Harvey the young little guy is just over one and half years old and his dad Ryan were having some fun at the park recently after a snowfall. Living on the West Coast of British Columbia near Vancouver, the winters are not that harsh so snow is minimal. As soon as the snow hits in this area, everyone gets out to enjoy some fun. Ryan had asked his dad to bring over a toboggan he had, and to join in some fun at the park hill. After some fun sledding, they walked to the nearby play park, and began swinging fo a few minutes. Grampa pushed little Harvey as Harveys dad swung along at the same time. after a few minutes playing around, making the swing go sideways and side to side, Ryan did a dismount that surprised his wife and his dad. His reply to his wife when she said" wow when did you start doing that?" Ryan replied" I have been doing that since I was a little kid". His dad was surprised both at his dismount and him claiming to have been doing that a long time, he did not remember that. Even the nearby snowmen were delighted with Ryans antics on the swings, look at their smiles!!! Fun was had by all that snowy day in Surrey and followed with a sleigh ride home to some hot lunch and hot chocolate.

Baby Harvey is one adorable little guy that resides in Langley British Columbia Canada. His parent are always getting him to try new foods, drinks and activities to open up his world to many experiences. This day while mom was at work, dad was making some lemonade from scratch, and wanted to see how Harvey would enjoy one fresh lemon slice. After a couple tastes, and dad Ryan also trying out the lemon, Harvey continues to see if he likes it. As you will see here and in the carbonated water video, Harvey is not a quitter and always keeps an open mind. Determined to follow dads lead, Harvey keeps trying until dad ends the recording. As we all know, lemon is very healthy for us, it helps clean out bodies. Enjoy little Harvey and his ongoing escapades. He is one adorable grandson.

A group of divers from the Fraser Valley Scuba Club near Vancouver Canada had arranged with a local university to experience the effects of nitrogen narcosis in the decompression chamber. Nitrogen narcosisis is a reversible alteration in consciousness that occurs while diving at depth. It is caused by the anesthetic effect of certain gases at high pressure. Narcosis produces a state similar to drunkenness (alcohol intoxication), or nitrous oxide inhalation. It can occur during shallow dives, but does not usually become noticeable at depths less than 30 meters (100 ft). When the group arrived at the chamber location, they were given a briefing of how everything would play out and what to expect. With very rigid rules of what was allowed inside the chamber, everyone was required to don scrubs. The first group to go, was the one in this video. All friends and one father and daughter. Upon the descent, created by compressing the air inside the chamber, ear protection was required because of the loud hissing of compression. With the compression of the air, the temperature inside increased to around 90 ' f, quite warm. As the depth approached 100 feet, the narcosis was becoming noticeable in some of the divers, giggling was a sure sign. One of the women did have some issues equalizing her ears, but toughed it out and made it through. At the maximum depth reached of 150 feet, everyone's voices were as if they had inhaled helium, very squeaky, which was quite funny. Apparently caused by the pressure on the vocal cords along with sound waves being altered from the internal pressures of the chamber. Upon ascent, the inverse occurred, air expands causing fog, and the temperatures dropped to around 50 degrees f. After the experience, everyone talked about what they felt during the narcosis time, some laughed and some felt somewhat normal. A great experience to realize how you feel when "narc'd" so as a diver you can work through the feeling if you needed to deal with an emergency while at depth.

Harvey turned two years old on May 10, 2021. While family gathered in a tiny group because of covid-19 restriction in Langley British Columbia, fun was still had. When Harvey's dad came around the corner with the cupcake birthday cake lit with a big number 2 ablaze, Harvey was not very impressed. Did he think he was too old now? Did Harvey think his family sounded horrible singing him Happy Birthday? Most likely, he was feeling a little bit overwhelmed after opening many gifts from his Grandpa, Nana, aunty, and his parents. Once the initial shock subsided and Harvey realized the cupcakes were for him, he calmed a little. Who wouldn't calm when being brought several delicious chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. What an exciting day for everyone and Harvey enjoyed his new tree swing from Grandpa, Hotwheels cars, clothing and fishing equipment from his aunty, and more clothes from his Nana. Family is everything to this family, so being together in these tough times was very special. Happy Second Birthday, Harvey!

Elsa gave birth to a baby girl which she named Amanda. Jump ahead 23 years, Amanda meets her future Australian husband Craig in Vancouver, British Columbia and relocates to Melbourne.

Watch and enjoy this extra special birthday surprise!

To many who scuba dive, seeing large animals while below the water surface is the key experience they always strive for. To others, it is the small minute creatures that also inhabit the liquid that covers 70 percent of our earth. Domenico, originally from Italy who has been scuba diving for more than 15 years, finally had the opportunity to travel from his home in Vancouver, British Columbia to Guadalupe Island, Mexico to take in one of the scuba diving experiences listed above. Can you guess which one? Well, it was to be in the water with one of the most feared creatures in the ocean, the Great White shark. These sharks truly are giants, the adult male <a href="https://rumble.com/v334qr-sharks-circle-and-bump-divers-groin.html" target="_blank">sharks</a> range in size from 11' to 13'. The females are larger, measuring 16' to 20' and weighing over 4000 pounds. The Great White male seen here was approximately 12 feet long. When it turned and swam straight up at him, he was both nervous and excited. He was hoping he was just going to keep swimming past so he continued recording&rdquo. Departing Vancouver International Airport for San Diego California was how the trip began. Domenico was then picked up by the tour operator, transported across the Mexican border with the others in the group to board a yacht which they all would be staying on for 1 week. Guadalupe Island is a small volcanic island approximately 150 miles offshore from Ensenada Mexico, taking 18 hours to arrive while aboard the custom yacht. With up to 150 foot visibility, this location offers the best diving for the opportunity to see these animals. A dive spot so rich with a great white presence that little baiting is needed to draw them in close to the cages. Diving in Guadalupe is all about getting up close and personal with Great White Sharks. There are many sharks here so you will not be disappointed if thinking "What if there are no sharks when I go?"; This location is a mating grounds for the Great White sharks which follows with an 11 month gestation period. They then return to the Baja Peninsula coast to give birth to shark pups. Once giving birth, the adult sharks then repeat the process and return to Guadalupe. Kept safe by metal cages, divers can take photos, observe their behaviors and maybe even catch sight of a Great White hunting it’s prey. These dive spots help divers and shark enthusiast, in general, enter a new world of understanding for the great white sharks and their inquisitive <a href="https://rumble.com/v4a83l-when-mother-nature-calls.html" target="_blank">nature</a>. Safety for the divers is key for all the tour operators that come here and the rules and regulations are governed by the Mexican government. Break the rules and the operator loses their license. The divers are directed to not touch the animals, no matter how inviting it seems. At the time this was recorded, Domenico was permitted to be outside of the shark cage. This apparently is no longer allowed which makes this footage extra special. "What an experience it was, I could have touched his fin", Domenico explained. "I will definitely be going back." Some divers have taken this excursion many times and say: "It never gets boring or old. There are always different things happening as the sharks come extremely close."

After a day scuba diving at Porteau Cover Provincial Park, the cameraman and his wife were minutes out of the area when they came across a traffic jam and noticed billowing black smoke in the near distance. Hearing sirens in the distance, Brent continued to shuffle through traffic to get closer to the front of the line as he knew this was going to be a time consuming incident. Once near the front of the stopped traffic, Brent got out and began recording as the firefighters tackled the blaze. Being in a rural area, the firefighters of Britannia Beach are volunteers, which meant approximately a 20 minute arrival time from the time of the 911 call. Once they arrived they sprung into action and got the gear all ready and began fighting the 2 fires. The mini one being the vehicle, and once that was under control a second group of firefighters tackled the grass fire beside the highway.

A leisurely day out on a whale watching got extremely exciting very quickly. After a few hours cruising around trying to locate the Humpback and Orca whales that were being talked about on the marine radio, the time had come for some close up activity. Earlier in the day the group on the excursion had departed from Anacortes, Washington. After aboard, safety briefings done, the captain fired the engines and away they went. Slowly departing the marina, the crew notified the tourists aboard that they would actually be heading into Canadian waters as that was where the whales were currently being spotted. Sitting back and enjoying the beautiful summer day, Brent and his wife found a comfy seat and took in some sun. Once nearing Vancouver Island the captain notified everyone that there was a solo Humpback whale just ahead. This stirred everyone's curiosity as most aboard had never seen a whale before in the wild. "Watching the Humpback breach the surface, arch its back then sound to the depths was very peaceful but exhilarating" Brent said. After a short time enjoying the Humpback ,they all scooted south to another location where Orca had been spotted. Now things really got exciting. Seeing a small pod of whales that appeared to have some young orca with them was amazing. Suddenly another pod was located approximately a half mile away which seemed to be swimming in circles. This footage was recorded right at this location. The captain explained how orca hunt and how they train their young. Mainly feeding on fish and seals as they provide a very high in fat meal, the whales being to circle, then contact the seals with their flukes(tail) or actually pounce atop the seals. After some training, the hunt was over. Adult orca, or killer whales, eat between 150 pounds and 300 pounds of fish or seal per day. This requires a good part of a day to accomplish at times, all dependent on the time of year. The orca can become quite ingenious on their hunting skills and do at times work together to track and hunt schools of fish or pod of seals.

He is an architect by trade as well as a chef and a professional photographer. What do photographers like to do? That is to take many photos which he definitely did on this excursion. Departing Vancouver International Airport for San Diego California was how the trip began. He then was picked up by the tour operator, transported across the Mexican border with the others in the group to board the custom liveaboard yacht which they all would be staying on for 1 week.

There is no love stronger than a boy and his dog. Following you will see this deep connection between 18 month old Harvey and his dog, Bella. Bella is a 5 year old Terrier mix pup from Surrey British Columbia, Canada. Bella has great parents that up until a years and half ago she was the main "child" in the home. Bella was very use to receiving all the attention until her little "brother" Harvey came along. Bella has always been an extremely friendly and lovable pup. She has always been able to get along with anyone, and any other dogs, making it great for taking her along on vacation and to even just the local dog parks. Now that Harvey is very mobile, he is also building an extremely lovable personality. His love doesn’t only include his parents, with hugs and kisses daily, Harvey also loves his dog. Here you will see just how much love Harvey has for Bella. Yes most kids love animals and pets, but Harvey goes and shows to the extreme. Climbing into bed with Bella on her favourite dog bed is only one place that she gets cuddles from her brother . Whether on the couch curled in a ball, trying to sleep, Harvey will always snuggle up to Bella to comfort her and show his love. Rolling around on the dog bed, snuggling and hugging Bella, Harvey at times gets a little “heavy “ on this little pooch and she will escape his grappling for a quieter location. Harvey always finds Bella, he loves her to bits. As you can see there is nothing more special than the love of a young child and his dog. What a beautiful relationship these two have, true love.

Some deer can be very friendly and domesticated from living within close proximity of humans, while some remain quite nervous when any human comes near. The Lower Mainland area of British Columbia Canada has a high presents of deer as the city of Vancouver itself runs along the edge of much forested areas. Other cities and towns near Vancouver share this type of animal activity. Maple Ridge is a short drive to the East of Vancouver and the location where these beautiful blacktail deer chose to visit Tory and her parents. While enjoying a backyard campfire during a late summer evening, Tory noticed one black-tailed deer appear from around the side of her parents home. The deer proceeded to walk very comfortably along the lawn and into Tory’s parents beautiful flower garden. Looking over at Tory and her parents sitting beside the campfire, the deer remained very calm while enjoying a snack of numerous flowers. Moments later, a second deer appeared. This second deer as well gave Tory and her parents a look of “ hello there, how are you today?” And proceeded to also enjoy some roses and other flowers in the garden. In disbelief how tame the deer were, Tory began videoing the event. No sooner had she started did a third deer appear. They just kept appearing and had no concern for us, but they sure liked mom's roses. These black-tailed deer during the winter and early spring, they feed on Douglas fir, western red cedar, red huckleberry, salal, deer fern, and lichens growing on trees. Late spring to fall, they consume grasses, blackberries, apples, fireweed, pearly everlasting, forbs, salmonberry, salal, and maple. The size and weight of these beautiful creatures can range from as small as 30 kilograms (66 pounds) to as large as 210 kilograms (462 pounds). Along with foraging throughout the forests near Vancouver, of course the deer find their way into residential neighborhoods to enjoy the hard work of some home owners with green thumbs. Tory’s mother and father have definitely provided a superb buffet of snacks for this family of deer. Enjoy the video and see what Tory and her parent had the opportunity to enjoy up close and personal.

Bella is a 5 year old Terrier mix pup from Surrey British Columbia, Canada. Bella has great parents that up until six months ago she was the main "child" in the home. Bella was very use to receiving all the attention until her little "brother" Harvey came along. Bella has always been an extremely friendly and lovable pup. She has always been able to get along with anyone, and any other dogs, making it great for taking her along on vacation and to even just the local dog parks. As Harvey has been getting older he too is building an amazing personality. Laughing has become one of Harvey's latest achievements, showing just how happy he is. Play time for Bella and Harvey comes any time of the day, as long as neither is having a nap. Here you can see just how Harvey and Bella interact with the help of their dad Ryan. Darting in and out of Harvey's room, Bella stirs up some fun and excitement. Harvey's hilarious laughter seems to encourage Bella even more to race around the room. How much fun it will be once Harvey is mobile enough to also chase Bella through the house, then there will be some laughter from more than just Harvey. Love within the household is always the best. Pets and children sure make a family complete.

Fairies are said to bring good luck if you happen to see one. The building of a fairy village in your garden is also said to bring good luck with your harvest. It is said that if you do find a fairy, you get three wishes. Fairy villages have been found in parks and forests that seem to be randomly constructed along the forest floor and around tree bases. Recently the person that recorded this cool footage had been walking in a local park forest in Surrey British Columbia, when he stumbled across a very large Fairy Village. Hundreds of little homes and building were spread over a large area of fallen trees and stumps. Building that are like bird houses and all the way to the great imagination of someone to build a jail, a medical office or hospital, to a beer parlour. Everyone needs some fun in their lives, even fairies. Wandering the village made for a very fun experience seeing the incredible skill and imagination of those that have created these 'fairy homes". The number of structures is simply amazing and must have taken years to build to the numbers today. Seeing this definitely made for a happy morning for the videographer amongst all the negativity and troubles during the covid 19 pandemic of 2020.

While visiting Fisherman's Wharf in Victoria BC, Brent the cameraman witnessed the incredibly innovative way that this one particular seal gets its food. While other fellow seals swim around looking cute, some spinning to try and grab the attention of the woman with the herring, this brilliant harbor seal learns to "fake drowning" as we see it. This did get him some great attention and laughs and also his share of the catch!

Recently Brent and Elsa have been coming home to couches that are becoming damaged. Poncho their rescue dog has gone through a number of personality changes over her 12 years. Becoming a senior pooch is definitely causing some naughty habits with Poncho. As long as someone is in the house, even if they are not sitting with her, Poncho is generally well behaved. As soon as the house is empty leaving Poncho all alone, her anxiety kicks in to overdrive. As you will see she becomes quite aggressive while making her "bed" as comfortable as possible. Although she is on medication for the anxiety, it does not seem to always have great results. As hard as it is to come home to ruined furniture, Poncho is definitely still loved by her owners. You will see this in Poncho's eyes in the video. What a pooch!

Poncho, who was found in Playa Del Carmen as a puppy, has quite the personality. She almost always does some sort of prank while her owners are out of the house, from this one of rolling the door mat into a ball, to stealing her owner's glasses off the counter and laying with them. She never damages things, she just likes the comfort of them!

While visiting Manning Park Resort in British Columbia, Brent and Elsa made notice of all the gophers running around outside the front of the resort's main lodge. Brent took this opportunity to record some great footage of the curious little creatures. Being that there are many visitors to this resort in both summer and winter, the gophers have become accustomed to humans being very close to them, and some even allow you to pet them. Brent also had the chance to feed this little guy a healthy snack!

Bath time for some puppies is not their favourite event of the day. Bella and Bentley are a pair of pups that definitely have different outlooks on bath time at the Foster residence. Living in the outskirts of Vancouver in the city of Langley there is some great areas for walking your pets in wide open farmland areas. Behind their residence is all agricultural reserve land meaning there are no housing developments. This is perfect as trails wind through fields making it safely away from traffic. Although in the open land, this also means lots of mud puddles and dirt patches which the pups love to play in which brings us to this recorded footage. Having more free time during this 2020 covid-19 pandemic of social distancing, more dog walks have been happening at the Fosters. This day brought on bath time for both Bella and Bentley. Bentley was up first and all went smooth as he enjoys getting his monthly spa treatment. Bella on the other hand, she is not a fan of getting all wet and soaped up. Usually as soon as she hears the word “bath” or the water running in the kitchen, she is gone, hiding wherever she finds the easiest that day. As Mrs. Foster mentions, they generally have to spell out the word ”b a t h” rather than just saying it when planning to give their two pooches a bath. Spelling it out at least gives them time to prepare and have the dogs within arms reach. This was not one of those spell the word days, and Bella disappeared in a shot. “Bella where are you, it’s ok come have your bath!” Bella did not come running. Walking down the hall, Mrs. Foster has a good idea where Bella is, but you just never know until you see her. Nearing the end of the hallway and constantly calling Bella, she looks down and under a small bench, and guess what, there was Bella. Hiding and all safe from the bath monster so she thought, Bella stayed motionless. Gently reaching down and pulling Bella from under the bench, Mrs. Foster proceeded to the kitchen “spa” and began Bella’s spa treatments. After a few minutes Bella was all clean and ready to evacuate the “spa”. Dried slightly, it was time for a good old fashioned doggy shake, and away both Bella and Bentley went running through the house like two happy puppies.

Cats big or small are loved all over the world. Now this kitty surely fits the “big” cat figure, meaning she is a little chubby. Wild Birds Unlimited nature centre in Langley, British Columbia welcomes all into its store. Not only are customers welcome, this little (to say the least) yet chubby rescue cat has been welcomed into the store with open arms, by everyone. Kitty was brought into her new life within the Wild Bird store as a rescue that was badly overweight and unable to even walk without assistance. Slowly she has been getting exercise, and love, within the small confines of the store. Friendly is not the word for this adorable house cat, she will purr like a lion and take in all of your love and belly rubs. With a little scratch on the floor, and few words, Kitty was on her way to visit Brent while he was visiting the store, all in the name os some love and affection. Waddling along, Kitty looks like one of those huge musclebound wrestlers making his way into the ring, but no, it’s just little miss Kitty. Having been rescued a short time ago, she has already lost one pound, which may not sound like much but for a kitty of this size, it is a dramatic change to her mobility and an accomplishment to bettering her life. As we all know, a little exercise can help us to live much healthier lives. “I can hardly wait to see her transformation over the next few months” Brent mentioned. Adorable!

Drake the dog has some great big flappy ears. When out on a beautiful boat ride around Lake Okanagan in Kelowna, British Columbia, it was hard not to get a chuckle from watching him. Drake moved about the boat but his ears always seemed to grab the wind and fly horizontal. His buddy Chewy decided the fun was just relaxing and taking in the sights and smells of the open water. What a great day and fun times with the dogs and friends!

The resort this group stayed at had some amazing foliage and walkways. There are many wild creatures that also enjoy the resort. These creatures are not as such on a vacation like the humans, but they have taken up refuge within the bush areas of the resort. Although it is suggested not to feed the wild animals, many enjoy getting up close and personal with some of the animals. Here we see these very large iguana sunning at the edge of one of the resort pools. These large iguana are mainly herbivores but they will eat other food that they may come across while walking. This resort is very expansive and has acres of trees and bush in which wild animals inhabit. The spiny tail green iguana is very popular in these areas. Being vegetarians, in particular, they enjoy flowering shrubs, hibiscus, berries, fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, strawberries and figs. Right beside the pathway was a very tall palm tree that had dropped many dark berries and the iguana was picking them up as he walked along the garden. While walking within the resort, this visitor noticed these two big lizards near the pool edge. Along with some pool tiles that had been placed near the edge, there were also some plastic drink glasses. Even though this resort is very eco-conscious and uses biodegradable “plastic” cups, they still can be a hazard for animals. Taking care that the iguana did not pick up and eat the pool tiles, the videographer noticed the iguana had focused on the plastic cup. Thinking that the lizard could not actually eat the cup, Brent was not that concerned, until the iguana began pushing the cup along the pool deck. Once the lizard had successfully pushed the cup into the pool, it was known to be safe that the iguana would at least not bite the cup. Picking up the pool tiles was the next important item on Brent’s agenda as he could see the iguanas would possibly think they were a snack so those were discarded into the trash. Iguana are beautiful creatures that need to be protected and preserved.

Marke and his best buddy Lexi live in a beautiful part of the world. They live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, Washington state to the south and the Coast Mountain range to the North, Vancouver offers a very diverse weather pattern. An amazing city with much opportunity for outdoor activities all year long. Living in North Vancouver with an amazing back yard, Marke enjoys taking his dog Lexi out to the creek to play. Lexi, aka Rottigator, as Marke and his family like to call her, is a 2 year old Bernese Mountain Dog and Rottweiler cross. A very lovable companion as you will see in the video. Lexi will play for hours in the fast running creek. An extremely strong swimmer makes it very relaxing spending an afternoon throwing sticks and logs for Lexi to retrieve. When Marke stops playing throwing sticks and giant logs for Lexi, she immediately lets him know she is not quite finished playing. The creek that Marks enjoys having as his back yard is mosquito Creek. Mosquito Creek park area in North Vancouver has a number of hiking trails that can be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. Bernese Mountain Dogs as well as Rottweiler breeds are both very friendly and extremely strong dogs. Both make great pets when raised properly. As you can see, Lexi makes for a great pet.

Poncho is a rescue dog from Mexico who loves car rides. Since it's a beautiful sunny day, her owners decide to let her get some fresh air with the sunroof open. She definitely took in all the sights, sounds and smells of the neighborhood!

Hummingbirds are one of the smallest and most beautiful species of birds. Their light and fragile bodies, always amaze us humans with the strength and stamina they possess. During winter months, when food availability can be scarce, hummingbirds are able to slow their metabolism to an incredibly low rate to conserve energy stored in their bodies. Hummingbirds require an incredible amount of energy to flap their wings 50 times or more per second in order to maintain hovering flight. In fact, if a hummingbird were the size of a human, it would consume energy at a rate more than 10 times that of an Olympic marathon runner. They are able to accomplish this by burning only the most recently ingested sugar in their muscles while avoiding the energetic tax of first converting sugar into fat. As we see, they are amazing little creatures. The home at which these beautiful birds were recorded, had a treeing which these little birds had built their nest. During a winter storm in Vancouver B.C , the tree took a beating and had several large branches break. With the dangerous state that the neighbours tree was in, which also was the nesting tree of these little Anna’s Hummingbirds, the tree was in desperate need of being removed. Bren the videographer was concerned that the hummingbirds had been killed by the collapsing branches. The hummingbirds had not been seen around in the spring of 2023 although Brent continued to fill and clean his feeder. After 6 months, since the tree had been removed, the videographer is finally seeing the return of two hummingbirds that once use to frequent his feeder daily. With continued filling, cleaning and refilling the feeder since March, the gorgeous little birds are finally back and thriving. The two Anna’s Hummingbirds were very cautious when Brent secured his video camera near the feeder, but after approximately one hour they were comfortable enough to swoop in and enjoy a sugary meal. “Classy, urbane, and stylish with the heart of a tiger” best describes these little hummingbirds known as Anna’s Hummingbird. With their iridescent emerald feathers and sparkling rose-pink throats, Anna’s Hummingbird are extremely beautiful but they also have a fierce attitude and defend their territory with tenacity. Brent the videographer mentioned “It is great and exciting to once again be able to sit on my back patio and be able to watch , and hear, as the hummingbirds come in for a meal.”

Poncho the rescue dog from Mexico is quite the sneaky dog. There have been a few times over the last number of years that food items have disappeared without a trace. One time for instance, Brent and Elsa were having a dinner party barbecue. Brent had the grill full of prime rib steaks, baked potatoes, and shrimp skewers, and while having to pop into the house for a moment, upon returning there was one steak missing and a dog named Poncho was having a feast on the grass.... Another time, Elsa had been preparing for a family dinner. Stuffed pork chops in the middle of being prepared and again, when Elsa had to leave the kitchen this time for a moment, she returned to find one pork chop missing from atop the kitchen island, and a very guilty looking Poncho, licking her lips. As in this video, it is hard to get angry at your family pet, and as Poncho was saved from certain death as a puppy left to die inside a plastic crate pushed into a bush along a path in Playa Del Carmen Mexico 10 years ago, her owners tend to make point this may be reason for some of her behaviors. So finally they captured Poncho the bacon thief red-pawed in this funny footage as well as catching her comical way of trying to hide behind Brent when he is "trying" to discipline her. Poncho is quite a smart pooch in many ways, one main way is looking so dang cute which always gets her off the hook for doing something wrong. Her owners know this will not be the last time she sneaks something from where she should not be, but what can you do other than love your pet no matter what they do. Positive or a little negative characteristic in your pet is never the end of the world so lets all LOVE OUR PETS as they are family too. Enjoy this video and feel free to share my Poncho's sneakiness with your friends.
