Oh, it is THE cutest thing! Cowboy has become a total Mama's boy! When I want to pick him up and he is close by, I put my hands down by the floor with open plams facing him and say "Come on Cowboy, Uppy"...and he stands up on his hind feet and jumps until he gets to me with his front paws going like he is swimming! It just makes my heart go pitter pat! If someone else does the exact same thing he will not do his cute little act. My husband just rolls his eyes, shakes his head....and gets a quirky little grin on his face.
