Schultz, the Directioner


My daughter is a huge fan of One Direction, a boy band from the UK.  She's constantly playing their music and telling me all about the band members.  Apparently, One Direction has a new song out:  The Best Song Ever.  My daughter has been playing it non-stop on her iPod.

"Mom, you have to listen to this,"  she said.

"I already have," I replied.  "About fifty times."

She walked over to Schultz, our German Shepherd.  "Schultz, listen to this!"  She played it again.

Schultz cocked his head and listened.  Then he stood up.

"Look, Mom.  He wants to dance."

Uh huh.  I wasn't too sure about that.  But then something funny happened.  Right after one of the boys shouted, "Owww," in the lyrics, Schultz made a funny noise that sounded like, "Owww!"

My daughter was thrilled.  "Schultz is a Directioner!" she exclaimed.  

All right then.  We'll notify One Direction that they now have their first doggy fan.




Here's the video if you'd like to watch it.  (It's a little long because they do a skit before they sing.  All the characters are One Direction band members - even the "lady.")  Enjoy!

    1. He's amazing! Maybe he should try for a career in show business.

  3. I'm sure Schultz could surpass them in the talent dept...(I've listened to long chunks of One Direction on the bus on field trips, so I'm a little jaded.)

  6. Faulkner liked Beck. He'd stand right in front of the speaker and cock his head when a Beck CD played.

    Love,

    1. He certainly is. There's a lot of music played within the walls of our house!

  8. I teach middle school. Unfortunately, I know all about 1D as a result. This too shall pass...

    Funny about the dog, though.

    1. I didn't have the video camera when Schultz made his noise. That would've been funny, though.

  11. Maybe he was crying in pain.

    1. Ha! I think you may be on to something.

      You're welcome for the review. You did a really nice job with your book!

  12. I think Schultz is trying to make up for being naughty sometimes so now he wants to be famous. He'll be even more excited when he finds out I nominated you for another award.Please stop by www.dhdunne.blogspot.com to find out more.

    1. Thanks, Deanie! I'll be off line for a while during the move, but I'll see if I can remember to do it when I come back.

  13. There were parts of this I could imagine a dog howling along with--LOL! Sadly, to me it has the same type of sound as Justin Beiber. I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. I am showing my age. ;)
