Is there something in your life, that can get your attention in a split second? Something so unbelievably wonderful and addicting, to the point where it’s become an obsession? I have that certain something.
It’s called a flashlight.
Yep. A simple flashlight. It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small, or yellow or blue (it happens that mine is yellow). If I can see the flashlight, its got my attention. Serious attention.
I love chasing lights… I just can’t help myself. I love it so much, that I can literally spin myself silly! The only thing is, the light has to be on the floor, not on the walls or the ceiling. I need to be able to reach it. π
I’ll do anything you want — just say the word & hold the flashlight.
Come on, shine the light!
I command you to move!
I’ve got this under control.
Light-shining party’s moving to the living room.
Bailey vs the Flashlight Silly alert: Spots on my back starting at the 1:42 mark.
Oh yeah… try to ignore the obnoxious cackling in the background. My family always gets a little silly watching me chase the light.
See? I told you. My attention? It follows the light.
My friend Kim from Life at Golden Pines reminded me that my daddy used to use a laser, and I went crazy with that little red light… until the battery died. That’s when they started to use the flashlight. I wonder if my daddy ever gets a new battery, if I’ll enjoy that little red light more than the flashlight..? Hmmmm.
So there you have it — my mommy’s trick for getting me to do stuff (well, that’s if she’s not using food). I remember when mommy was teaching me to come… there were a few times (OK many times), where I wouldn’t come back inside the house after running out in the backyard. Mommy would take the flashlight out, and shine it onto the grass. I would see it and follow the light right into the house.
I gotta say… that was pretty smart. Maybe that was the beginning of my infatuation…
Happy Monday, friends! Big woofs & hugs!

Hey Bailey,
Nope, I don’t know why they’re laughing at you either, that puzzled look on your face with your ears on top of your head is so cute!
Glad to see you’re having fun buddy,
Your pal Snoopy π
You are too cute with that light! Kolchak is a big fan of a laser pointer. He goes cuckoo-bananas over it.
Love the video!!! That is funny! Looks like fun! Lots of love, Debbie & Holly
Sounds like mommy needs to do a comparison test: flashlight vs. laser! Bailey we just love your enthusiasm when it comes to “grabbing” the light spot…imagine the fun with a klieg light!
Haha… I had no idea what a klieg light was, and neither did mommy! She had to go look it up. I think I’d have an AWESOME time with that light! π
My predacessor also loved lights. It got so bad that my family could not use flashlights when they went camping. They had to use lanterns. That is why they have not used a laser pointer to train me! But I am glad it works for you!!! Great to have a good tool. I prefer treats!
Puppy Kisses,
Tanner
BOL oh Bailey! Cheese is better
Benny & Lily
You sure do loveeeeeeeeee the flashlight a lot.. hehehhehee.. i am too old to be bothered with flashing lights. The only thing that could get my attention is probably food π
Hope you’ll have a wonderful week ahead π
Hehe! A flashlight! That is funny! Good for you Bailey!
You are such a fun girl sweet Bailey!
And here me thought dat only cats chased da flashlight!!! (Is you part cat, Bailey?)
We has to try dat!! Looks like fun.
Me a kitty?! No wayyyy! Teehee!!
Silly Bailey! I worry too much about using lights to play with my girls – dogs can be dangerously addicted to them. Lola loves her boomer ball though!
Oh Bailey you are hilarious! BOL! Do it again! π
Waggin at ya,
Roo
Thanks for the grin to start my day!! I think I’m going to have to try the flashlight with our boy Todd–He loves the little laser pointer, but you’ve convinced me that this might be a bit more fun for him!!
PS: – I get a lot of spam on my blog too…
OOOH! Don’t start me with a laser! I LOVE them (until the battery ran out on my daddy’s laser — that’s when they started to use the flashlight). π
That’s so cool! I had a cat that went crazy chasing flashlights too! Smart thinking using the flashlight to get you in the house. π
