The Dog Spends most of its Day on the Couch from Ryan Cousineau on Vimeo.
One day I decided to film my dog while TLO and I went to work. As you can see, the result was the usual charming sleepy-dog video, but there was an amusing twist (which surely surprised the dog as much as us) in the middle. Watch the video before you read the rest of this post
The dog hardly ever falls behind the couch. In fact, when TLO got home that day, she couldn't figure out what the heck had happened to the couch cover. The video solved the mystery for her.
I used iStopMotion as an intervalometer: I shot a photo of the dog every 6 seconds, though the result you see here is considerably edited down. When I began, I had about 8 minutes of footage, and almost every chunk that I edited out consists of the dog sleeping, unmoving, on the couch.
So in fact this video shows a deceptively action-packed version of the dog's day.

I did the same thing once
I did the same thing once with the (then) cats, Ivan and his late adopted sister Kira. This was in 2000 or so, and digital photo technology was not so fancy, but I managed to capture a photo every 5 minutes all day long.
What I wound up with were about 107 photos of Ivan and Kira asleep on the couch (motionless), and 1 photo of Kira asleep on the couch and Ivan looking out the window.
. . . Which didn't at all explain how some papers on the coffee table were all pushed onto the floor, the cats' water dish was dumped upside down, and a lamp in the bedroom was knocked onto the floor and broken. It's as if they knew perfectly how to time their mayhem between shots, and then return to their exact position before the next one.
Just like my dog
That's funny, our german shepherd puppy does the same thing!
