| My Upside down girl Everytime Mia jumps up for a little cuddle and a nap she ends up on her back with her legs up in the air. It is sooooooo cute, but she is the first dog I've ever owned that has done this consistantly. Is it a Yorkie thing? Or a Mia thing? Do your dogs like to sleep on their backs? (my hubby says, "now there's a happy little puppy who feels completely safe" )

| Hi, I've been told that it is a sign of a confident and secure dog. A breeder once told me to always lay the pup on it's back in your arms to see how he relaxed it is to show the future temprament. Just what I was told, dunno if it's true but makes sense to me... ttfn, Sharon, PIXI & SPIKE |

| Gracie does that to anyone who sits on the couch. She jumps up and throws herself onto her back and looks up at you like "hi! could you rub my belly please"

| My Dexter will fall to his back the second you touch him! LOL He just wants a belly rub all the time. My fletcher will sleep on his back with his legs up but does not usually just fall to his back for a rub. They are too cute!

| Pepper somehow always ends up on her back. I think its just her way of cooling off. I don't know. Can you find Pepper's face??
