Spidey LOL

[rmsolympic1]

Beautiful and talented animals. I am sure they give hours of fun. The white dog looks like he is chasing his tail, but the brown dog is pretty skilled, a consistent shooter.

[bankerchips]

[rickcaran]

thanks Rasui! I like Chi's too... Jilli's bro is a chi, Spidey Chihuahua!

[Savvycowgurl]

thats Adorable! How did u teach that :)

[rickcaran]

thanks SavvyCG! it's a series of learned abilities, starting with fetching, placing the fetch object, then placing the fetch object INTO something, like a basket... then changing to a ball, and a basketball net... spidey chihuahua actually is a really good team mate now, he brings the ball in and passes it ti Jilli, everytime, now! best regards, rick caran

[briers2]

How big is Jilli? Looks very small compared to that Chihuahua.

[rickcaran]

Jilli is 5 lbs, about the size of a fuzzy bedroom slipper! Spidey is out BIG dog, he is 10 lbs!-)

[rickcaran]

Jilli is 5 lbs, about the size of a fuzzy bedroom slipper! Spidey is out BIG dog, he is 10 lbs!-)

[theAPPLESODA]

The most intense game of basketball I've ever seen!

:)

[rickcaran]

thanks apple! it's fun! we also have some video that we will post whenever i have some time, with Spidey showing great passing ability and jilli making her great dunks! and also with our cat, lucky, who just sits in the middle of the action and the dogs playing basketball all around him! thanks, rick n jilli dog

[lethal2powpow]

dats so cute!!!

[rickcaran]

thanks! it was fun shooting it! they play ball everyday for exersize and fun!

[amazingfly]

I have a dog named spidey also

[rickcaran]

cool name!

[yaisue]

nvm its a chihuahua lol i didnt read

[rickcaran]

yes, a chihuahua. he's 9 lbs, and jilli is 5 lbs!

[yaisue]

what kind of dog is the white one it kind of look like a tea cup

[freakboyy2000Aalex]

that is really nice...good work.

[rickcaran]

thanks Aalex! that was a lot of fun to shoot!

[freakboyy2000Aalex]

i bet it was...i like your dogs/puppies.

[rickcaran]

Jilli is 9 yrs old, and SDpidey is 3, but they're still "puppies" to me!!!

[freakboyy2000Aalex]

really?? wow...i think there puppies also...and thats what i thought....cute

[rickcaran]

thanks Aalex! I believe that if you keep a dog learning new things and having fun, that they stay youthful! same with people! ick

[freakboyy2000Aalex]

me2...thats wut ima teach my puppy, when i get annie (ma puppies name) soon.

[rickcaran]

great! good luck with "annie"!

[PLCTheCd]

We should make this a sport!

THere's dog racing, now there's NCBA (National Canine Basketball Association)

[rickcaran]

sounds good to me, PLC! I actually was thinking of putting out a national challange! that would be fun!

[tinaannbyers]

Jilli Dog is wonderful, but Spidey also shows great promise at the top of the key! Terrific fun video!

[rickcaran]

Hey Tina! thanks so much! Actually we HAVE to post some new video showing Spidey Chihuahua currently! He plays piano, does tricks and now he gets the basketball, brings it in and passes it to Jilli, who sinks the ball. Very Accurately! He recently did a commercial with James Gandolfini for American Airlines! rick

[west7productions]

what you really need to do is get a game against some other chihuahuas for some money. the white one cant make any shots but he is a great assist.

[rickcaran]

funny that you said that! Now Spidey Chihuahua is really good at making assists! I was thinking of making a national Doggy B'ball contest, a challange of sorts. Mebbe how many shots can a single dog make in a minute, and the same for 2 dogs, where they both have to handle the ball, as long as one shoots! I have seen some dogs shoot, but not w/assists!-) rick

[west7productions]

you should approach the NBA I bet they would toss some money at it. The league I mean. Sadly I am not sure how many dogs are as gifted as yours.

[rickcaran]

ya know, i tried contacting them a yr ago when Jilli was playing b'ball, but now that spidey is in the act, it is more funny... I didn't try too hard, because I didn't know how or who, but I'll try again! thanks! rick

[west7productions]

schooled

[somasight]

Very cute. Is spidey a male?

[rickcaran]

thanks! Yes Spidey is a boy dog!!!

[GerardWayRocks909]

U R AWESOME!

[dprimich]

i love jilli and spidey!! they are the best medicine!

[rickcaran]

Thanks D! yes,they are what the doc ordered! Even tho it's been all these years, I still crack up watching them and their enthusiasm! Glad they cheer you up, also. Hope to see you in the new year! rick

[dragon1994]

wow they are so smart

[rickcaran]

Thanks dragon, they keep us smilin all the time!

[shvetti]

this is incredible!! how old are your dogs? what is the right age to start training them? i have a 3.5 month old chihuahua.

[rickcaran]

Hi Schvett! I think that 6 mos is a good age to start, just do 5 minutes a day with 'NEW" stuff. go slowly, a little new info at a time. Jilli is 9 yrs old, and Spidey Chihuahua is 3 yrs old. Both were adopted. Spidey now also plays piano (sort of:) and does some other cool tricks, but Jilli is in a class of her own! regards, Rick

[sorenbereynbewdy]

you're such a jerk! Spidey obviously was never even taught how to play! personal foul on Jillli!!

[rickcaran]

ummmmmmm.... ok...

[x1929201]

the white dog must have some jaw problem...

drop the ball always..

[rickcaran]

Actually, when we shot this video, Spidey Chihuahua was just learning to 'pass the ball' to Jilli Dog, but didn't quite have it yet, so we called him a 'defender' against Jilli. But NOW, Spidey drops (passes sort of:) the ball perfectly to Jilli, and she dunks! Will edit and post soon! Thanks, rick

[fanmaineactzoey101]

Ginus Pups

[rickcaran]

thanks Zoey! we have a lot of fun with them! Spidey has improved a lot since this video! rick

[Astrid270718]

They are great!But I wonder about somthing:You said that Spider is her her brother.But Spider is a Chihuaha,right?To me she seems to b more like a Yorkie......And I also thought that Chihuahua`s are smaler than Yorkie as Chihuahua are the smallest dog in the world.But Spider seems to be bigger than her..

[rickcaran]

Gd ques! Astrid. There is a theory that Mexican's bred larger Chi's with small wolves hundreds of years ago, and they are now the 'Apple Head Chihuahua'. But I do know that there are larger size Chi's like Spidey. And actually, last year for the 1st time, a Yorkie was the smallest dog in the world: 1-lb at one yr old. Also, Spide\y is really a good team player now! When they play basketball, he gets the ball, passes to Jilli who makes the shot! Fun! Videos coming! beat regards, rick

[rickcaran]

OH yes, the 'brother' thing? They were both rescued, so they are 'adopted' brothers, if you happen to notice that they don't look like each other! Actually, people say that Jilli resembles me, and you would never think she was adopted!-) rick

[brianturner23]

travel! :P

[rickcaran]

thanks Brian! We'll work on 'dribbling'!-)

[stevenamor]

So cute!!!!!!!

[rickcaran]

thanks Steve! rick

[mrsborgman]

I just wanted to let you know that your videos always make me smile. They're awesome!

[rickcaran]

Thanks MrsN! that's what she does to me, also. She is also a certified therapy dog, and she spreads smiles and joy at nursing homes, hospitals, etc, when we get the chance! She has about 8 vids, search on YouTube "Jilli Dog" rick

[rickcaran]

I meant Mrs"B"

[Meerkaty101]

LOL I think Jilli is jealous! I have a yorkie named Jazzy! Me and my mom spoil her!

[bornnotfree]

Spidey doesn't seem to care about the score.

[rickcaran]

LOL! Yes, BornNF! in this video, you're right! But now Spidey is a riot, he doesn't shoot, but he races, gets the ball, brings it toward the basket then passes to Jilli then shoots! We hope to post soon! I was thinking of posting a challenge of canine basketball? thanks, rick

[jescorpio]

so smart and cute!! LOVE IT!!+++

[rickcaran]

Jilli Dog and another video are in the Dog Trick Contest for "North Shore Animal League America" (*ends Midnite tonight, wed). If you like the trick, or like some other pet trick video, you can vote right under ea picture in the contest page, on the site. Please google: North Shore Animal League, to find the contest. I tried putting the link in here, but no go. best regards, rick and Jilli Dog

[wildchild1996]

smart dogs how did you teach them

[rickcaran]

thanks wildc! patience, consistance and caring for just a few minutes a day... rick

[kleiber05]

YIREKGFO

[algdogs1]

are they really related?

[rickcaran]

Yes, they are identical twins! The way to tell them apart is that Jilli has the black collar, and Spidey has the dark blue collar;-)

[MyTwistedSister]

makes me miss my little yorkie that passed away this summer.

[rickcaran]

I can't even imagine! I felt the loss of every dog over my lifetime, but there is something different in a little Yorkie, in that you feel that they are always puppies, and need protection more. Altho, they will endanger their own little lives to protect us... I am sorry for your loss...

[EsotericDesi]

LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!... That was funny...

[rickcaran]

thanks Desi! we have a lot of fun with the pups! altho Jilli Dog is an 8 1/2 yr old pup!-)

[latincutieinny]

We need to teach Spidey defense...lol

[rickcaran]

haha! yeah! we went one better, we Spidey to be on offense 'with' Jilli, where he gets the ball, brings it toward the basket, passes to Jilli, and Jilli makes the shot! Fun! will post soon (when we get the time!-) rick

[rickcaran]

[dirtyfoo666]

Hi Rick, Regarding what you said about yourself and Jilli possibly coming to the UK: I live on the Wirral near Liverpool and there are several childrens hospitals in the area who would love to see Jilli. I have some connections with people involved in childrens charitable organisations and would be able to find accommodation here for yourself and Jilli. If you wish to contact me regarding a tour my email address is GMFrance at AOL dot com.

[rickcaran]

Hey dirtyfoo666! thanks for the comments! I would like to hear about about your ideas for a UK tour. We sometimes add to our US tours, and would like to create some Euro tours. regards, Rick

[bellastarletdog]
