Can I just add: “Running and spinning in snow in Batman pajamas”?

Pokey has become lazy in oldage, and grumpy.
He’d probably bark or poke me until I leaped into a pile of leaves.
His idea of playing ball in recent years is him lying on the couch and pushing the ball off, so I can retrieve it.
And while I admit it wasn’t so great last year when I was in the hospital, he is now quite insistent that we get out, pokey me and thumping his paw. “You had enough of a vacation”, though I guess it really means I was unreliable so he’s still not sure we’ll get out to sniff and look for garbage and meet other dogs.

This is what the world needs right now.
Also reminds me of a joke…
What do you call a person with no arms and no legs who is hiding in a pile of leaves?

I’ll see myself out now…

The wagging tail really makes it.

Don’t know if it’s stupidity or trust, but jumping into a pile of leaves assuming it’s leaves all the way down can at some point have a bad ending. I hope she only jumps into approved piles.

I’d thought of that, not so safe if there are branches in there.
But I’m thinking some of it is staged, it seemed to be the same pile in most of the shots.

It makes me think of my sister’s old dog - get near any body of water other than a bathtub, and *SPLASH!* she was in.

I like the part where she jumped into the leaves.

This is pure meme material.
“Imma hit that like Stella hits a pile of leaves”

This is especially impressive when you have dogs doing it year round. As long as the water isn’t hard it’s warm enough for a bath. It’s not so fun when the ice is so thin they fall in and you have to try to get them out.

Kind of sad that the YouTube comments have to be turned off for a video of a dog jumping into a pile of leaves.

It’s hard to resist,. It makes me wonder if there’s a gene for leaf diving.

It is the periscope tail wagging that does it for me.
