practically explode with frustration (as usual). That pretty much happened, but the dogs were a bit distracted by the fact that I was holding a camera.

(The dogs just heard themselves on the video and came and got all up in the computer's face.)

Now I start to sound ~~grumpy~~ intense. It was cold and I was tired. However, I feel as strongly about exercising dogs as some people do about buying a dog instead of getting one from the shelter. Don't get a freakin' dog if you're not going to give it sufficent exercise. (The backyard is not sufficient exercise. I'm just saying)

I think what strikes me most about these last two clips is a) do I really sound like that? and b) how strongly can someone say the word "poo"? It's like "POO!"

Well, let me just say, I love video posts. I'm dorky like that. Did you ever find the poo? I must know.

You're a star!

My dog looooove her chuck-it... and I see Francie does too!

After I get my son on the bus at 6:25, the only other people I see are prisoners of dogs.

Thanks for the video post -- it's great to be able to see and hear you.

As our very old dog (who needs a walk out to the mailbox and back and then is exhausted) winds down, we've been considering the "what's next?" question. We're not sure that either of us has the time/energy required for a REALLY active dog. It would be good for us though --- long walks for them means more exercise for us.

Shhhhhh....no I didn't. Don't tell anyone. There were too many leaves on the ground, I couldn't spot it.

I long for the day when my dogs are content with a walk to the mailbox! It's true though, having energetic dogs definitely gets you up and out when you otherwise wouldn't. In that way it's really good.

I was playing the vids in one room and my dog heard them from all the way across the house and came to investigate where there were other dogs in her domain.

Also, I might have played you saying "I don't think they will ever tire" a half a dozen times; I just love the way it sounds with your accent.

i love your vid posts! :) first of all, i love your accent. second, obviously, i've seen pics of you, but i love you on the video. :) third, i think it's great that you exercise your dogs. when dogs don't get exercised, they turn into menaces! some of the dogs in our neighborhood are awful!

I know that Francie and Jacques appreciate your efforts. Hopefully, they will reward you wiith love and good behavior. As you know, some people (who shall remain nameless) are not as diligent in providing exercise for their canine pals as you.

These were so fun to watch. I remember hearing you on an assignment you posted but I don't think I've ever actually heard & seen you simultaneously.

Every time I hear myself I think the same thing: "Do I really sound like that?" Only you sounded great - I sound stupid.

Haha, my dogs did the same thing. I wonder if they recognized that it was their barks that they were hearing.
