My dog loving the snow this morning...

[Malsua 1,422]

My wife was pitching snowballs for him to retrieve...he took a couple to the face and is clearly fired up that they disappear. heh.  Oh, that's right, the rest of NJ got zilch snow.   We got 4 inches of heavy slush and crap then tuesday night we got another couple inches of regular heavy snow.

What is it about snow that causes dogs to go bonkers over?  We had about an inch of wet slush.  Gone now.  Yotes left their tracks, early. Time to get a permit.

Good choice of soundtrack there...!

I think it's two things.  They get great traction in snow, and they're tossing rooster tails when they run.   It's very friable for them.

I would have loved to use something everyone is familiar with but youtube will flag it on the upload.  The days of "music videos" with your own video are over.     You used to be able to change the time signature of the music and it wouldn't catch it.  Now however that doesn't even work.  I'm not quite sure how that algorithm works, but it's pretty amazing.    I'm all for cutting in whoever owns the audio on a royalty, but you don't split it.  They get ALL of it, which isn't fair to the creator of the video.   I have an Ocean city NJ video(I shot 100% of it)  that I spent several days editing and youtube caught some background music and flagged it, assigning, quite unfairly, any and all revenue to some shyster lawyer group out of Honk Kong who buys up all these expired rights to music.   It's infuriating, so I pull down anything flagged.

 

As it stands, I usually just leave the audio whatever was originally recorded, or in the case of my security cams, there is no audio, so I go find something royalty free.    That guy has a whole collection of "silent movie" audio and you can use any of it with attribution, so I picked one that fit.  I'll definitely use him again.

Wow, all we got was rain, my Huskies would have loved that.

Lol, my dogs go nuts in the snow, but they certainly don't get better traction. It's amusing when they bolt across the law and go to turn....They slide out 60% of the time, one barrel rolls to pop back on his feet.

I bet the dog's are thinking " What is it with people that they get such a kick out of watching me play in the snow? "

Well, _MY_ dog got great traction in THIS snow.  It was very dense.  He's also used to having zero traction on our hardwood floors, so when he can barrel about at full speed, he loves it.

It's probably just the pure innocent joy of it.    It's play without reservation and fun for the sake of fun.
