Rubin at the zoo

This is my first attempt at uploading a video from my camera. Not sure it will work, but my paws are crossed.

I got a new toy this weekend. It's a plastic ball, but inside lives a zoo. Is there sound on blog? I know not, but if there is, you'll hear the zoo of animals that live inside this ball. For the life of me, I can't get them out no matter how much I jump and bark and toss the damn thing around the yard.

Go figure.

Meanwhile, I've played nursemaid to my Momma Ann who is home with an injured shoulder and a bout of fainting that tossed this house upside down for the whole week. I have a job...stay calm and at her feet while she rests and does some school work (report cards) and drinks lots and lots of fluids (Momma G's instructions).

Don't laugh, it's hard work, so the zoo ball was a nice distraction. And now we're waiting for Monty and his Momma to arrive for a game of fetch at the park.

I am so ready for a game of fetch at the park.

This video is taking forever to upload. Hope it works.

My moms have put the ball away for now. It's locked in some closet. I have yet to master the unlocking of doors though I can nose my way through a cracked one.

Is Monty here yet?

No, it was just the neighbor walking by. Maybe if I give my most forlorn look they'll open that locked door.

I sure hope this video works. I want everyone to see how frustrating this ball of animals can be. Is there sound? Oh yeah, I already asked that.

I guess I'm a little anxious about this. I mean, it's my first real movie debut. Sure, they've shot lots of film of me especially when I was a puppy, but this one is kind of priceless. Well, there are some even more priceless. Like when I played with Monty at the lake or that first snow last winter.

I thought technology was supposed to make our lives better or more efficient. This seems like it's taking a long, long time. Of course, I'm not the most patient pup. I was very patient today with Momma Ann. She was kind of boring, but I was dutiful and attended to her every need. I was also watchful. I didn't want her falling over like she did yesterday. That was spooky.

This video is "processing" or so says the little dialog box. What the hell does that mean?

Oh look, here it is! Enjoy!
