I had just come back from Missoula late this afternoon and had gone into my office to check emails when I heard this rustling sound coming from the dog bed outside my office door. There was Bailey, rolling around like mad, having the time of his life. I grabbed the video camera and walked out to capture the moment. He saw me standing there and stopped. Now, that’s unusual because he is, as I’ve mentioned before, a dog who loves to perform for the camera.
He scampered off the bed, scooted around the living room (his back legs list at about a 45-degree angle now), and then suddenly made a bee-line for the dog bed again. I had turned the camera off and before I could fire it up, he had thrown himself into an entirely new ‘roll extravaganza.’ It was almost like he had to go backstage for a quick breather before his next performance. And with no warning to the audience or cameraman, he was at it again.
So this is what I captured on video. For a little dog who was rescued from an animal hoarder’s outdoor pen, Bailey has come a long way.
(The clickity-clackity noise you’ll hear on the audio are Belvie’s toenails as he zooms around the house while I’m filming. In the first couple of seconds you’ll see Belvie race into the video — I think he was trying to snatch one of the toys Bailey was playing with — and then he disappears just as fast. But those are his feet you hear in the background.)
