SKATING ... NEW UGGIE MOVIE-DOG LINKS :o)))

that's really good, what a clever dog and it really looks like it enjoys it all too.. :-))

Yes a good one, been around a while but enjoyed another look

Yes... clever dogs, enjoying themselves... :o)))

love this Terra, had to watch it again hahaah, so well trained but can see the dog loves it all :o))

Hi Sandra..
Yes, it's the same when I do trick routines etc. with my dogs... so important that the dogs love doing it all :o)

That put a wee smile on my face TT :)

Hi Scottish ..
Just something cheery on a wintry day !

Glad it made you smile. :o)))

I need it today TT! Although I think I got off lightly when it comes to wind damage!!
At least my house is still in tact!

Certainly gave me and OH a laugh TT,... they're so good! :o)

yes your right Terra and must take alot of patients when first learn anything, it amazing me to watch them, i really dont think a dog would do it if they didnt enjoy.

Hi Franny .... yes ...so versatile ...
... speedy on water, snow and land !

Sandra, the trouble I have with Truffle is that he is OVER-enthusiastic ... tows things across my lounge and crashes into all my furniture ...Lol.

Brilliant ... just the thing to see on this dreary day ... the final shots made me smile the most! ... :o)

Hi Shirley ..
Glad you enjoyed it.
The footage is well filmed isn't it :o)))

lol Terra can just picture that haha, like a excited child :o))

Excellent - better than I could do!!! Should be in the 'dog'olympics!!!

That is so clever he realy loves doing it especilly the rollerboard the way he moves from side to side .hehe :))))))))))))))))))))))))

Ah we needed spirits lifting today! :) brilliant

Brilliant TT. what a laugh, those doggies are so enjoying their play time. Great find.

Thanks TT that was fun I swear they were laughing :o)

LOL ! I haven't laughed so much in ages :D I've got a pain in my side and tears in my eyes now LOL ! :D
That's just what you need on a dark morning like this :o)))))

Lol.
Isn't it nice watching dogs have so much FUN :o)))

Yes it is :o) Maybe I'll buy myself a surfboard this summer lol

Don't forget to let Blodyn have a try on the surfboard ;o)

This is brilliant TT - it's amazing to see just how much they enjoy it all, swaying from side to side !!

I do hope all is well with you Goyers as it's quite worrying reading all your comments about the dradful weather ....xxxx

Hi Terry60 ...
Glad you like the film. Lol.

In the UK this kind of thing helps to keep us going through the stormy weather ! This week, the best advice is to stay home unless a journey is really necessary, but it was "back to work" day yesterday for many folk, so they had no choice but to brave the gales and heavy rain ! xxx

that is so funny! what a clever dog, i loved the skateboarding bit best:-)) i could watch it again and again and again

Hi Dawn... Great isn't it ! :o)
The dog is clever to steer, and to get up speed by using the back foot ...

Really funny I love the way they scoot the board to get up speed before getting on it ,they look as they they are enjoying it tremendously

Hi Amy...
yes, the way the dogs gain speed is amazing ...
and great to see their enthusiasm :o)

LOL. Brilliant!

Hello Digginfit...
I'm pleased you enjoyed this... Lol. :o)))

Brill really enjoyed that he's a clever dog is'nt he.

Hi Clarice...
It's a fantastic film isn't it ... :o)))

Hilarious! I can't imagine Millie doing anything like this - she tires after 5 minutes of playing 'throw' and has to take a 2 hour nap :)

Hi again, TT, forgot to say - Poppy laid an egg this morning :(

Hello Gee ...
I reckon body weight and shape and leg-length must all be in proportion for dogs to be able do this ....

It would be difficult for Dachshunds, or long-legged dogs, or long-coated breeds... :o)

Hi again Gee ...
Well done Poppy... but Poppy please note ..

... with our fuel bills coming in ...
... golden eggs would be especially welcome. ;o)

I've been following some advice regarding trying to stop the egg laying and I really thought it had worked. I am so afraid she will wear herself out! If only they were golden eggs...... :)

Maybe the advice has at least reduced the number of eggs Poppy produces ... that should be of help ...

Feed her carrots .. to produce carats ;o)

Brilliant TT, certainly brought a smile to our faces, lovely to see the dogs really enjoying themselves.

Wow like you say what a lot of fun and what a clever dog, he is obviously loving every minute;0)))

Thanks for that Tt:-) I never thought of bulldogs as particularly intelligent or active come to that...how wrong you can be!:-)

Lol...That dog's got better balance than me!

Me too \0/ wheeeeeeee:-)

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee/crash/bang/Woooooooooooops

Yes, it's great to see dogs having fun...
... I think Bulldogs are helped with balance by having a low centre of gravity ... ;o)

Mine's quite low too TT ;O))))))))

Hi Annella ..
too much information ;o)))

I'm not so much amazed at the bulldogs balancing abilities as at his grasp of what makes the board move, his steering ability and his obvious enjoyment...I'm still nonplussed! :-)

I've added to Uggie links to the main part of this blog.

It's easier that way ..

...just click on the UGGIE links near the top of the page.

Terra you wicked woman...I clicked on Uggie links (isn't he fantastic and a parson!) and I've spent hours looking at beagle puppies and other cute and talented animals...the day's gone lol. I'll probably have a look tomorrow too:-)) I wonder if you could put something on youtube that we could watch? I'm sure someone could help you do it and we could watch the boys perfoming:-)

I fell into the same trap BA! I used to have a Beagle and later on two King Charles, such funny puppies ;o)

Yesterday Conker was having fun performing tricks at the garden centre ...

... I had tried to pick a quiet moment, just to entertain the woman at the till, but as soon as Conker started, a crowd appeared, and Conker got lots of applause... Lol.
I took a few photos ... not a video ..

Annella .. did you teach the Beagle and CKCS ?

So, Ba ...you got hooked on the doggie tricks Youtubes..
there are some wonderful ones out there :o)

They were all very intelligent and entertaining dogs but Velvet the Beagle had a mind of her own and refused to do anything she wasn't interested in. She would lay on the settee when she was older and stretch out if anyone tried to join her, giving that 'don't even think about it' look! Lol
Lovely dog, she lived to the grand old age of 19. Willy (a rescue dog who was already named!) & Barney just practised the 'cute' look but were very well trained. All gone now but never forgotten x

Oh, lovely memories of your doggies, Annella. Velvet is a wonderful name for a Beagle ! and 19 is an amazing age... you must have looked after her very well, including supplying the right size settee. Lol.

Well done you on taking rescue dogs. Cavaliers are DEFINITELY cute :o))) x

I think Willy was eternally grateful TT, such a loving little friend. He did sulk for a while when Barney came along at 9 weeks old but they became best buddies and looked like a matching pair in the end :0))

That's a great achievement ... to bring on a rescued dog so well that people couldn't tell the difference between Willy and Barney, and the fact that Willy was the one who had experienced an unsettled start in life ... :o))

Mum, mil and myself used to take turns holiday dog sitting so kennels were rarely needed. I remember good fun times looking after a beagle (Velvet), miniture long haired daschund (Rusty...my mum's), Blue rhone cocker spaniel (Shalley......Kennel club name was Shalimar the goddess etc etc, mum in law's) & 2 King Charles (Willy & Barney) in my very small cottage! Rusty the sausage was very old so I used to put him in a large cardboard box to give him a bit of peace from the 'others' running around. Bless him, he lived to be 20 years old. Not sure how I coped now! Lol x

Well, Annella, you seem very good at getting dogs to live long and happy lives, so you were definitely doing something right ! :o) x

Love these dogs, my grandson always finds them to show to me, gives one a really good laugh, cannot however see Brynner or Morgan ever getting a starring role, lol..

Lol. Lincslass ...
Brynner and Morgan ... both on the skateboard at the same time... trying to travel in different directions.. ;o)
