I meant to post this last night, but FR was down, so here it is now. If you like puppies (and who doesn't) then check out this video clip and get a good start on the day before getting angry at all the news.

Sweet....:-)
Cute, but dangerous for the pup.
Thanks for the ping!
Instead of taping the poor thing, I would have gotten it out of the water so it didn’t drown. It’s only waking up because it can’t breathe...
So, let me get this straight. A puppy’s forepaws get stuck in a high bowl, he waterboards himself numerous times, and you stand there with a camera thinking about the “cute” video you will entertain the world with, as his nose is immersed under water instead of picking him up and placing him in comfort.
How cute. I’m so glad we have the distress of animals to entertain us.
Well put. Everybody wants to grap a camera and record the distress. You should be Saving the puppy what Ails you?
This whole video clip is a total of 1:39 long. Within 10 seconds of finishing the video, the puppy was picked up.
The puppy is healthy and fine. The people who own it are caring, loving, and very respectful of animals.
It was funny, and because of that I do not apologize for sharing it.
However, I do apologize for anyone who suffered any lasting trauma due to watching a puppy falling asleep while his loving and caring human owners videoed the incident before picking him up.
If I ruined anyone’s day by sharing this video I also apologize, but then again maybe you need to lighten up a little and not be so offended by such an innocent and funny video clip as this.
I’m not offended, I don’t need to lighten up, I’m not looking for an apology, and I’m certainly not traumatized.
My cat had a litter of kittens once and they would fall asleep on their feet and just keel over. - lol
4 freeper votes that the puppy is in distress to 1 freeper vote that the video is cute. You lose.
“Im not offended, I dont need to lighten up, Im not looking for an apology, and Im certainly not traumatized.”
Ditto.
I’m here to support you, OneVike. I think it’s cute also. It’s not like the puppy is in danger of drowning. It keeps waking up as its nose touches the water. Even a puppy has a sense of self-preservation and I’m sure the owner moved the puppy as soon as the video ended. Some people must be having a bad day that even a cute, sleepy puppy can’t fix.
It’s difficult to tell with 100% certainty what’s happening from the angle of the photo, but I never see the nostrils submerge and the puppy seems to express more annoyance than fright at his repeated soggy jaws. The pup looks more than capable of escaping; this is not like the way babies can drown in a high, deep bucket that physically traps them. I cast my vote with the “cutist” minority.
BTW: the lullaby words don’t make much sense unless this was filmed at night by moonlight.
Awww, thanks !!!
