I have to ask...what's he building in there?

ROFL!!! Too funny/creepy! But where was Fortis? All I saw was a bunch of pictures of some dog with too many legs...

Hah, too funny!! And I can relate. I could probably tell you every colour of paint that was shown on those swatches on the one slide - I am in the middle of paint purgatory currently and obsessed with finding the RIGHT one to go with my Old House.
So, Fortis, what IS he building in there? Looks like a heck of a lot of things.

p.s. does remodelling have a bright side?

That is hysterical!! LOL with tears streaming down....creepy and funny - a great combination - love it....what's he building in there...will be forever imbedded in my mind as well as Fortis' expressions of...what's he building in there... What a great video!! To take from one of our other tripawd ratings (Princess Ginger), I give it a 3 Paws Up !!

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

forgot to mention – love the photos of Fortis with his eyes glowing! They definitely add to the creepy factor. So wasn't that you narrating? 
Gave me a laugh! Nice work!

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

Haaahaaaa heeeeheeee!!!!! That was great! When I was in 6th grade we had to enter a speech contest. I chose to recite Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart" I really got into character, and I think I freaked out the teacher a bit (this innocent 11 year old girl talking about hearing the heartbeat of the dead guy under the floor boards). Anyway, great work!!
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

OK, there's a major creepy factor to that video (but in a good way). I have a feeling a certain part of that audio will be stuck in my head all day. I'll let you guess what part. 
But I'm kinda more impressed with the fact that big boy Fortis doesn't realize he can easily step right over that little white gate thingie.
Great video!

Ok, that's a hoot! Yeah, I thought the same thing Forits! You are sooo tall and that gate was sooo short You're a 'good boy' for staying on the right side of the gate...

We did the remodel thing at my parents house- started with refacing the kitchen cabinets and evolved to striping the kitchen down to floor joists- and then it enveloped the entire house.
Yea- the pugs could get over that 'gate', or at least push it over, whats up with that big dog?
I also like how you chose tile that matches Fortis!!

Wow, what a big job you took on with the remodel….and ya did GREAT !!!
Beautiful!
Fortis looked like you could finish at any time………"Is it done yet? Is it done yet???" hahahahaa
It cracked me up that Fortis is such a good boy that he didn't cross that mini gating (looked like wire shelving on its side)….too funny!
