Okay. This is my first attempt at adding video to my blog. Be patient with me. I don’t quite get the editing yet. I wanted to do certain portions slow motion but could not get the effects editor to open, no matter how many times I watched the video that showed me how it’s supposed to work. iMovie’s Help totally stinks!
I also wasn’t sure how much to compress or what settings to use. My first save was 97 MB! I got it down to 7.3, but now it looks kind of dotty. Any suggestions from you experienced video-ographicers?
Anyway, this is Java playing frisbee. She’s getting better at catching it. You might also notice she has a training collar on. According to the DVD that came with the collar, you are supposed to put it on for about a month and play and train the dog before you ever start to actually turn it on and use it. That way the dog hopefully associates the collar with fun time and not with being hit by lightening. Plus you are working on basic come and stay, within reach before moving on to obeying commands in an open field.
That’s right. My sweet, perfect, little Latte was written up at Doggie Daycare last Friday for being a “bit vocal”. Oh, the shame of it. Doggie delinquency at such a young age. I think it must have been another dog’s fault. My darling girl is so quiet. And polite. She’s never a bit of trouble….
It’s beginning to look a lot like fall. Leaves are starting to yellow slightly. Maple leaves are starting to redden. Poison Sumac sure is pretty at this time of year. Leaves cover our usually clear path. Sit break. We’ve been going through a dry period again and the river shows it. However fall like it…
After only two days of supporting new software users, I’m exhausted. Today I had three people fighting over me to come fix problems or show them how to do something. Hectic, but it was nice to be able to help people figure things out. I love troubleshooting and solving problems! I wish I got to…
It used to be simple. If anything happened to me, there was still my spouse — to take care of business, make decisions, and do whatever needed to be done. We had a Will and a Living Will. Simple. But now things like who decides when to pull the plug becomes more complicated. Is that…
“You used to be much more…’muchier.’ You’ve lost your muchness.” — Mad Hatter to Alice in Alice in Wonderland I watched Alice in Wonderland and it got me wondering where my muchness went. This leads to grabbing for straws. Maybe get another dog to fill the house with more of something. More life. Helping out a critter….
It doesn’t take much to make a dog happy. And Java’s antics are always good for a laugh. This is a video of the things that make Java happy. Lest you fear for her life running with the horses, it’s not a regularly allowed thing, not because the horses try to hurt her — they…

I love this! Java did so well there at the end! I could never get any of my dogs to play frisbee! I would have thought my Aussie’s would be good at it, but no. They would rather herd goats, and humans. Hmmm… I think you did a good job editing, I don’t even know how to do that. I just put whatever video I recorded right on my blog, mistakes and all! I am not very computer literate at times!!
You did a FAB job with this…I don’t know how to do this at all so I’m no help. It turned out great! Oh and JAVA is really getting to be an expert frisbee catcher.
Awesome video!! Java is a total pro frisbee catcher! Mack does those leaping catches for snowballs, but that’s the only thing he’ll do it for (hurts his dignity too much when he misses and gets beaned by a ball or frisbee…but snow is another story, as being 1/2 Husky he adores it!)
