Biggie does this sometimes too. He does it when he is super excited to go for a walk or for a car ride. I'll ask him to sit so I can put his leash on, he sits and then he's off. I always thought it was because he was excited..because he doesn't do it all the time. Maybe I need to watch how and when I stretch my arms out the get him.

mine does this too... weird.... but the arm thing does make sense... you'd think they would get use to it after awhile.

Yeah my boys do that sometimes too. Even funnier... they will jump on my legs to be picked up, when I reach down they will turn backwards and give me their butt to pick them up that way! I thought it was so weird the first time they ever did that... but they do it all the time and its been 3 years now, guess they just like being picked up so they face outward! haha

My Dexter leaps into my arms when I bend down to pick him up... he wont even wait for me to reach down all the way, silly boy!

Sapphire does this all the time! She's 3 now and I don't think she'll ever grow out of it.

Harley my 4 mo old Peekapoo does the same thing. Our king size bed is very high. It came with steps...he'll whine to come up I hang off the bed and he runs. He whines at the stairs,won't go up or down them(we have about 30) go to get him he runs away. I don't have an answer. He thinks it's a game , I swear. I try calling him,or think he'll fallow the other dogs...NO GO.

Sammie does this to me and my fiance. He gets so excited to see us, that he doesn't know what to do or how to act when it happens, lol. I think it's cute.
