6 Things You Need to Know Before Watching This Video:

1. I do not usually sound like an 80-year old lady when I open my mouth as I do at the opening of this clip.
2. Lucy started doing...strange things...with her ball after she saw us maneuvering it like a soccer ball to keep it away from her. I think she tried to mimic our footwork? The first time I saw her do this I laughed probably very disproportionately to how funny it actually was. Maybe you will laugh disproportionately as well. BONDING EXPERIENCE!
3. I do not like Rachael Ray. But my dogs love her BOOscotti cookies. Dog Bellies=FTW. Grudge Against Annoying Levels of Pep and Superfluous Hand Gestures?=FAIL.
4. "You're not giving away our water pick!" ... "SERENITY NOW!!!" 
5. Sometimes there are crumbs in my toaster oven.
6. Ricky is mysteriously terrified of walking on the wood floor about 8.5 times out of 10.
