Haha! I love how when they first call him, he turns his head from side to side, trying to figure out what to do, before deciding that a wide u-turn is the best way to go.
BTW, Where the heck has Hon Glad been hiding himself for the past 2 weeks or so? Hey, Hon Glad! Whereya been? Are you making a drunken, underdressed nuisance and eyesore of yourself in Majorca or Crete or wone of those places where you Brits go to do just that?
Reporting for duty, Sirs and Ma’ams. I been wond’rin’ this same Puzzlement for, lo, these past three weeks or so. Perhaps someone can provide me with a Saint Bernard doggeh, with barrel of sustenance around his/ her huge neck for the journey….
[but then, with the current Airport Regulations, that might not "fly"....]
No need for a St Bernard in the UK at the moment, O NO. The UK is largely basking in wintry sunshine and above freezing temperatures, unlike you Peeps, I gather.
Hopefully, the Hon Glad is indeed cavorting pinkly* on the Costa del Sol, Tenerife, Majorca, The Dominican Republic, etc etc and other Brit-disporting areas – most of us are very well behaved, but the sun gets to us in the end.
Stay warm and safe, everybody.
* We always turn pink in the sun unless, like me, we swelter beneath factor 30 and a hat.
*whiiiiiiine* Can he come over here and bring his warm weather with him?? I don’t like being iced in anymore!! My mom took my car and I’m stuck inside, and I don’t wanna take a walk for fear of breaking my neck, and I hate the treadmill, and it’s COLD outside, and… and… and…..
Actually, his name is Gonzo…… Y’know, like the muppet. It’s in the video title. (Yes, Meg spelled it Gozo. Prolly cuz You can’t really hear the “N” when they’re saying his name.)
If we had knelt down to see the expression on his face, this is what we would have seen:
“And now, I am going to go roll on their pillows. Make me struggle through the snow for your enjoyment, will you??”
My comment appears to be trapped in moderation purgatory… was it the jabberwoky referrence? I promise that “galumphing” is not a bad word *sniffle sniffle*
I sure that was it. After all we must think of the children – first they see the word jabberwoky and then it is just a slippery slope to depravity on skid row.
*dramatically clasps hands to chest* Whatever was I thinking subjecting those poor innocent children to such madness? What kind of indecent soul would dare to expose a child to Lewis Carroll?! The inhumanity of it all!!!
Aaaghhhhh!…
…
wait a minute…
…
Sarcasm, thy name is puppy lumpkins!
Actually, the guy does say “See if he’ll do it again”. When I heard that I thought ‘well, that’s a little mean.’ First time is funny and cute, after that it starts getting a little mean.
Not to nuff or anything because, had I a dog, I would probably do it once myself…
; >
My spoiled husky is doing the same… Three good hops out the door, and a quick reverse. We got 16 inches of snow in Tulsa (which is like several feet to those who are used to the fluffy stuff). She doesn’t like her tummy dragging in the snow, and it is too powdery to walk on top of it.
whenever i see a little dog trying so hard, i think of this little news short from The Onion years ago “Dog Trying Its Absolute Hardest”. So true of the little dog…:
My little girl Trixie does this. She’s like a tank rumbling through the snow. Except it’s a tank that has a bad front tread and so she makes a giant arc around instead of a straight line there and back.
Little threadjack here: pray for all the poor animals caught in the massive storms. Pray for all the shelter workers who have gone the extra mile to get into work or to animals that need help. Finally, pray for those who’ve taken in an animal needing relief from this awful weather.
Ok peeps, glasses up for the shelter workers, the animal clinic workers, and the folks who work at the zoos taking care of their critters!! *holds up coffee cup* A big SALUTE to ye all!!!!
Manners, please. I was just imagining what fun it would be to see your little doggerpiller ooching through the snow on Cute Overload and seeing all the squees of the commenters. Suddenly getting hit with a mean personal comment would really bring that mood down.
Agreed. Don’t people realize that the people that they’re being mean to are possibly reading these comments too? Why would you want to hurt the feelings of another human being when they’ve done us the favor of sharing the love and joy they feel for their beautiful pet?
It’s the Cute Effect. Highly scientific enquiries have shown that within a 6 foot radius (physical or virtual) of something cute, a human’s voice will rise 2.34 octaves. And for pupsicles, voices have been known to rise up to 3.17 octaves.
Yay!!!! This is my cousin Beth’s dog! I told her to submit the video to CO!! PS – I saw someone up there said the name was misspelled, no, his name is actually Gozo!
And for the people that said watch the mean comments, I appreciate it. I was going to show my cousin that her video got on CO, but I’m not going to now because the mean comments about her voice would hurt her feelings (she is very petite and the sweetest girl you’ve ever met, she is just naturally excited all the time!).
I didn’t even need the sound on to hear his teeny tiny “ehn, ehn, ehn” as he went gallumphing through the snow!
http://cutethingsinpaint.blogspot.com/2011/02/get-your-thyroids-checked-kids.html
Tiny puppies in the snow, always good for a “Squeeeeee!”
Obvy a “learner” pup – cannot reverse, cannot make sharp turns.
Haha! I love how when they first call him, he turns his head from side to side, trying to figure out what to do, before deciding that a wide u-turn is the best way to go.
And yes, I realize that was run-on.
Actually, it looks pretty grammatical to me. And I’m a geek. I have a favorite verb tense and everything.
Wow. I thought *I* had Grammar Geek Cred.
I bow to your obvious Superior Theoretical Platform.
Me too! Conditional subjunctive ROCKS!
LoL You guys crack me up.
LOVE this puppy!
Hahahaha I love you people.
Mine is future anterior. Cause it’s kind of a past tense/future tense hybrid.
Conditional subjunctive is kind of scary. 0_0
I wonder if he beeps when he goes in reverse?
I think it’s more “Stand by to tack to starboard!”
HA!
So extra furry – thank goodness!!
BTW, Where the heck has Hon Glad been hiding himself for the past 2 weeks or so? Hey, Hon Glad! Whereya been? Are you making a drunken, underdressed nuisance and eyesore of yourself in Majorca or Crete or wone of those places where you Brits go to do just that?
I think we need to send Leslie on a search and rescue mission.
*raises hand*

*groan*
I’ve been wondering where the heck he is too.
No need for a St Bernard in the UK at the moment, O NO. The UK is largely basking in wintry sunshine and above freezing temperatures, unlike you Peeps, I gather.

* We always turn pink in the sun unless, like me, we swelter beneath factor 30 and a hat.
*ahem* I would like to request pictures of this aforementioned “cavorting”… *evil grin*
Zinc cream and a handkerchief hat!
… and boots and socks below rolled up heavy serge trousers, a la Monty Python.
@Storm, no you wouldn’t. We’re not graceful cavorters, sad to say. In the unaccustomed sun, the alcohol goes to our heads in 0.3 of a nano-second.
*whiiiiiiine* Can he come over here and bring his warm weather with him?? I don’t like being iced in anymore!! My mom took my car and I’m stuck inside, and I don’t wanna take a walk for fear of breaking my neck, and I hate the treadmill, and it’s COLD outside, and… and… and…..
Cute puppy. White snow. *falls over*
I’m sorry about the above comment, but I haven’t gotten outside for days now and I’M GOING CRAZY!!!
Just look at the puppy. Happy puppy. Puppy makes you laugh…….
¡Qué gozo él tiene! (Translation: What joy he has!)
Anerable lil bundle… I wondered if he was about to etch a heart in the snow with his pathway. *Ahn.*
Somehow, this latest remake of To Build a Fire, starring Gozo as The Dog, just doesn’t have the same suspense as London’s short story.
gizmo, London should have re-named his story “To Fetch A Duck.”
I only wish he had . . .
Actually, his name is Gonzo…… Y’know, like the muppet. It’s in the video title. (Yes, Meg spelled it Gozo. Prolly cuz You can’t really hear the “N” when they’re saying his name.)

“And now, I am going to go roll on their pillows. Make me struggle through the snow for your enjoyment, will you??”
Dash, I totally agree…in fact, I’ll bet he’s pooping inside their shoes RIGHT NOW!!!
I would have to support him in that. Poop away, small sir!
Oh my god
He is like a single molecule of pup~

Galumph galumph!
Ok, throw it again, see if he goes again……;)

Also from the Snowpocolypse files, there have been reports of penguins tubing in Connecticut.
Haha! I like the link in the comments: http://www.flixxy.com/pet-penguin-goes-shopping.htm
I know! I love that video of the penguin shopping for fish.
I love this. You could already tell he was wee, but when he came inside and his mama took the toy I nearly fell over from the prosh teeneyness!!
Well, the toy is several times his size!
It seems like one toss was enough for this little guy. I’m tired out just from watching him work his way through the mounds of snow!
Nothing so cruel as making a pup-morsel swim through snow drifts!
I love this. Just the pick me up I needed today.
this qualifies as the definition of ehn ehn ehn ehn. yay!
That is not a dog. That is their pet inchworm.
But he didn’t go “deedledeedledeedledeedle”!
Today’s Sesame Street brought to you by the letter “o” in snow (spelled out by cute leetle puppy feet)!
what kind of dog is this? LOVE!
Yorkie? I’d hafta look again to be sure.
LOL the look on the pupster’s face when he finally makes it back inside with his toy!
He’s thinking:
- You throw it again lady and you can fetch it yourself!
*snerk*
lol
My spoiled husky is doing the same… Three good hops out the door, and a quick reverse. We got 16 inches of snow in Tulsa (which is like several feet to those who are used to the fluffy stuff). She doesn’t like her tummy dragging in the snow, and it is too powdery to walk on top of it.
Did you inform S.H. of
the traditional involvement of Huskies and “la neige” aka snow????
best effort by a pup since… corgi flop!!!

I love determined dogs.

Amen.
Ok peeps, glasses up for the shelter workers, the animal clinic workers, and the folks who work at the zoos taking care of their critters!! *holds up coffee cup* A big SALUTE to ye all!!!!
And to the foster peeps, who take care of the critters in theirs homes! *holds up mug of water since I’ve already finished my coffee for the day!*
Cheers! And great point may I add.
Had to mute the video. As cute as the dog was, the doggie mommy’s high pitched yapping made me want to light myself on fire.
OMG, lol!!! And I haven’t even watched the clip with sound yet.. Not sure I will!
Watching the little dog I was just hoping his heart would be strong enough.. But it’s cute as hell! Cold hell! (:
Okay, I just DID watch with the sound on and ………………………………… *myeeeeeeeeeeears!*

I love how he stops and takes a lick at the snow he’s tracked in! “Ooo, what’s this cold, wet stuff?”
Please tell me that Duck is named “Camilla”.
My rabbit took one look out the back door, sneezed once, and ran back down the hall and under the couch!
Who needs a shovel when you’ve got a yorkie?
Caution: puppeh makes wide right turns.
Peeps? I can’t see the video- can someone post a link?
Than you!
Snow angels are just so passe….
For 2011 the in thing is SNOW BALLOONS!!!!
Yay!!!! This is my cousin Beth’s dog! I told her to submit the video to CO!! PS – I saw someone up there said the name was misspelled, no, his name is actually Gozo!
