I shot this movie Friday evening. The herd's dinner was interrupted by Smooch
barking at something invisible to me but clearly seen and heard by everybody else.
YouTube tells me that the video is blocked in some countries because of a copyright claim
on the soundtrack. My apologies to readers in Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Germany, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Moldova,
Mongolia, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
I wish I could watch your YouTube videos, but because I have young children around, I have to keep the safety mode on. It blocks you every time. I didn't have any trouble with Vimeo when you used to use that. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry...Vimeo seems to have seriously cracked down on the music that they would allow, so unless I go back to silent movies, YouTube is is for awhile.
Deletewhat about singing the tune yourself or whistling it in pure cowgirl fashion?
DeleteHow do you do that? It's all so terrific -- music & animals all doin' it together perfectly. I hope you laughed as loud as I did at the part where Alan shakes his head!
ReplyDeletewith all this going on you must never ever never be bored.
ReplyDeleteSo glad it wasn't blocked in Canada. Great movie. Did you ever find out what caused the ruckus? All is well, it seems everybody back to supper. No worries. Animals do communicate with each other and I find that impressive. Birds to cats and dogs even.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the ruckus was a noisy vehicle on the far-off road. Or maybe a cow farted in the woods?
DeleteGreat job, Ms Executive Producer/Editor/Camera Woman!
ReplyDeleteDammit! I was really looking forward to watching your video while I was sipping on my coffee in sunny Azerbaijan!
ReplyDeleteHaaaaaaa, Jane! You CRACK me up! :-)
DeleteOh, but you didn't have to travel that far! I could have offered you the same "privilege" in the (apparently) only European country they're blocking, Germany... [mumble grumble]
DeleteIn the part where Alan shakes his head to the brrrrrrr, what is rolling on the ground. Or am I seeing things?
ReplyDeleteI see a white feather blow by but other than that...??
DeleteThat song is quite subversive! If they allow it to be heard in the ---stan countries the next thing you know *everyone* will demand supper. And a cheerful supper at that. I don't blame them at all...
ReplyDeleteLaurieB - still snapping my fingers and singing "Suppertime" even though I'm just making breakfast, heh. Thanks for the lively wake-me-up.
Those EARS! Those fabulous ears...my,my,my...I had NO IDEA they could move that much and/or independently of each other!!! Wow. Wow. Awesome. Just awesome!
ReplyDeleteHigh Alert at 7MSN. Thankfully the Border Patrol was there so Alan could take his bath unmolested.
ReplyDeleteAnd you just *happened to be videoing when Smooch started her ruckus? Good timing!
ReplyDeletewaw, never knew Hank and Alan could eat side by side
ReplyDeleteAlan is the only who is allowed to share Hank's food. Go figure.
Deleteamazing! I would have said that Lucy could do it but no, just Alan!
DeleteThis is unbearably cute! And I'm grateful for living in an non-istan country … the music is spot on.
ReplyDeleteDamn, a most excellent job of combining music and action. Makes me want to submit this to some kind of contest. This is just so well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a catchy song, got my head bopping back and forth as Smooch alerted and everyone stared with antennas locked and ready!! But then all became serene and it was back to Supper Time!! Oh gosh I laughed so hard at Alan taking his roll in the dirt, and the music matched his every wiggle! So well choreographed, could you quit your day job NOW and do these videos for an internet living??
ReplyDeleteHow did you time the music so well that Alan's ears and the "brrr" sound were at the same time?! I laughed so loud at that part!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know where you find these pieces of music, but they are so fun!
I love how Alan freezes at the beginning and even stops mid-chew!! ha ha!!
Isn't that the song from You're a Good Man Charlie Brown? Makes me curious about the proceedings in the blocked countries.
ReplyDeleteAnyway ... Smooch has a really big bark!
