Friday Fun: The Box Which Maru Can’t Enter

You’re getting 2 Friday Funs today, because if there’s something I can’t resist, it’s a video of Maru the cat & a video of a dancing baby goat.  Something to remember if you ever need to bribe me.

First, we have Maru and a very crafty box.

Friday Fun: Hungry Fat Cat

Rattle, rattle.  Hey, this food machine isn’t working.  Rattle, rattle.  No really, it’s broken.  Rattle, rattle.  Empty.  Rattle, rattle.  See?!  Rattle, rattle.

Friday Fun: International Rules Football + Jack Russell Terrier

I used to love watching Australian Rules Football (now International Rules Football).  It’s a fast, fierce game and they used to have these surreal umpires in white coats with white hats who looked like wacky butchers making very dramatic hand gestures and waving flags.  Here’s footage of a Jack Russel Terrier who just can’t sit still while there’s a ball to be chased.  He’s pretty fast & fierce himself and apparently stayed in the game about 8 minutes.

Update: Baltic The Dog

Do you remember Baltic the dog? He was the poor pup rescued off an ice floe 15 miles out to sea about a year ago by the crew of the Polish research ship The Baltica.  He’d been spotted 2 days earlier floating down the Vistula River, but firemen weren’t able to rescue him at the time.

Baltic has since been adopted by a member of the crew and he accompanies them on some of their trips to sea.  Storms still make him nervous, but otherwise he spends his time supervising the ship.
