Although my motivations may appear inscrutable, nothing puts fire under my ass like someone saying, "where the hell are you!?"
You may, of course, regret your rash question once you've reviewed all I've got on offer here today-- this video was taken this morning. I didn't add any music because I thought you should hear the stillness-- unfortunately, the blue jays, as blue jay are wont to do-- chose to punctuate the quiet with a discussion of who was hogging the sunflower seed and other scintiallating blue jay topics of note.
In anticipation of your questions:
1. Yes, the collars on Henry and Olliver are electronic, but since training them we have never had to use them-- they are there to save their lives. If you don't know the long saga of Henry and Oliver's escapades, you'll just have to take my word for it. And, I have put them up against my own neck, and given what I've experienced just to have a cavity filled, I assure you, this is no issue. It is a deterrent. Do I wish we had trained them correctly in the first place? Why no-- spoiled, untrained dogs are all I've ever wanted.
2. Is Henry motivated by biscuits and only by biscuits? Of course not, he is also intent on getting the best position on the bed to snuggle with you. Those are his two main pursuits in life.
3. Would it have been possible for me to jiggle the camera anymore than I did? You know, could I truly create a sense of motion sickness? Next time? I'll try harder--

Marin says: Have you ever put those booties on their feet that are supposed to protect their paws in the snow, etc.? If you ever need comedic relief, try it. posted on: March 11

Bombay Beauty says: Love the stillness - by this what I mean is the absence of the background hum that permeates my soul living in NY and Boston - reminds me of some walks we would take growing up (the Canadian portion of the childhood...) BB posted on: March 11
