That is one happy dog!
In September of 2005, Andrew Schmidt returned home from his deployment in
In April 2008, Andrew put the above video up on You Tube, writing:
"I'm uploading this for family. This was the day I came back from
Then last week on You Tube:
"UPDATE: (11-13-2009) - This is crazy. I posted this years ago along with three other clips of wife in
This clip had like 30,000 hits two days ago. I'm not quite sure where this attention is all coming from. Oh, and it was filmed by my wife Jen in our front yard in
Take care, all - A.S."
Sunday morning on NBC's Today Show....
And one more update on You Tube:
FINAL UPDATE (11-15-2009) Again, thanks for everyone's kind words. Yes, we did a short (2-min) spot in the Today Show this morning. They were nice, but I didn't get to say what I wanted to say about my friends deployed or the many Guardsmen overseas right now. But it went well (do a Google for Capt. Andrew Schmidt to see it).
We were contacted by another news outlet, but we declined. We're 17 minutes into our 15 minutes of fame. We're private people, and these things can get out of hand. For one, I am a staff officer in the Air Guard (even though I am past enlisted) ... there are tens of thousands of combat arms soldiers and Marines on their third+ 12 month deployment down range; I'm only gearing up for my second. I don't want to be made a symbol for something that I don't deserve to be. You have to be careful, because you have no control when you go on TV unless you are very, very savvy (I am not). Or you get crazy and end up building a UFO weather balloon in your back yard.
Take care. This was a fun week, but it's over now. I have to go change a diaper, then walk Gracie.
Andy and family.
Good stuff...
