If at first you don't succeed...
I'll just let Samantha entertain you ... add your own narration - surely there's some creative dialog in there ... mine's fled! :)

About Me
- Name: Seamus
- Location: somewhere in the Hill Country, Texas, United States
a whacked out, burned out ex-corporate slave & artistic wannabe, too young to vote with certainty, too old to vote without passion, too pissed off to care some days, sometimes rat-race dropout, sick of wet weather poster child for seasonal affective disorder, dilettante of the first order with ambitions of the third order and ideals of some dingus order - just an average one of us waiting for five o'clock!

lol....it's like a dog trying to gather it's toys, all at once...hehehe
Oh too funny!
if only she had expandable cheeks like a chipmunk!
Determination! What a great video. Wish you'd been able to capture the final victory. I'll bet it was excellent.
Oh geesh, she had me laughing. What a fun critter. Great camera work. :)
*thought bubble above her head*
"If only I had a bigger mouth or sticky paws!"
I'm sure every female has had that thought now and again... with respect to food. :P
That's so cute! She was very persistent!
Too bad she didn't have a pouch like a kangaroo!
It's good to see the fox, Seamus; I still miss mine.
Hahahaha....how cute!
that's hilarous, I love seeing nature in action
"Oh look, more bread! I'm on a roll! If only they would roll... can't seem to get 'em both in my mouth... have to carry 'em one by one down here to my den I reckon. I sense I'm being watched. Yep, it's that neked man with the square box attached to his eyeball watching me again. Funny how he always shows up same time the bread does! But he ain't as sly nor quick as this old fox. No siree!! Gotta get up pretty early in the mornin'...."
Go Samantha!
Oh, precious little vixen in the manger.... We girls NEED our carbs, dammit!
Such determination and such cleverness!
You say that in the she wins,
you mean she actually got both into her mouth somehow?
My mom's miniature red dachshund has learned a new trick (by herself, nobody taught her): She gets a mouthful of dog food, runs to mom's best rug, spews the half dozen or so kibbles out, sits down, and then dine on them with gusto, kibble after kibble. Next, she will be asking for silver!
Glad she won in the end! Lovely to watch.
A Super Video!!!!
And Samantha seemed to wonder why the roll wouldn't just..well, roll...and follow her and the other roll to the dinner table where no doubt another little group of hungry mouths were waiting to be fed...so glad that she won in the end...but then I never doubted her wily intellect!
Great one!!!
Sandi
Poor kid. If she only had two mouths--that would solve all of her problems!
I feel her pain and frustration. You wouldn't believe how many times I've wished that I had two mouths myself...
Ummm
Never actually.
That's zero times.
Nada.
Seamus ... you don't leave a shopping bag out for them to carry their goods in?? LOL!
