 The Body Slam, and the Duck and Roll.
Bella has perfected two offensive/defensive moves: the Body Slam and the Duck and Roll. I first saw 4 pound Bella doing the body slam on our 9 pound cat. She will move into a position parallel to the cat, raise her front paw, and rotate her backside into the cat. It's not enough to knock the cat over, but it's enough to annoy the cat and make her run away. Now Bella body slams when she's playing with me. She even turns her little nub tail into me and uses it as a spear or hook--it's hilarious!
Bella's other move is the Duck and Roll. Whenever Bella is trying to get out of something unpleasant like a brushing or a bath, she will fall limp and roll onto her back so it's harder to get a grip on her. Smart dog, LOL!
Does anyone else's Yorkies do these moves? |
