At training camp this week, US rookie Floyd Bleaarrghth is making progress in the sock-catching event, but still has a long way to go to beat the current record-holder, Sven Stuffem of Ikeastan.

Cute Overload :D
Awww, so cute! You can tell this fur-baby is a happy and well-loved doggy…(-:
Someone has to say it… “Sock it to me!”
<3 ^oo^!
Also, he’s not a crook.
YAY LAUGH IN
So THAT’S where all my missing socks went!
World Pup Socker star
How does she do it??? I stand in awe.
As do we awe-ll
As usual, Oakley FTW
Lab’s are so endearing
I always think that they’re just humoring us with their intelligence and can take over the show at any point, they just choose not to, afterall, they have us trained so well hehe.
Actually it’s a golden retriever
lol, I really like the sideye at the camera at :01. He looks like he’s saying, “Sigh… here we go again…”
I thought he was checking to make sure the cameraperson was ready to record his awesomeness.
$%^%&^&$#$**() moderation! What the &&%^%%%&^&^?!
Just have a seat skippymom, I’l make you a nice valium and vodka and banana smoothie.
Thank you, Gigi, but could you make that with gin instead of vodka?
Here you go skippymom a nice gin gimlet. Now put up your feet and wait for the modbot to come to it’s senses and let you out.
i watched it again. thanks ceejoe for pointing that out, Hilarious
Put 6 socks in it!
Puppers doesn’t look all the enthusiastic about playing this game. He’s all kind of “what I have to go through to get my kibbles”.
It was cute & amusing at the six socks mark, after that it goes sharply downhill ;( .
Not saying it was “cruel” or “mean” or such trolling nonsense (it is just socks and the owners obviously meant nothing by it). Just saying it could have stopped at six or seven socks.
I hope those socks are clean… Just sayin’
Doggie would probably prefer the other way!
YUCKYYYYY !!!!
That looks like something my two-year old would “play” with our cats (if only they would cooperate!). What a patient, handsome furbaby.
BTW, I woke up this morning with a completely random thought. I kind of hope that there is a post on CO that leads me to clutch my pearls. I need a good pearl clutching, good heavens kind of post.
Somehow, “pearl-clutching” sounds like an euphemism for something – I am just not sure what…
It sure does, and I thought about that as I was typing my message.
I think that the thought was brought to me when my son (2 years old and not quite fluent in English…although he could talk gibberish all day long if you asked him) was playing that he was falling out of bed. I could hear from his bedroom. “Oh noooo! Falling!” I would call back things like “What? You fell? That’s terrible!” In response, he said (for the first time that I’ve ever heard him), “Tare bull!”
It’s fun realizing what phrases are said excessively in our home. “Oh, no!” “All right.” “Okay.” and “That’ll work” are all said by my son with great regularity, and I know he learned it from us. Sadly, I have not taught him to say “Sweet Sassafras,” but not for lack of trying on my part.
Oh, but the point I was trying to make was – his “TARE bull!” made me think of CO and pearl-clutching…but not in a dirty way, if you know what I mean.
Just wait… “sweet sassafras” and MANY others will pop out at the grocery store, at Grandma’s house, at the doctor’s office, etc. That’s a pretty tough string of sibilants for a two year old to produce but he’ll get it eventually. I may adopt that one for my own use; now I rely on Italian.
The Pearl was an…indelicate magazine in the Victorian era. Just sayin…
hahaaha check out the next post, then, Rosie!
It sure is nice having help when putting away a big load of washing !
Why do my socks always feel damp when I get them out of my drawer?
*giggle*
My lab used to love to catch stuff, but he wouldn’t give any sign when he was done catching. You’d toss, and he’d just close his eyes and let it hit him in the face. :C
He’d also use my socks to clean his esophagus. Like, he’d chew one until it was all squishy, partially swallow it, then put his paw on the end sticking out of his mouth and pull it back out. Mom tried to get him to stop because she was afraid he’d swallow one (and also it’s hard on socks). He just did it where she couldn’t see him (god only knows where he found the socks).
One day her fears were realized: he swallowed one. There wasn’t any expensive surgery or even a vet visit, though. We didn’t even know about it until we found a pooey sock in the back yard. Hooray, labs.
Um, “clean his esophagus”?
That’s a thing that some yoga practitioners do, actually. Vastra Dhauti.
vastra dhauti ?????
Ok, I lol’d at the tossed item hitting him in the face, then I
‘d at the pooey sock story. Man, I love you people…
There was a horse at the barn who used to do the same kind of thing with the cotton lead rope, if you left one hanging on his stall door. VERY disconcerting, the first time you saw it. And I never did quite get used to it.
*snerk*ing at (or with) victoreia
My Francesco is known as the Sock Fiend. He goes crazy for socks, whether I’m wearing them or just holding a sock near him. He makes an insane beast face and fights with the sock with all his hands and feet. If I’m willing, we can sock fight for twenty minutes or so. He’s also been known to remove socks from the clean laundry basket and to move mittens around the house.
Dog’s thought process:
“Sighhhhh….no, no, human, please. I live to serve your little delusions of “fun” and “happiness”….sighhhhh…..my mouth tastes like lycra cotton blend….sighhhh….I can go on no longer….just keep throwing your little illusions of meaning……sighhhhh….I must lay down under the weighty burden of foot tubes and ennui…..”
Ahhh, my first time in Mod Lounge! Got any peppermint bark?
No?
Sighhhhh….ennui….

This would be a perfect Sesame Street segment, brought to you by the number 6. Yay, 6!
I love how the socks keep coming at the end after the doggeh has collapsed to the floor.
What is it with waiting for moderation. Some people have no sense of humor.
or appreciation for sarcasm, apparently.
banging loudly on bars of Mod Lounge window
Joining in
Confused.
I feel bad now.
I’m still confused.
And I’m still in %&^*$%&*&R$$ moderation, where I’ve been for almost four &^$#%%&&* hours.
&^&$%*($^%$$
Now that I’ve given up the poop theme, I think cursing will be my new thing. Yeah.
Sharpy must be taking a really long break today.
*%&^#&*%%#^*(&*&** Sharpy.
Well geez, I guess you really ticked her off now!
“Six? ‘Kay, I’m done.”
This is totally socking!
I cannot BARE anymore of it.
I’ve had labs, and I’ve had golden retrievers, and I’m pretty sure that’s an elderly golden retriever. With a LOT of patience.
I wondered about that, but – not having ever had a lab or retriever – I was worried about saying something.
This is making me think of my dear departed Oscar, whom I once started stacking socks upon after doing laundry. He patiently awaited while I laid several socks across his back. When I was done, he looked at me like, “Well, I’m warm. Thanks.”
Golden retrievers = love. They also have perfected the “long-suffering” look, which is in evidence several times during this vid.
that’s pawesome
Sock it to me Goldie ! Hyuk hyuk, Hyuk !!!
Cracked me up…..especially the socks on his face when he was done…he didnt seem to mind a bit…..very cute.
