It's a Dog's Life

[hollycom]

aww

[Vegan007]

they are silos. they store grain

[kwmq8]

he zack i have a doberman puppy 9 weeks old who just wont stop defacating in my house, i take him outside for 15 minutes every hour is there another way

[macgirlxox]

help otherjuicystar07 plz!

[whitey211]

My GPS is my god. I get lost crossing the street so I absolutely need it.

[oly355]

@whitey211 well, it's kind of the problem.. yeah, a GPS IS something really good, but if you rely too much on this, one day, you may not be able to use one and you will have a lot of problem there.

[nightblade2100]

what kind a disc are you using

[Zehrrien]

@nightblade2100 He uses a Fastback frisbee.

[Moccachinnoz]

He's not stupid!!! y r u calling people names??!! whats ur problem?

[jjm842]

he is so stupid i like the dogs but not him

[JustWillow8]

wow....that's really polite. <----sarcasm

Zak George is awesome, why are you being such a jerk?

[kabamyo]

iloveeyou :)

[LollyPoopYay]

Why the hell are you drinking in pitch darkness? haha its like black ...

[giterdidgr16]

those are grain bins or silos and they store corn. and they also keep it dry so it doesn't rot. also your dogs and u are awesome.

[BorderProductions92]

Did ya have fun in Wisconsin? I think its boring living here. lol

[bwholzschuh]

Silos is right, Dude. The tubes are elevators to move the corn. It's kind of like a giant water slide, without the water,...or the chance of living through it

[Rebelchikaa]

After watching several videos, I finally found one where ZAK is being funny! YAY! I knew he was funny. I definitely need to get a GPS, I always get lost.

Miami,FL.

[GaeaAntheia]

I love going anywhere here in Iceland, kind of a road trip I guess...just not as long as yours hehe I can drive all around Iceland over one day..but you don't stop much so that ain't no fun.

[iplehguitar]

there's hybrid cars you know

you can either use gas on it or use wind power on the highways

[JenJuvenile]

Getting lost while we're on the road is all part of the adventure! A GPS would take the fun out of it. ;)

[Sharrar21]

haha i guess 20 hour drives make you pretty bored

[Shadowsphinx]

i think u drink in your videos sometimes and use a pop can to make us think you aren't lol. lvoe u zak

[lissalotte]

In Eygipt they are calld silos...

[WolfOfShadows1986]

same here.

[tibianca]

Vc fala demais cara,é um exibido!

[kj4ddm]

You do realize that TOLLS are tax deductible when traveling for business purposes...ask for a RECEIPT at the TOLL BOOTH next time...they add up over the year and will buy more discs and treats for the dogs...just a thought. Also, be careful of GPS systems especially in urban areas. Apparently criminals in large urban areas have figured out the common routes that take tourists/travelers through bad parts of town and set up traps.

[calicopanthra]

yep that's a grain silo. gps is USEUALLY a good thing, we have a one, and we blew tire one day and it took us to a walmart that hadn't been built yet. and it has taken up places that no longer exist, and when i went to pick up my rescue rats it drove us through national wild life reserve, soo it's nice but can have some issues.

[castapod]

I just can't see the darned thing (gps that is), I use the handheld when hiking here in Ak but I'd drive off the road if I was trying to read one on my dashboard.

[Robster305]

yea its a silo LOL

[jayroc12345]

i agree gps systems are the best!!

[WowItsShelly]

they hold corn and their just basically a place to keep corn

and yes they do just put corn inside of the and no they aren't silows (silows are smaller)

[timtanguay]

we are in fact at the point where we can convert cars to use hydrogen, BUT its very very expensive. :)

[timtanguay]

Wind Power is not a feasible method of powering a car, because it would require batteries to store the power. Batteries are impractical, because for every 1 lb of gasoline you carry, you need 50 lbs of batteries! Eventually, we will probably get to the point where we can process water into hydrogen for hydrogen fuel cell cars (which are basically a glorified battery) which are very low impact on the environment.

[underthebildin]

they emit noothing but water, they're not low impact, they're no impact lol

[timtanguay]

Nothing is ever no impact. The car itself will still take a lot of resources to manufacture, battery cars (i.e hyrdrogen) There will be a fair amount of emissions just creating the car. Even creating the Hydrogen to power the car requires energy. As of yet, most places are reliant on hydrocarbons to power hydrogen plants. Unless you live off the grid and manufacture your own hydrogen using wind and solar power, your h2 car will still have a large impact on the environment.

[underthebildin]

yeah, but what i am saying is the car itself running only emits water, therefore its not low impact it is infact no impact

[MatthewH1215]

A good gps is well worth the money for anyone, and those towers (you are correct) are called grain silo's. I've done a bit of rescue training in them on the fire department. Wish I would have checked this earlier, I live in Michigan and my girl friend is from WI and has family there, we would have come to check out the show. Nice blog, thanks and keep em comin.

[digger96]

I use maps. You know, they make maps for everyplace! :-) Now with online maps they're reasonably up-to-date, and you can even print directions for specific street addresses. I have a Garmin Trex, but I only use it for lat/long coordinates... it doesn't even have maps.

[sherry05260]

the cheapest gas here in L.A. is about $4.45

[WowItsShelly]

its 4.05 here in ohio

[FlowingGeisha]

LOL Parogie sounds like Perogie. You bet you're a hunny Zak. I thought you said steak for stay LOL. Yay! I would play frisbee. Processing corn in huge barrels? Nah it's more likely grain storage. I love GPS and that farm barrel question is more male related. I have one parent who likes to use the sick maps.

[Bujar50]

they hold grain and there is a agar at the end.

[canadianchick74]

Good video. I love road trips! No GPS in this household. Maps work quite well! lol Have a great show and Happy July 4th!

[MalditosPendejos]

freaky night vision!

[spgwhisenhunt]

That's right, corn, chicken feed, or other grain products. Also wood chips for Fiber boards. I also own a GPS, and they come in handy if you program them with the right states and stuff. Good luck at the event, wish i was there!

[bigfoot1486]

yes, they hold corn (most often corn), or other grains too. and yes, they're called silo's.

[mikkeinps]

GPS is awesome, I am on my second one,,,I gave my old one away to a skeptic and now she is hooked

[brookie282]

Dude....don't get drunk! :) Beers bad for you! Good luck with the dogs!

[sturgeostic]

i too think its called a "silo"...almost positive... nice vid. keep em comin...

[roxansudo]

if you actually think you know where you should go, follow your own directions, gps has made me late plenty of times, the book, if close to date is still better!! you can choose alternatives. looks like fun anyway!!!

[BartoMoFo]

I have a "Tom Tom" GPS Unit. It has not been that great. It will find all the great restaurants. However, the last time I was to go to the zoo it took me a totally different way.

GPS is good if you review the map route.

[lexmic]

I like asking for directions. The locals know best.

[rlepine]

Did you see America's Got Talent last night? They had a man with his dog and he did dog trick like you do, but he was far worst. However he made it to the finals!

[hartnell114]

id love to have gps and i dont even drive! :D

the silver storage units (silo) might be for holding things for the crops,water or storage units related to the wind farm? i...dont know lol :D wisconsin...keep out! lol :)

[Jodiebirdinabocks]

Yay Nova!

[SapphireGoat]

I hate that toll way thing.. I pass it almost every day, and I think it looks so out of place. What do you think?

[wolfydan121]

zac, would you ba able to do a vid on how to teach your dog to take a bow? lol, as my dog already says please, he should be able to have the manners to say thanks too!

[bydee]

great

[Hamilt0n76]

Don´t complain on your gasprice, 1 gallon costs ~$4. In Sweden 1 gallon cost ~$8.30 and thats crazy.. I think we have the highest taxes on gas in the world.

Anyway.. thanks 4 another great video :)

[CrazycatExtreme]

It would be easier to have solar powered cars than wind powered cars.

[CrazycatExtreme]

I wouldn't recommend it. It annoys me. It talks too much.

[Venus50]

We had three 'silos' on our farm. The grain (corn in the Nebraska cornbelt) goes into the top of the silo via an auger (now there's another word for you vocabulary!). There is a 'door' at the bottom also. When ours were empty, we liked to go in and play in them. Yeah, we were not suppose to be inside the silos! LOL! The whole picture there is called a grain elevator.

You are probably passing by my sister's home in Illinois. The sometimes drive to Wisconsin for a great fish dinner.

[Wazgear]

Going to be in LaCrosse... 70 miles from me... And no call... Hmmmm..

LOL.

jg

[pajamadude15]

hey Zak, are you going to be on the show America's Greatest Dog?? There are tons of people that are going to be on there with their dogs doing talent shows and showcasing their dogs. When I saw it, I thought of you.

[Okedolkle]

GPS units can be very handy (if you so choose to use one) and, in the future, (way into probably) they will be quite useful in navigating around traffic snarls and tie-ups.

I used a GPS system while in C.A.P. when doing ELT searches. The system used to report my (real-time)location to other units involved in the search. It's called APRS and is still in use today by emergency response folks and communicators like amateur radio operators.

[SparklingStar123]

My dad has got a new car and it came with sat nav as standard. We go on holiday alot and it really helps to find places to eat and places to fill up the car and the parks are good to find a place to let the dog for a quick run

[mydogisfunny]

Supernova is sooooooooo cute!!!

[HereMyGo]

Those are grain elevators...not necessarily just for Corn. Basically trucks come in, dump their grain at the base, and then a large auger is used to take it to the top where it gets put into the respective bins.

[wildbrain03]

Awesome! Cant wait to see video from your performance!

[softballpuma]

yea, i think "those things" are for corn. I think that they are! i am not sure! great dogs Zak!

[Sachmeth]

Too bad I live in Germany... :) I'd love to see you and your dogs perform!

[geyser]

GPS?! Useless when it comes to finding my glasses...

[highflyingdom]

yes i'll try to make it out to riverfest. i would love to see your dogs perform. as for a GPS i have had 3 and they are so useful. in recent years they have improved. i remember our first one giving us long detours or telling us that its somewhere where it really isn't. it got close but it wasn't exactly right.

good luck in La Crosse!

[2wildchildzmom]

We just bought a second gps! One for the car and a handheld for Geocaching. Love them, don't know how I survived without one. As for gas, check out the HHO convertors they have available now, run your van on water! sortof.... Beer, yes you need better taste in beer, try OBI-1, a great organic beer, no pesticides that give you hangovers.

[AjaPuppy1]

i think those gps's are awesome and cool, my only problem with them is the price

[ebenz47037]

Those "towers" are grain elevators. There's one down the road from my house.

I love traveling. But, I've never used a GPS. I always Google my directions and just follow that. :)

[ton3]

Wesley is so so cool! Really love him, he's like one friend I have here in Mexico, a good friend =)

[Bill27834]

I said "silo" just before Wesley did!

A good use for a (pocket size) GPS is to mark where you park if you go to a large unfamiliar shopping center and hope to find your car again.

[roxyindy123]

I went to a flyball tournament last year in Iowa and the GPS turned us the wrong way on a one way street. It was funny.

[alloutacash]

just one beer? you mean one at a time, of course.

Have a good time in Wisconson. Gas must be killing you.

[Xanxer]

Cool video, but man you have to agree the glowing eye thing is scary.

Loved the extra footage of the dogs just playing.

That still picture of Supernova was great!

Dictionary Thing for Silos:

A tower or pit on a farm used to store grain or other crops are compressed and stored as silage.

I'd love to see you and the doggies perform. Wrong continent though. Hope you get to meet some of your subscribers!

[Tucson76]

Gps, Love it/hate it. You always get a wrong reading once in a while, that drives ya nuts.

But yes, they are helpful. We will become blobs in the future, just like those in WALL-E. Is Wesley gay?

[olchaaa]

:D :D :D

[larry2043]

That was a very interesting video, Zak.

All the best to you, your beautiful dogs and the others driving with you for a good trip, lots of fun and a great Holiday weekend!!!

Larry.

[mightymikaagility]

Looks like fun! Have fun performing! :)

[jeffmende]

thanks for this video; i sort felt like the we were all together in this summer vacation.

your dogs are great. they seem to bring joy to your life; a constant reminder how precious this life is; your friend was right I think; go

silo.

jeff

[Catah5]

they look like milk prossesors

[mysticskryten]

Zak - great vid! I dont have a GPS, and I'm sure I wouldn't get as lost as I do on road trips. Can't have a road trip with out getting lost and laughing the whole time! and Why is wesley riding in the back of the van? that cracked me up!! lol

[MrsJohnnyDeppForever]

Oh and my dads friend lives in Wisconsin and BTW theres no link in the description

[MrsJohnnyDeppForever]

IDK what those things are but Yes Zak there are such things as silos lol and how do u drive and record at the same time? lol

[fundogteam]

Yea!! Road trips are fun!!I love it!And GPS is a great thing!Have a lot of fun and throw some discs for the kids from me ;)

[Katana936]

Zak,

Those are are called Grain Bins and they are loaded by the track you see up above them called a grain elevator.

These are technically silos but around here silo used for larger free standing structures that house silage. Silage is a mixture of feed corn, feed grass sorghums, clover whatever for feed over winter. Due to fermentation it can last several years and be good feed.

Just ask us Indiana folk. BTW you should introduce your dogs to sheep. They would love you for it!

[JustJesse197]

Road trips are fun :) That is so cool you are performing! That is too far to travel from Phoenix :( Have fun at your event, make sure to tape it :)

~Heather and Jesse~

[HaleyMary]

Venus is so cute. Does she usually like to ride shotgun in the car? :)

Those things on the side of the road look like grain elevators. I've seen a lot of those on the prairies.

[enderwigginsx]

btw.. if gas wasnt so expensive.. i'd go see the show.

i live in west chicago

[enderwigginsx]

wayne's world was in aurora, but thats semi-close to pieora!!

awsome!!

[animalfanatic19]

yay is one of the pami states! =) sounds like it'll be fun supernova looks tired alpha looked bored and venus looked annoyed haha =) haha GPS's are for losers =) my mom and i find our way everywhere to trials..but then again idk how it happens haha but i guess a GPS is pretty cool..nice disc stuff maybe we can make it happen..with tons of people but yeah i agree road trips are the bomb =) soo much fun

[lineage86]

Eww Natty-Ice!? I mean you're amazing hun but come on. I could buy you better beer than that haha.

[mattwaltonisbored]

woohoo, yay wisconsin!!

[natureboywonder]

They're called grain elevators. The pipes have augers in them that pull the grain up out of the trucks and drop it all down into the elevators. They are called elevators because the keep the grain elevated and dry during storage. When doors at the bottom are opened, gravity does the rest. All this info from a homo in NYC. I thought everybody knew that stuff.

[Kinbarii]

I love our GPS! it makes traveling so easy!

[Kinbarii]

I think they are called Silos! but I don't know much about that.

[wolfydan121]

bingo! here in oz (im from a farming family)we call them silos! and i think the name is pretty much universal, ( the elevator is actually the pipe that carries it up over the truck/trailer/train for loading!) btw zac, you have inspired me, im thinking about becoming a trainer myself! =-D lol

[PinoyBoyy]

driving long distances FTW!

[dogsports101]

LOL. Wow thats a lot of driving. BTW, those are grain bins. They are used for storing corn and soybeans =) Have fun with your dogs.

[RoyalHairdresser]

People are crazy if they don't like a GPS. we take our laptop and use Microsoft Steets and Trips. Huge screen and all.

Is the Extreme Canines going to be televised?

[georgedickel69]

but I don't want a GPS.......I have a very good sense of direction

Where's your Dad been anyway???

[sgtsnakeeyes11]

lol nice
