When Howie Attacks

So, this is pretty much how Howie spends his weekend afternoons.

Towards the end, he gets tired and just can’t keep his balance.

Heh.

Happy Tuesday!

Too cute! My Samson (Jack Russell/Rat Terrier) lives to to play with the waterhose. We go thru a baby swimming pool every year. Thanks for the sweet video.

Daft wee dog.. he’s hilarious :) Such a star as well !

How’d you manage to keep so quiet filming that? :)

5 Amanda April 12, 2011 at 1:34 pm: You can hear us trying to stifle our laughter a few times! :)

What fun! My sweet Lab used to carry the sprinkler around the back yard. She’s is a little elderly now and watches the water go by. Howie and Miley always bring a smile to my heart.

7 Southern Gal April 12, 2011 at 6:12 am

That’s cute. I’ve never had dogs that like water. They would always run the other direction when they hear it running!

8 JMP April 12, 2011 at 6:29 am

And I thought my Boston was wild-child! Howie is full of life. What a fun video.

9 Angela C. April 12, 2011 at 7:11 am

That is soooo cute. Thanks for the smile this morning! :)

10 Carolyn April 12, 2011 at 7:34 am

I need to know how you keep them clean in the house. I love the swamp monsters post, but I would NEVER let my dogs do that because I know the horrendous mess my house would be! Please share your dog cleaning tricks ASAP so my doggies can enjoy the puddles without a neurotic mommy melt down :)

11 Emma @ She Got Married April 12, 2011 at 7:38 am

I love the end, where he just reluctantly gives in and lies down. So adorable.

12 jacque April 12, 2011 at 8:02 am

16 Sue April 12, 2011 at 8:37 am

He must be water-logged! Looks a little water obsessed like our black lab:)

17 CC April 12, 2011 at 8:47 am

Too funny! We have that problem at home too! Our chocolate lab is OBSESSED with the sprinklers!!!

21 The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh April 12, 2011 at 9:30 am

LOL…I love how he gives up at the end and does the “lazy dog” stance where the legs are sticking out on the ground!

22 clare April 12, 2011 at 9:38 am

Love Howie!! My BT chases the sprinkler, but she’s a Diva and quits if she gets muddy!

33 LCSmithSAVED April 12, 2011 at 6:07 pm

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL ROTF

34 Maris (In Good Taste) April 12, 2011 at 7:27 pm

Oh my! Poor Howie!

35 bec April 12, 2011 at 7:47 pm

hahaha! this is great. one more reason to love dogs (and animals.) i once heard someone tell me a story about a person who wanted to get a dog. the person, looking for a suggestion asked their friend what kind of dog she should get; the friend answered, “well, what kind of dog do you want to entertain?”

thanks for the video!

36 Bonnie T April 12, 2011 at 10:00 pm

HAHAHAHAHA ROTFL Amanda, you’ve got the most entertaining dogs!! Thanks for sharing! ;)

37 Lisa P in California April 12, 2011 at 10:15 pm

He could take his own bath this way. Just suds him up and let him rinse himself off.

38 Kristyn April 13, 2011 at 7:58 am

My goodness, he’s so cute!! I love how he just gave up at the end and let the water run on him (and how Miley was just innocently trying to get a drink while he was attacking the water faucet). My baby would never do it, shih-tzu’s are pretty particular little critters. Thanks for sharing, I love your Howie & Miley photos and videos!

39 Tricia Richner April 13, 2011 at 8:13 am

Oh gosh. That’s funny, but towards the end I started feeling a little sorry for the poor guy. . .can’t even stand up.

40 Carolyn L. April 13, 2011 at 8:18 am

I love Boston Terriers and French Bulldogs. I can’t wait to get out my apartment and get a house so we can have a yard for puppies! Yours are adorable.

41 Heather @ Mrs. Southern Bride April 13, 2011 at 9:15 pm

So cute!!!

I just wanted to say thank you for your beautiful fonts!! I used one of them on the re-design of my website, and love it!!! :)

42 Leslie May 9, 2011 at 10:57 am

Thanks for the video – Howie is such a character!

43 Lauren W June 13, 2011 at 6:17 pm

ok, I know I’m late to the party, but I’m just seeing this as I have discovered your fabulous blog recently and I loved this video!! I have never had a dog in my life and just got my own boston terrier recently, a girl I named Roux (being from new orleans I couldn’t help it with the name LOL)- so fun to see the grown up versions being just as funny and sweet as she is!

44 Suzanne Shepherd October 18, 2011 at 3:22 pm

Your doggies are such characters. They are like little wind-up toys with springs in their legs, LOL. This video and todays’ post are just great! I like the swamp monster post, too. I need to get something on my blog about my Aussies playing. Neighbors come to the park where my hubby exercises them just to see Calder jump for the Frisbie. It’s a great thing to have such fun (and funny) pets.

45 Sandra Henderson January 2, 2012 at 1:24 am

Loved to see your Boston’s. Wonder how old are they. with all that energy, they must be young. I have two Boston’s also and believe you should always have two for companionship etc. My two are named Jack and Daniel (brothers) after their Dad who was somewhat fond of Jack Daniel !!! I have had Boston’s for years, they are wonderful and full time intertainment. (Bonnie & Clyde, brother/sister and Ben & Jerry, brothers)
Keep the camera handy. I’d love to see more.
