Did anyone see that Budweiser commercial, it was quite a few years ago? It was a border collie who was doing a scene for a movie. They ask him to act upset and he tries to. The director says , no act really upset....then you see a Budweiser truck drive away out of site. The border collie starts howling and really acts upset .  I only saw it twice that year. It was great. I think the other best Budweiser commercial was the one when the horses are playing football. They kick for the field goal.  Two guys are leaning on a fence  watching and the one guy asks if they always do that? the other guy says no they usually go for 2 points.

I don't remember those. Will have to look them up when I get (take) time.

The kitty video was a winner!  My female cat likes to knock stuff off the shelves. Last night, she scooted a 3# can of coffee off a shelf, and the lid came off. Cats are like having babies all over again.

My lady friend's cat....a Bengal...is actually quite brilliant.

In the morning....after several unsuccessful attempts to wake her up so she can be fed...will ALWAYS go straight to the nightstand and keeps batting the mini-blinds...making all kinds of crazy noises...until she relents and gets up.

This is one of my favorite cat videos, if not the best! Cats are fascinating to watch, unless I'm pre occupied with something else. They don't care, and will keep at whatever they are doing until they get my undivided attention. I've had to shut them in another room so I could get things done, like the other night when I was trying to pay bills, and they kept walking across the paperwork! Then they are, "damned cats"!  :laugh:

I have a one-year-old drives me nuts when I'm trying to get work done at my desk. The young ones are like that. However, once they mature a bit then they're too busy sleeping to bug you.

'I hope you are right. Lizzie is so nosy and has to see everything. I learned two important things to keep them alive. Check the washer before you start it, as well as the dryer. Niall almost died twice!

Some years ago, I was deer hunting in the north woods of Wisconsin.  Fresh snow was falling, no wind, no sound.  I was sitting quietly just enjoying the moment and watching for movement.  Suddenly, one of those beautiful owls flew directly overhead from behind me just under the canopy of snow covered branches.  It was totally and absolutely silent.  A gift.
