Not sure if this will work. I am no computer whiz. I have tried for almost 12 years to get a picture of this. Finally had success with a video. Excuse my undergarment he knocks off the drying rack. This is the greeting I have come home to daily since he was about 6 months old. Lori,Ty  and the gang

So CUTE!!!! I was able to see it (sorry Sally)... LOVE it.

Lori - in response to your comment on the blog last night about the "corgi chewbacca"... I had to Google it and yes - OMG - Jasper DOES make some of those sounds... I'll try and get her 'greeting' on camera. Between the low-growl (which really is a growl) and then the moans and groans for no reason and when I pet her, her sounds. AT first I thought I was hurting her but she's just a vocal pooch! :-)

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

I can see it. Great smile! I think pets enjoy pulling undergarments off drying racks. For some reason over the years my cats always pull down my panties and beat them up with their hind legs.

Thanks for the smiles!

I can't see it, either! Does this have something to do with the ipad? Will try it on the laptop and see if it comes through there.

Kathi and Murphy

Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!

UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

I have two dogs that smile, one is a greyhound cross and the other a whippet cross.  The greyhound NEVER smiles at me, everyone else in the world yep but not her momma.  Shes a brat.  The whippet smiles at me and everyone else he just is that type of dog. I think its funny that smiling seems to cause sneezing or rapid exhaling or something lol

I can't see it on the Surface Pro either, but then again, I use Firefox for a browser, so that may have something to do with mine.

Oh my goodness that is the most hilarious thing!! That is quite a smile! Hahaha!! I'm on a mac, I could see it the first post but not the second time. I always publish my videos on my YouTube channel and then I just post the link here (I don't use the image/video button). Seems to be the easiest way everyone can see it. Lets see if this works:

Thank you Elizabeth!! Now I am going to really sound like a dummy, but how do I publish my videos to you tube. I really do not know this stuff.

Hmm....not sure how I see it but it sure is cute! 

BTW Lori - is this what you mean by the corgi chewbacka? EVERY day I hear this when I get home (when she's done body-slamming herself against the door). She has to wait till I put on flats/tennis shoes vs my heels!
