    I, on the other hand, think I am strong because I survived the soft cushions. :P

  3. Mel says:

    I believe this is the best trained dog ever.

    Also, Oolong has a run for his (late and great) money

    patient doggeh is patient….

  5. Mina says:

    If I tried that with my cat and Feline Greenies, I’d be sporting some serious mauling wounds.

  6. Pinchy says:

    Color me impressed…

  7. Shaz says:

    OMG. I agree with Mel above — best-trained dog ever, and how sweet is that! Also, note the fact that the dog is obedient AND skilled — if he stayed still to keep that whole thing balanced…

  8. T.U.M. says:

    I need that dog to be my diet coach.

  9. Alice Shortcake says:

    I love the oh-so-gentle blinking. Mustn’t dislodge the treats with those fluttering eyelashes!

    What a good dog!

    But is anyone else reminded of the Far Side cartoon where the guy’s making the dog balance a treat on his nose and the dog is thinking, “I’m gonna kill him”?

  11. Blanche says:

    Impressive…………however,
    I do that for myself on our *Eclair Saturdays*
    I’m up to 10 stacked. Beat that!

  12. Marie says:

    Cruel and so awesome!

    Poor baby!!!! And yet he seems to love…something about it. Lol!

  13. Jenn says:

    best NOM sound at the end. hahaha

  14. solandra says:

    it’s that thing, where his boss says “Get it!” and then he *gets all the bones…* I mean, really, twenty milkbonez for 16 seconds of work? Where can I sign up?? GOOD DOGGIE!!

  15. Wow, I couldn’t resist eating a treat for that long!

  16. Cara says:

    Now I’d like to see the video before this video. The one that explains how the tower of treats got there. Please?

  17. Countess says:

    Wow. That’s so amazing, I’m completely amazed. The discipline. The quite stillness. The googly eyes.

  18. emmberrann says:

    Those are not googly eyes! They are focussing with zen-like intensity on the inner chi to enable the …… drat! Oh, well, treats! Wotta good doggie!

  19. Q_chan says:

    I think this pup has probably learned to associate “longer wait” with “MORE TREATS!!”

  20. I Said Sit says:

    Always great to see new dog tricks. This takes the whole balance a treat on your nose to a whole new level!

  21. ^oo^ says:

    Crewel. All that saliva running down the goggies throat…

  22. tom says:

    good doggie!

  23. I Haz a Funny Bone says:

    But, but… how many noms did he get out of that whole tower? I hope enough to make it worthwhile! Good, patient goggie! :)

  24. Johna Klym says:

    most amazing, disciplined, skilled pup evar.

  25. blair says:

    i totally yayed when he got to get it

  26. kim says:

    MAD SKILLZ – the goggie and the owner. It only took me four years to train my beagle to balance one of those on his schnozz.

  27. snowy2 says:

    Now that’s delayed gratification.

  28. Dawn says:

    I wouldn’t have the patience to be the STACKER, let alone the stackEE.

    What an amazing canine friend!
