This Dog Was Clearly Offended

I guess this German Shepard was offended by the “No Dog Allowed” sign?

Bunnies, Bunnies Everywhere!

herman-the-giant-bunnyMy wife loves bunny rabbits. Don’t get me wrong, I like them too, but she really, really loves them. We used to have a pet rabbit for 5 years. He was great, and his name was Casey. Casey the friendly fat bunny.

Anyway, I came across these amusing bunny videos, and decided to share them. Mainly for my wife… but you guys can watch them too. ;-) By the way, that photo there is Herman the giant german bunny. He has his own MySpace page and over 1,500 friends! Which makes him much more popular than me.

Video: A Day in the Life of a Dog

Lazy DogI don’t know how many of you are “dog people”, but I sure am.

I’ve got two special little girls, one of whom is a Greyhound mix. When I go to work I leave them to roam around the house all day, and sometimes I wonder what they do.

Well, this video pretty much clears up that question. All I can say is, it’s nice to be a dog.

My Happy Puppies

Lexi, Sandy, and the ball

This morning I was hanging out with my little girls in the back yard and snapped a few pics. Some are so cute, I just had to share…

PS – If you select any photo it will take you to a medium-sized one, and then if you want more detail you can select that one to see a large one.

Oh, and here is my brother Kirk’s dog, and my brother in law Jason’s dogs (well, they aren’t all there…).

Lexi and Sandy Lounging Around the Kitchen

Sandy and LexiI’m in Houston at the moment, so I thought I’d post this little clip of my two dogs Lexi and Sandy that I took hanging out in the kitchen in case I ever want to check it out again while I’m on the road.

Lexi is the German Shepard who keeps wandering back and forth. Even though it looks like she’s excited about the camera, she is really just looking for a light or a reflection or a laser or something to come out of it. She loves to chase things around!

Sandy on the other hand is the lazy Greyhound laying on the floor. Of course, we love them both and they are the greatest canine companions ever.

The World’s Coolest Automated Ball Launcher for Dogs

Ball Launcher for DogsOk. I saw like 5 seconds of this this clip on Cali and Neal’s GeekBrief.TV and then did a YouTube search to find the original video.

From the description:

I built the ball machine because I thought my dog Jerry, might like it and that it would be something fun for me to build. So after two years of on and off work, with many safety features such as IR proximity sensors to protect Jerry and my son from the machine, I finally complete.

Far from being a replacement for me, I was always right there with him enjoying his fun. And with all the troubles that I went through to build the ball machine, I still end up throwing more balls than that the machine could count! According to the computer, he played with the machine by himself only 3 times in his life.

I recently put this video on YouTube to keep alive my earlier memories of him and (hopefully) provide some “humorous distractions” for anyone that might drop by.

XeliaI’ve got quite a smorgasborg of random links for you guys today. Hope you enjoy!

7 of the Most Amazing Dogs You’ll Ever See

Mesmerized PuppysI’m a dog lover. I’ve got two fantastic little girls myself (that’s them in the photo), Sandy and Lexi. And although we love them like they were our own children, they’ve certainly never done anything to garner the type of attention that the dogs in the following videos have.

We’ve got everything from a dog that walks on two legs, to one that rides a skateboard… a dog that dances like John Travolta, and one that attacks on command. Take a look at these animals and you’ll have to admit they are even more talented than most children!

Those Crazy Fainting Goats

Fainting GoatsThere is a specific breed of goat that “faints” whenever it gets startled. It is a breed of domestic goat whose external muscles freeze for roughly 10 seconds when the goat is startled.

Though painless, this generally results in the animal collapsing on its side with the side effect of everyone around laughing their asses off.
The characteristic is caused by a hereditary genetic disorder called myotonia congenita. Older goats sometimes learn to lean against something to prevent their falling over, and often they continue to run about in an awkward, stiff-legged shuffle.
