I think this is the perfect video to start the new year, something funny, poignant, and hopeful as the world around us explodes…


Via Daily Dachshund and Dog News.  Thanks, Ann!

P.S. I have installed a new commenting system that allows us to comment via email, track responses and thread posts.  Yes, you have to sign up one time, but after that, no more “captchas” (annoying letter/number codes) to enter.  Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

** Fellow bloggers, the new service is calle TypePad Connect.  It is free and compatible with several blogging platforms including Blogger and WordPress.  If you are interested in learning more and/or installing it click here for a helpful video and instructions.

    I know, I was laughing and crying watching it. So sweet.
    So this service is kind of cool, I am responding to you by email, not going
    to my blog. But this will show up on my blog and I think it will go to you
    too.
    Thanks for posting : )

    It did! I am digging this service. I get lazy about responding to comments, because I never know if people come back. And it is very time consuming to email everyone, and doesn’t advance the commenting conversation. It’s in beta now, but I like it so far.

    Thanks for watching and commenting. I know, I love the idea of Darby having
    cross-species friends to play with. Although if I let him play with the
    squirrels and pigeons like he wants to, I think I would have some dead
    squirrels and pigeons on my hands.
    So I am responding to you via email, and the comment will automatically show
    up on my blog. I am liking this new Typepad Connect system in case you¹re
    interested in using it. So far, so good.

    OK, it was a real pain in the butt to create an account. I mistakenly told Typepad I was under 13 and then it wouldn’t let me correct it. I had to use another browser.
    I find that the comments label is a bit small. I had to really hunt for it. Any way of making it bigger?

    Suggestion: Have you considered a Recent Comments widget? That feature is really popular on my sites.
    Also, please sign up for WidgetBox, it’s good at driving traffic that’s likely to return.
    Happy New Year,

    Thanks, Ann. I will see if I can make the comment button bigger.
    I have not heard of the comments widget. I had widgetbox on my blog for a
    while but wasn¹t getting much traffic. May try again.
    I appreciate you taking the time to sign up and report back.

    Ok retrieved and reset password so I could comment. I loved the video. Great post. I guess if the computer remembers me next time and I can stay signed in to typepad it will not be tough to comment. I personally would be afraid I might loose potential comments due to the extra step of creating an account. It is so hard to get lurkers out of the shadows to comment as it is, why put up a wall in the way of additional steps.

    Hi Moria…the only thing is that when I try to post the message…it hangs until I hit reload. Could be Mozilla though…and not Typepad.

    I know. I am not sure if I will keep it. But I love being able to respond
    to you via email and have it sent to you AND posted on my blog. So, in a
    way it¹s a decision as to whether it is better to make it easier for me to
    respond to emails, thus encouraging more of a connection to my readers, or
    scaring them off with the hassle of signing in. I don¹t know the answer.
    I appreciate you helping me beta test, though.
    When you comment next time, will you let me know if your name and password
    are remembered, or if it is again an extra step.
    Thank you : )

    system or not. But it¹s cool that I can reply to you vial email and this
    message will post on my blog simultaneously.
    I appreciate your help.

    HI Leesia –
    You did end up posting on my blog, but obviously it didn¹t feel like it
    worked from your end. I am still deciding whether to keep this new system.
    Of course, use the elephant + dog video on your blog. Just indicate you
    found it on my blog with a link to me, if you don¹t mind.
    I am going to do a big piece on Darby¹s photos tomorrow. I love them all so
    much that I am completely overwhelmed. I just keep looking at them and want
    to laugh and cry at the same time.
