ps. I'm all for ending the monarchy. Though what is your title? Since you rule the world and all.

We had to laugh when your mum said you were at the corner....How could you even tell hehehe..I know we keep going on about the snow and we're sorry but it really blows us away. It looks so light.
We really have enjoyed all the walking videos. Winter in Eastern Canada sure looks interesting.

Sophie Girl!

In response to your finale video I'm roaching in the snow. So that's 4 paws up. I love the symbolism ~ your tail swishing back and forth reminding us how fleeting each moment is ~ the crunchy footsteps evoking the inevitability of hoomanity marching on as one among them struggles... with her ball ~ you stopping at the corner and pausing to reflect... which way will you turn at this crossroads.

Very existential. A masterpiece!

Goober love,
Stanley

We loved the fact that you had your ball with you the entire time! You sure do love that ball, Sophie!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

So I guess this was some sort of art film, huh, since you left the ending a puzzle.

Where did that doggie go who was on the sidewalk? He kind of vanished into the air.

I saw you were careful to leave a pee mark so you could find your way home again.

I hope we see more movies soon.

Slobbers,
Mango

Lola Smiles said...

Tuffie: was very impressed with the 'pee mark' - letting know that other dog that you 'rule' the hood! YEAH BABY!

Us Tuff Girls rock. Yes, we do.

Been too cold though the last couple of nights to go out for a walk. Let's hope the cold snap ends oon.

I sure wish it had a Hollywood ending and you would walk around a corner and there I'd be!! In a Parka. With a Heater. And some hot white chocolate drink.

OMD...Stan and I just read Gooberstan's comment and we um totally agree.

What did he say, anyway?

OK...

Brava! The ending lingers... we found ourselves pondering the nature of the human condition. The K9 condition is much simpler: FUN! Like you! :)

ps
Thanks for the link to the EU sculptural piece. We like the spirit of the work--if it just looked better. ;)

Agatha and Archie said...

OMG we went to look at all the films and they say this video no longer exists..WE MISSED ALL OF THEM......it is all this weathers fault and Arch says also the snow plows fault( just humor him) Love A+A

Stanislaw said...

I love a good trilogy + 1.

Have you considered entering this into any film contests? Humans love to see a happy dog bum wag!

wally said...

Oh no Sophs! Which blog is crashing your browser? B4B or the original one? Do you think the powers that be are our afraid of our Canadamerica unification plan and they are blocking your access???

Eric said...

Arts cinema at it's best. I would like to single out the props guys.Simply splendid. The snow looked almost real. And the continuity, magnifique.

Wags, Eric xx

Sophie!
We are glad we stopped by. I didn't know you had so much talent! You beautifully mastered walking your owner! Nice work!

What a great series, will there a second?

wally said...

Sophie,

Yeah, you didn't see me because you know how for the State of the Union someone important can't be there just in case something bad happens? Yup. I am so key in the chain of command that I couldn't be risked.

wally t.

P.S. And I totally need one of those little pink and orange outfits!

wally said...

Sophie,

We will send our President on a Charm Offensive to take over the northern states of Canadamerica. Unlike our last President who would have bombed first, ask questions (during waterboarding) later.

G'day Sophie,

It suwe looks cold whewe you awe! My teefies would be fweezing, twying to hold a ball. You awe bof right about PG: she is good and evil, but look a little closer, she's not a tabby.

dewdana said...

Awww! I see she is trained to sit at the intersections (when she can see them in all the snow!). What a good girl! Moose is so jealous of her getting to go for a walk (he is still not allowed) AND with snow no less! We give it two thumbs up!
