As promised for our second year of blogging, I’m trying very hard to shoot more videos to share. So, for future comparison’s sake. Here are some baseline videos of Lilly at play — both alone and with Ginko.
I did these with my regular Kodak digital camera, rather than our fancy Sony video camera. It’s faster and easier. I’m shooting the video with my right hand and throwing with my left. Since I’m right-handed, my tosses aren’t of their usual distance and vigor. Apologies in advance for the annoying wind noise. Sorry too for some of the camera movement. It’s hard to hold it still while picking up the ball. I taught them to DROP IT, rather than hand it to me.
Since I’m still having video insert issues, I made the subheads click-able links … just in case the HTML embeds don’t work below.
Lilly Playing Fetch
Notice how quiet she is, how focused she is. Clearly, she loves this,
but notice the difference from Ginko in the video below. Lilly gets
that throw-the-ball-or-die look. She will bark if she gets frustrated, or sometimes when she runs after the ball, but I’m not convinced she knows she’s doing it. I LOVE the way she bounces back and
forth between throws.
