What is your favorite way to play outside with your dogs during the fall season? Tell me all about it in the comments below! ➡️ Follow RFSDan: http://www.youtube.com/rfsdan 🐾Shop Our Calendars and Coloring books: https://etsy.me/4u1qnr6 🎥 Previous Vlog: https://youtu.be/vz_7x9qgCPE ➡️ What Happened to Kira: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iMwk1u5QJE It was a wildly exciting and beautiful November day here in Northern Michigan! We started the morning by spotting a massive Coopers hawk right in our backyard. We actually had to use Google Lens to figure out exactly what it was because the crows were going absolutely crazy making so much noise! Eleanor was fully on high alert doing her best pointer stance while we watched all the wild birds from the window. It is so interesting watching how she reacts to the wildlife around our home!
Later in the afternoon, we tried to get Eleanor hyped up for a massive fall leaf pile! Jamie built a huge pile in the yard, but she just wanted to play on the backyard swing instead! We had to bring out the big guns to get her zooming. Jamie actually put on a full suit to surprise her in the leaves, and it totally worked! She got so excited and immediately started playing. She also spent a solid twenty minutes practicing her hockey goalie skills with the custom TPU hockey balls Jamie 3D printed for her. She is so smart and selectively ignores the blue one every single time!
We wrapped up the day with Dan before he heads home. We grabbed our absolute favorite Reuben sandwiches from the family deli, using that delicious Detroit Marble Rye bread, and enjoyed some Aldi grandma candies. Eleanor got her favorite bully stick after very politely asking for it by staring at her treat jar! She has been doing so incredibly well adjusting to everything lately, and we are just so proud of her. Life is short, Make memories with your dogs!

I'm going to have to confirm what kind of bird this is.
I'm filming through the window
so it's going to look a little grainy, but I think you're
right, hon.
I think it's a hawk.
Yeah, it's definitely a hawk.
I'm pretty sure it is.
Oh, there he went.
He's looking away, or looking down there,
so I didn't see where he flew off to without
seeing any tree.
I feel like he went down.
He may have.
He may be in Tina's yard.
Well, good, wonderful, beautiful morning, audience.
Apparently, a hawk visited the yard this morning.
He didn't get anything, thankfully, but he's out there.
Are you ready?
Squirrel went up the tree, hawk's out of the yard.
Go!
Three, two, one, yeah, you saw the squirrel.
I don't know where he went,
but we did Google Lens him because I got a photo, which wasn't
the greatest photo, but I can insert it here,
and we Google Lensed it because we want to
know what kind of hawk it was, and it said it was a Cooper's hawk.
So, a Cooper's hawk visited the yard this morning.
It's got to be.
That's a squirrel.
It's got to be around here somewhere.
That was pretty cool.
Nice. Also, it rained last night.
Also, Dan is still here. Today's Dan's last day here.
He extended his trip two days, but I, I saw him up there.
Yeah. I heard him make all that noise.
I'm like, oh, and then that's a squirrel.
Yeah, that was pretty. I don't know.
I mean, I know I've seen one before, but like, yeah, that close. Yeah.
Right in the eye.
We don't know if he was going for the
squirrels or the other birds because
the internet said they also go after other birds.
You got the noise it makes? Yeah, they have a few different noises.
With the Merlin app? Yeah. Maybe he'll come back.
I doubt it,
but I'll call him in here. Crazy.
Oh, you got the crow yelling. You definitely got the crow yelling.
Oh, Eleanor's doing the pointer stance. Oh, she already stopped.
Oh, I bet they're fighting back over here. They're loud.
Oh, it sounds like they're out front.
Where the hawk got something and the crow is mad.
And the crow is mad, yeah.
That'll be it too.
Birds are interesting.
Found the crow.
He's mad about something.
That crow was also in the backyard when we saw the hawk.
See you later, bye.
I don't know where you're going.
Maybe go find him.
Different tree.
Hey, do you want to start a new tradition?
Do you?
Do you want to start a new tradition?
You probably should because I have a whole entire bag of these.
But you aren't as big of a fan.
Like, you like them.
But not like she, that's what I thought.
Not like she did. I'll leave it out here for you.
You can eat it if you want and if not, another critter will eat it.
Oh, do I have to go inside
and not lick it? Okay, let me do that.
Oh, you thought about it. You licked it,
but then you saw me. All right, get in here.
Come on. As I said, you just want yours inside
and not outside or you just don't want to be on camera
while you're eating it? Because now
you've nibbled it twice,
but every time I turn the camera on, you stop. Fine,
I won't be camera shy. That's fine.
I'll leave you alone so you can eat it.
Eleanor's practicing to become a goalie.
Did you hear her listen for it to land, though?
She's like, I heard it land.
Now I've got to check this ball, check this ball.
Oh, there's another ball.
Get it out.
Get it.
Yeah.
Good job.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Isn't she weird?
It's a specific type of ball.
It's, it's...
She doesn't want the blue one.
She wants those, which is they're like soft.
What's really funny is I can actually print more.
I can print them.
They're that TPU material.
That's actually what they're made out of.
She's like, no, I have them all.
Oh, this one moved.
I'm taking this one.
That one moved.
I'm taking that one.
Uh-oh.
Did it go under there?
Here, we got one over here, though.
She's like, I'm just gonna chew on it, and then spit it up.
Not the blue one.
Look, she avoided that blue one again.
You get it?
Drop it.
And she's not afraid of the hockey stick.
I know, I feel like I need to get a little mini net.
Good job.
I'm going for the next one.
No, that one moved again.
Yeah, I know. That's what I was shooting them out of.
I know. That's what they were doing.
Oh, oh, oh. Dropped it. Moved.
Did it make you happy?
Are you going to bring one back?
We lost one. One went under the couch. We had to find it.
She's like, it's right here. I can't reach it.
It's right here. I can't reach it.
You made it worse.
She did.
There's four of them, but I want that one that's under the couch.
That's the one. That's the one.
Yep.
This was also Shelby's favorite toy was this Nerf gun.
Yeah, this is actually Eleanor's.
I have Shelby's in a secret in my office.
But Eleanor played with it once so I ordered her one from eBay.
I need to get more of those balls because as you can tell,
she just tears them up.
I don't know if I'll be able to find it on the security camera
but apparently chipmunk or squirrel friend or maybe even both.
Something came and started nibbling the pumpkins.
It got the lid and it ate Kira's little paws.
You can see there's like a little pumpkin everywhere.
So, hey, they're feeding the animals.
It's gonna be 70 degrees today,
so I don't think these are gonna last for too long.
But uh, I think it's cute that the critters got to munch on it.
It's not ready yet, Elle. What are you doing?
We figured since we...
Had the leaves and it was kind of sunny out.
Amy's gonna try to make for the backyard leaf pile.
Because apparently, we're gonna do the leaf video.
Even if it's only the one dog.
We're gonna make it work, right?
She's like, I might play in those leaves.
I just might.
We gotta get the big pile and then we'll set her loose.
I mean, she's loose right now.
We'll get her going. She's ready.
She's like, as soon as you're ready dad, I'm gonna go nuts.
Is that your vantage point?
Says, that's my vantage point.
It's your kingdom now, sweetheart.
Pretty sure I can jump in this leaf pile.
Are you gonna leap and go crazy?
It's like as soon as you get me all amped up I will.
Hi Dan. Are you also gonna jump in the leaf
pile? Oh for sure. What do you got?
It's like from Chip and Dale. It's like a full. Oh my gosh. It's
like a full one. Are you taking it home with you?
Which one's the, what part's the peanut? It's not
a peanut. It's an acorn. Which part's the part you eat?
Technically the part inside of there.
Okay. But don't eat it.
But yes, if you open that up, it's kind of like cracking a peanut
or a walnut. There's another nut inside there.
Or there's a nut seed or whatever it is inside
there. Gotcha. But they're not very good. Which one?
What's this called? Acorn. Do we eat acorn
peanuts? Yes, lots of people do, but you roast them first.
Otherwise they're yucky. They're
very bitter. Oh, okay. Yeah, they're very bitter.
You could try it, but I don't think you'd be happy
with it. But it's not like we're not going
and getting like Planters, acorn nuts. No, no, no.
That was a serious question.
I know, I know. That was a serious answer. I wasn't picking on you.
You can make acorn flour too.
You can actually take those and turn them and make flour out of
them and people bake stuff. You are going to take it home with you.
Yeah, I have a little collection
of stuff. Yeah, all the weird things.
The things that you don't get. I better go get some cameras
because I think she'll go for it. Yeah, I think so too. You did it hon.
That's a pile.
I'm gonna go grab cameras.
She's like, oh my goodness.
She's like, oh it's a leaf pile, but it's dad.
Oh my goodness!
You need to do some zoomies?
Let's do some zoomies.
That was all of it, huh? That was your excitement level?
That's it. She's like, okay,
somebody needs to run. She's like, oh
hi dad.
Eleanor! Come here!
Get in there! Get in there!
Yes! Get in there!
Get in there! Get in there!
What's in there?
She's like, I feel like I did this the other day.
Say, chase her.
She'll go.
There it is.
Watch the hole.
Yep.
Here she goes.
There she goes.
Oh my goodness.
She's chasing you.
And then she'll do zoomies.
And she should jump in the pile.
You gotta run.
I'm coming.
I'm gonna get ya.
I'm gonna get ya.
I'm gonna get ya.
I'm gonna get ya.
I'm gonna get ya.
Ready?
Ready?
I'm coming.
I'm coming for you.
It's weird with one dog.
You gonna jump?
What?
Go, go, go.
Nope, dad's on the swing.
Is that it? You don't want to play on the leaf pile?
You just want to play on the swing?
What are you doing?
That's it. That's all she wants.
We can try the suit.
We could try the suit.
It might get her hyped up.
I think it'll get her hyped up.
It's also a little warm.
It is a little warm.
So it's up to you if you want to put it on.
I'm trying.
All right.
It's kind of wet.
It feels good.
Right?
It's the right consistency.
Look, if she's just watching you, she's like...
What do you think, El?
Do we need to get the suit out?
She's like, I don't know what all you want from me. I'm happy.
She is very pretty, isn't she?
I know it's interesting when there's only one dog.
You can really look at her and go, wow, you are pretty.
She's like, I already knew that though.
She's like, dad, you got to swing.
Make the swing swing.
You got to put your arm underneath her and hold her to you.
There you go.
And now she wants you to swing.
That's what she wants.
I don't know why she likes to swing, but she does.
She's like, it's so fun.
I know.
And you only get up there when nobody else is up there.
I have seen you jump up there one time.
Well, nobody was up there.
She wants in the pool. That's what she really wants.
Alright, so we're gonna see if this works now.
We've stepped up the game.
You ready for this? Go, El! Go!
Get him! Go! Get him! Get him!
Get him! She does like you in that.
Amp her up! Yeah!
Get him! Get him!
Get him! Get him!
Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go!
Here she comes!
She's like, um, are you insane?
Get in there, El.
Get in there!
That wiggle!
Get him, Eleanor!
Get him!
Yeah!
Good girl!
Get him!
Get him!
Here she comes!
And she's distracted.
Here she comes!
Here she comes!
Here she comes!
Happy to see you!
She's just like, this is so great!
Hey
guys!
There's me!
There's me!
Come here!
Come here!
Come here!
Come here!
Come here!
Come here!
Come here!
Come here!
Come here!
Apparently, Eleanor just needs a friend to play in the leaf pile.
Come here!
Come here!
Oh my goodness!
That's what it is. She already had a leaf pile.
She's like, I don't need two leaf piles.
Come on, get in there.
I know, that's your favorite toy.
It's like your favorite toy, huh?
You see it? You gotta let me have it. You gotta let me have it.
Hey, let it go.
I think we wore her out again.
It's been like 20 minutes of her panting.
What is today? The third?
It's the end of November and we have the air-conditioning on.
She's like, ah, yeah, it's too hot in here.
I'm back to panting.
I know she really wanted us to open the pool.
She kept running to the gate.
I wish we could have.
Sorry, next year.
I brought Eleanor back out here to end the clip of her playing
and there's a squirrel in the yard.
So I'm right here.
I already told him to get out of the yard twice, but he has not.
And she is in her glory watching
the squirrel.
Look at her go.
Look at that, look at that motion.
Slow movement, stalking, she's still over there.
Oh, oh, there's a half of a moment where she thought she was gonna run.
I don't know how close you think you're gonna get,
but I'm not giving you that much of a chance.
Run squirrel, run!
I think they see each other now.
I don't know where she wants to go.
I was like, I'm gonna, uh-oh.
She's gonna have a whole heck of a lot of fun in a second here.
Oh my goodness, this is crazy.
Skrull's going. Eleanor's watching.
Squirrel's going. It's almost to the tree.
Eleanor's watching. It made it.
It made it up the tree. You can go find him.
She's still like, I gotta walk slow.
What if he's right here? He could be right here.
Yeah, he got away from you.
You didn't even get to run. Just come up here
and stare at the jar. You magically
get a blue stick. I know it's weird
because you normally take your stuff out.
Go ahead. You can take it.
Take it. There you go.
Find your spot and enjoy your bully stick.
Gee, how did I know you were gonna go right there?
Yeah, I feel like this is the only truth. Except everybody ate one.
I have a picture. Do you? Okay, that's good. Was it good?
Yeah.
We're eating, um, we're calling them grandma candies from Aldi.
These things,
if you can get them from your Aldi, they're
really good. They're really good, aren't they?
Aren't they?
Mm-hmm.
Except I'm trying to make you talk with your mouth full.
Oh, my God, this is terrible.
You could have that half of one if you want it.
I'll heat it back up for you.
I did eat a whole Reuben already.
You did, but...
Reuben's a thing.
Yeah, but if you want that half of one,
do you want me to heat it up for you?
This usually ends every trip.
Yeah.
And like always, these are the only Reubens I have.
You've never had another one, have you?
We tried to make them one time, and it wasn't the same.
But I've never went to a restaurant and purchased a Reuben.
This is my one and only...
Right? Reuben. Only El Pino Reubens. Yeah.
Take five deli Reubens. Yeah, so it ends, it ends the trip.
I'll heat it up for you if you want.
We got the good bread this time. We did. Detroit Marble Rye.
Wait, where is it? Oh, it's right here. This.
It's from michiganbread.com. Yeah, that's the bread.
Yeah, that's the Detroit Marble Rye.
So yeah, it was really good. Thank you so much. And we got
the good potato salad. Yeah. Wait, it's not hot.
Is it hot? No, no, the stove is not hot. Nothing
That thing says H5 on there.
Thank you.
Good as always.
Do you want me to heat it up for you?
Yeah.
Is that good?
I notice you're a little bit slower when you eat this.
Is it because you don't think anybody's going to take it away from you?
Because I could take it away from you.
Or do you see that I have food in my hand
and you're not sure if I'm going to feed you what's in my hand?
She's enjoying her bully stick that she's got.
You asked for it.
I guess you can have it.
At least you learned how to do that.
She learned to ask for her bully stick and how to ask for her toy.
I don't know who taught you that.
I think she's happy.
I think she's happy.
I think she's done really really good over the last few days.
I think she has too. Starting with
the night before Halloween. Yeah.
And she laid down there while we had the Dremel tools going
and it was loud and new people you know just.
Yeah she did really good. Halloween night as well.
She's like I'll get my confidence back. Won't you?
You want a bite of that? No you can't have a bite
of that sorry. Are you ready for it? Hey Dan.
Yeah. Wish I got to take a night last night.
Oh, oops.
All right, I mean.
Tradition. Surprise!
Surprise!
Surprise! I guess I'll
give you a good night clip. Eleanor's way
back there. Here, you know what to say.
How about you just do it? Oh yes. Thanks
for watching. Thanks for subscribing.
Stay positive. Dream big.
And we'll see you again soon. Or right
after this next clip for the next video. Yeah.
Because now we have to start a new one. Bye
Pawdience! Eleanor's chasing
squirrels. Totally chasing squirrels.
