Grrr. Spike's always especially intense about the cat herding first thing in the morning when he hasn't seen them for a few hours. Drives me fucking nuts. He just attempted a very complicated, fast flip and switch sort of move, intended to put himself between Blade and the bedroom door in less time than it took Blade to run three feet.

It might have worked on a larger scale, with sheep and better footing, but what actually happened was a long moment of paws scrabbling on linoleum Wile E. Coyote fashion, culminating in a foot in the water bowl which flipped into the air, soaking Spike, me, three cats and the dog crate.

He was so embarrassed that he didn't even protest at the longest downstay of his entire life.


Blade and Spike



I took the camera on a dog walk yesterday and just kept the video setting running. I've got six minutes of dog walk fun including a guest appearance by the Helyar Road Terriers and Spike jumping to the top of a six foot fence, but it came to 113mb and it's too big to upload anywhere. Anyone got any ideas? I know not everyone would want to see it but I think I have a few friends that would, and I'd dearly love to give them the choice. The terriers were exceptionally cute.

What is the format? If it's AVI, Myrddyn found me a program yesterday that will turn them into MPEG's, which reduces the size to about a third.

System requirement is Windows, but if you go here:

You can read all about it and it has a free trial version.

On size...


If size is still a problem, send me an email ( so I can confirm some details to you!) and I can host it for you. just tell me if FTP is a mystery to you.... (G)

Re: On size...


Always lovely to hear from you :)

I used [livejournal.com profile] gwenhyffar's suggestion to convert it to an .avi file and that brought it under the limit for Youtube, so I'm all right.

I have used FTP - I have a small chunk of webspace that comes free with my broadband - but I wouldn't say it wasn't a mystery to me. You know how technically-inept I am...

heh! the pic was from earlier... Blade likes playing in the dog crate, bless him. The bars are fun for small ninja cats to climb.
