As I briefly mentioned in yesterday's post, Thomas has been a little sick for the past few days, but was feeling much better yesterday. In fact, he was feeling so well that he got a bit giddy about it, which encouraged Rocky to be wacky, and it turned into a vicious cycle of encouraging each other to do wacky things.
I wish I would have started taking this video a few seconds earlier. Rocky was walking around on the table, when Thomas jumped on him (being careful not to hurt him, of course).
Later on, after dinner, Rocky climbed onto the couch with us for some attention.
He hung out in the hood of Thomas's sweatshirt for a few minutes:
Thomas will occasionally make Rocky fake talk, like in this video. He had done it several times before I filmed, with Rocky telling me how much he hated me. I asked Thomas to have him say something appropriate for the blog (i.e. nothing mean about me), and, in doing so, I found out who Rocky would have voted for in the recent election:
Rocky's laugh is infectious and contagious. We'd been doing a lot of laughing last night. Not only because Thomas was in such a good mood, but also because "The New Adventures of Old Christine" was on.
I didn't want to post this video since my laughing is in the background, in the beginning. Note that that's not my real laugh -- it's the laugh I use to encourage Rocky to laugh. But, Rocky got going at the end, so I'm posting it. Not for the first time do I wish I had video-editing skills!

I dunno if it's my computer or just blogger, but these videos just WOULD NOT WORK for me today! It'd play one second, then freeze. =(
Sammi -- I have no idea what's going on. I tried them again and they worked for me, and they also worked for my husband at work.
I know BP was having trouble with one yesterday but it just took a long time to load.
Sorry about this :(
What do you use to take these videos? It appears to be very easy for you, which is what I'd be looking for.
BP -- In April 2006, we bought a Canon PowerShot A630. That's what I use for all of my pictures and videos.

It's super easy. There is a little dial on the top, and I just turn it to movie mode when I want to take a movie. I just click the button like I'm taking a picture to start recording a movie, and click it again to stop.
I'd imagine other cameras have this feature as well, and now's probably a good time to be looking, with Christmas sales and all!
I got the videos to work and AHAHAHAH OH JEEZ! Rocky being tickled was GREAT!
That last one is great! Looks just like nani playing except those sounds coming out of him are scary. teeheehee
Sammi -- so glad it finally worked for you. I have no idea what's going on!!!
Doodlebird -- Thomas has tried doing that with Beeps, but he is not a fan, so he flies away. How fun that you got Nani doing that so early!!!
That last video is amazing. What a neat bond they have!
