This is somewhat similar to the “Elephants’ Pianist” videos that Paul Barton has made, which I’ve posted. These are from someone who posts his videos as Plumes (or Plumes Officiel). He has separate "single videos" singing to a specific animal, but has also put together montage videos of them. This is one of the montages If these -- and the Paul Barton videos -- don't convince you of the calming, emotional impact of music on animals (whatever the animal), then nothing probably will.

Not surprisingly, I've been watching a lot of TV news the last couple days -- actually, longer, if we include invading Venezuela. So, I not only figured I needed a bit of levity, but also figured it would be best to do so with some kindred spirits, of sorts. In fact, I thought it proper to post two videos, since they are companions to one another. These are both very short. And are about pets watching TV. This first is much too unexpected and oh-dear-heavens funny. I know you're not supposed to say that something is so funny -- but even just thinking about what's coming I start laughing. And then even though I know what's coming, when it happens I can't help but laugh again. And then watch it again. And laugh. I feel confident that I'm not alone. By the way, what I also love in that video (beyond the obvious) is that the cat and dog are watching the TV so intently. And also, when the cat takes things into its own hands, the dog pretty much thinks, “Whatever, dude” and calmly just keeps watching. And this is a companion piece. But this time, it’s a dog’s turn to have the spotlight. You can see where you think it’s going right away – but then it takes things to a place that you never expected. Oh, this dog… That's a dog to dearly love. As far as adorable animal videos go, this is just one adorable beaver And her story from being rescued in distress at a very young age through her rehabbing with the help of a deeply caring woman and her family just makes her all the more adorable. You may not be able to access it below -- but if not, the direct link is here. Every day, a wild squirrel comes to visit a woman to just chill out or perhaps eat, and when the spirit moves her, to come inside and relax. For whatever reason, I don't think embedding this video works, but if not, then just click on this link here, and it will take you to the video on YouTube. When a new family in the neighborhood moves in, their cat decides that it, too, wants to make friends, and does with a neighbor’s dogs and goes on daily walks with them all – and more. I don’t know how to properly describe this to do it justice – but this is funny, weird, adorable, and inexplicable. It’s mainly the latter, but you can’t leave out the first three. I’ll just add that it’s highly-worth the 3-minute watch of the most enthusiastic pet fish you will have ever seen, so loaded with personality (yes, really) that acts like an excited puppy with its owner. It loves being hand-fed and petted. But it’s better than even that. I don’t want to give more away, though, because there’s the fun of “Wait, what??!!” discovery. But be sure to watch starting at the 2:45 mark when the owner talks about offers she’d had to buy the fellow. This is ‘Snappy.’ |
