I will do my best to keep the 15 second video feature on Wednesdays. Consistency aids in maintaining an audience, they say...
Some backstory on this one:
Our Jack Russell Terrier has actually been clinically diagnosed with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). We've come to understand it's really not all that rare in the breed. Bloody hyper-active dogs that they are. The most frequent way this materializes in ours is his habit of running circles.
Counter-clockwise ONLY.
On the rare blue-moon days when we vacuum our living room, there is a circular pattern of white hair around the circumference of the track he runs. I wish I were joking. His favourite and/or least favourite commercials spur him on to barking, blurred sprints. Our whole family seems to have become inured to the effect, but company still finds it vastly amusing.
Now, even when walking, he takes to lifting his left hind leg and carrying it since, when he runs, he's at such a banked angle that it's useless.
The alarming dearth of snow this winter has given both dogs freer range of the back yard than they would otherwise be able to enjoy. There is another pair of dogs that live two houses down. Hearing them bark when they're outside drives Jango (our Jack) bonkers. He has now formed a similar, but much larger, track outside around our firepit. It is nearly a perfect circle.
This clip was taken from our kitchen window this past weekend. Crazy mutt.
That video is hilarious. I can understand why company would think he is worth watching. Counter-clockwise only? Too funny.

In all probability, you can hear me laughing clear the heck up there. I don't know what's funnier, the actual video or your commentary.
Thanks for sharing :-)))))))))))))))))))))))
