Daily Dose of Cute

Here's a quick little video of Zelly-Belly being super cute and super sweet, which she is pretty much all the time (meetings with unknown dogs notwithstanding). She is just such a cuddlebug, and so clever and obedient, and such a happy little thing. She's an absolute joy to be around, and I love her to pieces.

[Zelda the Mutt lies on the floor of the living room, dog toys scattered all over the floor.]

Me [from behind camera]: Zelda! *kissy noises* [Zelda looks at me and her tail starts wagging] What are you doing? Can you come here? [She gets up and comes over to me.] Can you sit? [She sits against my leg.] Oh, what a good girl! Can you shake? [I put my hand out and she places her paw in it.] Oh, what a good girl! [I scratch her head and chin; she looks up at me cutely.] Are you such a good dog? Yes, you are. [I stop petting her and she looks at me.] What are you doing? Do you think we should go out for a walk? [She looks at me with perked-up ears.] Do you think?! [Cute look; perked ears.] D'ja want to go out? [Tilts head; perks ears.] Do you want a treat? [No reaction.] Do you just want to sit here and get head scratches? [I reach out my hand and she LEAPS! backwards excitedly, licking her lips and wagging her entire backside.] No! You want to go out?! [She hops around the living room with massive wigglebuttery.] Do you want to go out? Tell me. Should we go? [She leaps to the side, and watches me with wagging tail as I get up.] Okay, let's go. Let's go! [She looks at me, waiting for me to lead her to the door.] Let's go! Come on. *kissy noises* [I walk around to the front door. Sophie is standing there; she scurries out of my way.] Look, it's Sophs! [Zelda comes and stands by the door; in the background, Dudley can be heard shaking his head and flapping his ears as he rouses from a nap.] Are you a good girl? Can you sit? [I point my finger in Zelda's hand-sign for sit.] Sit. [She sits and looks at me patiently, waiting for me to put on her harness.] Oh, gooood girrrrrrl.
