This post isn't about just any old Snowball, or else Patrick and Sponge Bob wouldn't be that excited. In case you haven't been formally introduced, the Snowball in the following video is a bird. And he's not just any old bird, mind you, but a bird who loves to dance!
Someone sent me a link to a video last summer with Snowball dancing to the Backstreet Boys (he's picky about his music, but fortunately his taste has matured;-), and now they have a video of him dancing to Christmas music! You can tell that he really loves "Sleigh Ride," "Joy to the World" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." What he does with his forelock/comb/bangs in one of those numbers is priceless! ;-)
What is even more special about Snowball is that he is a rescue bird, and as such, he's living proof that rescue animals are gems. When he arrived in rescue, the people who brought him in, also brought his favorite CD's, and when the rescue personnel saw what he did when they played his music for him, they were happily stunned. Now, apparently, millions of people are happily stunned right along with them. As a consequence of his dancing ability, Snowball has become a celebrity on television shows and at other functions, and he has also become, in effect, the poster boy for bird rescue.
The real ornaments of any home are the people who live there, and if they're really blessed, the pets who live with them. Snowball is no exception in that case.
So do yourselves a favor and click on the following link for Snowball dancing to Christmas Music. The one below that is Snowball dancing to the Backstreet Boys. It looks like he has an actual routine in that one. Plus it has close to two million hits on You-Tube. Watch one, watch them both, but whatever you pick, ENJOY!
Oh, and please come back and let me know what you think. Thanks! :-)
