Note Merlin "conducting" with his tail, and Guinness giving the whole affair a big Ho-Hum yawn!

That was so great Karen! I think that is the first time ever we got to actually see a treat box being opened! Looks like they made out pretty good with the toys! Guinness cracked me up...is he not really into toys?

Loved it. Im gonna have to figure out how to get us in on that tweet box round sometime. Looks like all kinds of goodies. They seemed to immediately know it was for them. Great video.

Guinness, on toys: "Money spent to try to buy my affection - your point????"

Guinness, on playing fetch: "You throw it. If I retrieve it and give it to you, you throw it again. Where does this all end? No, thank you."

And of course they know there's stuff for them. Even I can smell the treats, and I'm a hooman!

Hey! watching all the action got me going too! It sure seems special to receive such fine looking treat boxes!! :thumb:

I was kind of worried with that big GINSU flashing around, opening the box,, my Dad was picking his jaw off the floor! :crazyeyes:

I'm happy for the herd!! :thumb: They look so good on the big screen!!!

Karen - There was a really neat toy in that box that I think would be excellent for my doxie's need to chew, but gentle on her teeth. I only saw it breifly, but if you could tell me where to get such a toy, I'm sure she'd be so appreciative. It appears to be made of felt, multi-coloured and constructed in a ball shape with "tails" hanging off it - just right for tossing across the livingroom for a game of chase! Any idea who makes it? Thanks - what happy puppers you got - do those tails ever stop?! I bet you save a bundle in air conditioning bills come summer time.

I AM INSPIRED TO GET THE VIDEO CAMERA OUT THIS WEEKEND!

Guiness looks very spry for his age! It looked like he took a tumble off the couch early in the video.

Ruth in MT · February 22, 2008, 10:29:53 AM

Grrrrrr .... I can't see the video ..... I can get the web site ... see Karen's info .... but can't get the video

......... I even signed up to YouTube

Does anybody know what I should do ? (I used to be able to see videos on this site ... now I can't)

TerriL · February 22, 2008, 10:42:21 AM

Thanks Karen! That is just great! I'm so glad they enjoyed the box... Guiness just cracks me up. I love it when he just ignores the giraffe that is thrown to him. Priceless!

Dee Dee and Hallie · February 22, 2008, 11:18:39 AM

That was so hilarious. The music makes it! Isn't it great to see your kids so happy about something, what a great treat box! Guiness definitely stole the show.

Guinness thinks he's a cat, but he's a little confused. Whenever I pick him up to put him down somewhere, he twists his body so that he ALWAYS lands upside down! On the video, he flipped himself out of my hand. Since he always has a sweater or jacket on, I usually pick him up by the back of the collar. That way he just twists himself around in the wind, but he ends up on the floor feet first.

He's 13 and he acts like he's three! I keep waiting for him to go down in his back (which he did once). There's just no stopping him!
