Smooth is looking like he is having a ball.
Smooth hardly seems to know what's happening to him.
As we all do.
So much fun!
I highly recommend the 'making of video' on this one... I was amazed to learn that all of the dogs in the video (and the cat) came from a Humane Society Shelter in Utah.
I'm unable to see your Smooth version of the "gag". Always says, "video not available". Not sure why, but then I'm not much of a social media participant (probably my loss in so many ways).
Still, I enjoyed the gag post, and sent it along to my family.

Bill, sorry the Facebook video won't play for people who aren't signed up for FB. I don't want to put such short videos on YouTube, and I'm not sure if there's a better way to host a video and embed it into the blog. Anyone have any suggestions?
