Here is a youtube video link of my golden retriever playing pinball you might enjoy.
He's playing Earthshaker and is SO happy & proud when he gets the jackpot. I thought I'd share this with other pinballers who love the game. ;>[]
My golden, Carmela, is jealous of my pinball machines. Everyone comes by, plays with the dog for 10 minutes and then goes plays pinball for 2 hours.
Great video . . . awesome dog.

Like the video and love the dog. Go by Staples and buy an easy button. Place button in center of lockdown bar using suction cups. Wire both flippers to it and watch your retriever really play. Go on David Lettermans stupid pet tricks, write a book, sell the movie rights, retire. Buy that dog a room full of bones and report back.
Great Video and Great Dog! My Boxer Ellie likes to listen to the games, she does the thing where she cocks her head to one side when she hears certain vocals in the games. Gimli's Super Jackpot long callout in LOTR is her favorite!

That is hilarious and so clever I just may do it! He does try to mimic what I do, like pulling weeds or untangling peas in the garden (I mean he watches and then does the exact same thing), putting laundry in the washer/dryer, etc. He'd learn that pretty darn quickly. . .hmmmmm. . .you may have something there!
Quoted from JIM_Z:Great dog! Brings back lot of memory's.
Our Golden was almost 14 when we lost him. A long life.... but not long enough.
I am sorry Jim. I know the pain. I had a 17.5 year old and after him, a 13.5 year old before finding Luke. I wish they lived to 100 (people years). I hope you share your life with another one, as dogs are so very special with their unconditional love.

Thanks.
We will have another great dog when the time is right.
Quoted from SunKing:That made me smile - THANKS!!
I also had to put down our dog last month. It gets even harder when you have young kids. <---we did a lot of this.
SunKing - I am sorry for your loss. It is heartrending. ;>[
Quoted from dlbuller:My Bernese mountain dog loves to play too. He likes to try and chase the ball.
I have 3 dogs and I love them all...but my Berner is by FAR my favorite! Not sure I'll ever have any other breed. 150lbs. of pure joy and love. He's not much for pinball though...
