Oh my dog, that was amazing. And the At-At at the end made me laugh so hard I nearly cried. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to share it with my own “Schnozz.”
Did you mean to say “maybe we should have tested it on HUMANS first?” Erm, that makes more sense to me, because we all know animal-testing is bad, right? When it’s just for a shampoo? Oh, and BOING! And I agree, where’s Bea?
dog is so filled with joy to have pleased his man…man must be teaching working dog something useful to man…but what?…please explain…(btw i think this explains very nicely why humans became bipedal on the savannnah – gotta see where yer goin’ eh – and where the lions are comin’ from…)
This pup needs some Ritalin! I know some kids with this kind of energy.
But this video brings back a funny childhood memory — when I lived on the family farm as a kid, my sister and I wrote a note to the neighbors telling them to keep their dogs out of our wheat field because it was destroying the crops! They had Great Danes and they were trampling down the grain by running around in the field. We heard our parents talking about it, so we took matters into our own hands. And when the neighbors read the note, which we left for them in their bedroom and then were stupid enough to hang out, as usual, with their six kids, down at their barnyard, my mom showed up and marched us back home threatening us with a two-by-four! Must have been quite a site!
You may not want to know the answer to that question. And the reality of life for the momma is sad. Having warned everyone, this link is very informative.
My mother-in-law’s dog used to do the same thing when we went to the lake… until one time she forgot about the boat slip and went “boing-boing-splut”. No animals were harmed in the making of this memory.
I used to do this with my dog…toss pebbles into field to get her to chase and bounce… Found out she was finding the rocks, and swallowing them… She nearly obstructed and had to have surgery to remove one. No more rocks after that. Be careful!
Am in tears, but in a good way. Memories of growing up surrounded by wheatfields and my awesome dog Blazer. (O the things that I have seen, that I now can see no more…) But Blazer still visits me in my dreams, and now he can talk to me! (In my dreams. He gives me advice about dating and work…mostly he tells me who I can trust! and you KNOW I believe him!) Anyway. One day I shall be surrounded by wheatfields again…and have a dog…sigh. Thanks for this joyous post.
Where can I get a case of this stuff!?!
“and I’ll tell two friends…and they’ll tell two friends…ansd so on…and so on…”
Nice. I remember that one.
I’l have what he’s having…. Oh, and… Where’s Bea!!!???
*delighted giggle*
*shakes pompoms for Bea, for tanguera and for the Doggeh*
I wondered where those pompoms got to!
Bea? (Sproing, sproing, sproing……!!)
A pup? Surely you jest. That’s obviously a kangaroo.
or a springtail. or a springtoe.
watching that happy pup puts a huge smile on my face
mine too!!!
I giggled through the whole thing
I approach my Wednesdays with equal vigor and enthusiasm. Don’t we all? SPROING SPROING SPROING!!!!
Sorree, BC…… I dint see your Sproings……;
Field studies: advancing our knowledge of Cute by leaps and bounds.
Niiiiice!
i’m feeling sick today and this brought a smile to my face. thank you co!
Nobody does pure joy like a dog. I only wish I had about 1% of his energy.
My dogs do that at the dog park when they aren’t sure where the ball went – it cracks me up everytime, they look like kangaroos!
oooh!ooh! have y’all seen the new volkswagen commercial?!

drove Miss Schnozz absolutely bonkers when it came on
Oh my snot! It took me practically the whole video to realize that it WAS a Star Wars ad! I kept thinking, “That one dog looks like an Ewok!”
And the AT-AT costume at the end!!
That almost killt me with laughter! Thanks for the link.
And I love this goggie–he’s outstanding in his field?
Oh my dog, that was amazing. And the At-At at the end made me laugh so hard I nearly cried. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to share it with my own “Schnozz.”
Methinks the AT-AT at the end was the same one with the winningest pet costume of all time…..
*headdesk* Link fail……

*crosses fingers that it actually LINKS!*
You know….I dont think there is a person anywhere who can say that dogs DON’T know how to live life exuberantly and to the fullest!!!
Very appropriate music. So bouncing in the fields to a dog is like swing dancing is to humans – pure joy!
Dog + Big Field = Unbridled JOY!!!
(a la Animaniacs:) Boing-y! Boing-y! Boing-y!
Pure Awesomeness!!! =)

Mercy. We have so much to learn from the critters about enjoying the simple things.
oh so cute and immediately reminded me to go watch ‘dalmation in snow’ on the tube of you.
Lurken-sproinging … has gone to the dogs.
Be sure and check for foxtails.
OH, thank Ceiling Cat CO is back! My long national nightmare is over!
PS Reminded of old Far Side cartoon, with the kangaroos: “Just jump, you fool! You don’t have to say ‘Boing boing boing’!”
I’m thinking Huntaway/Gazelle cross? Maybe with a side of SPRINGbok? (I’m sorry, couldn’t help it.)
Sorry about the thread jack but I just found this & knew it belonged here.
I call it : “Octopi Seattle 50,000 times”
Beautiful!! Thanks for the link!! I wonder how many of these babies will survive and become as big as their momma!

I do so love the unabashed joy of dog!
This sproingy dog is obviously the result of secret government labs genetic experiments, crossing a dog with a gazelle!
Makes ultimate sense to me.
Pretty much what I thought. The rare, elusive Dogalope, finally caught on tape!
Any relation to the jackolope?
The one will chase the other. But never capture.
My mother-in-law’s dog used to do the same thing when we went to the lake… until one time she forgot about the boat slip and went “boing-boing-splut”. No animals were harmed in the making of this memory.
This made me so happy!
And that, my friends, is what we call “unbridled enthusiasm.”
absoRUTEry.
Hey Scooby!
Oh, Lord, please give me just a tiny bit of that enthusiasm . . .
Oh Joy! Oh Rapture! A field of tall grass! Mine…all mine!!!!
And I shall bound, bound like zee gazelle!
Was having a sad day – but not now. JOY!

how weird. reading this is sort of like finding and swallowing a rock. i’ll return to sproinging through the fjords.

aaaand this is how Kangaroos evolved….
Oh! The housework
I could conquer
with that energy.
(today about all I can muster is enough to keep my eyes open)
I’ve just tried watching it for the 5th time without smiling. Epic fail!
Get the gun, ma, that kangaroo’s in the corn again!
I keed, I keed
In my former life I was a GAZELLE!!!!!
I wish I had 10% of this guy’s energy.
Absolutely classic…this is a keeper!
Land dolphin?!
“Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!”
You read my mind.
The embarrassing thing is, I have often wished I myself could do this when I lose my car in the parking lot. Heh.
I usually wish I could hover, like a very large, drab, hummingbird.
Priceless!!! LOL!!!
I love happy dogs! Farmer’s going to be ticked about his wheat, though…
