Recognize this stance?
This is the stance of a dog who has a painful elbow. I saw this every day for years with ole Red Dog too. Poor Sport! He has fallen victim to The Elbow Curse of 3W!
However, it does not stop him from running around like a fiend at the beach.
Or, you know, being handsome and stuff.
At the beach today we had a rare sighting of the Tousle-Headed Long Beaked Brown Dog:
You must be careful with these critters … if you startle them, they go mad. Mad I tell you!:
We also saw the Bat Eared Lip Licker
And its close relative, the Big-Tailed Zen Dog in a blissed out state.
Until we startled it
And it fled in a crazed panic (wtf is he doing??)
Mr. Woo got some Big Air!
And Tweed got little tiny air. Does anyone else have a dog that catches stuff with his paws instead of his mouth?
Piper was all offended because she was omitted from today’s entry.
It wasn’t my fault. Mr. Woo kept getting between her and the camera.
Donut thinks the blog is getting boring and it’s time to end this entry!

Both of my BCs caught frisbees with their paws rather than their teeth, at least initially. Now that Emily, the elder, is a little more graceful and skilled, she catches with her teeth, does flips when she’s feeling fancy, and even does the occasional ballerina-cross of her back feet when she extends to jump. Jake….well, Jake’s a galoot, so he’s far less graceful and loves to catch with his paws still. I am hoping that will change as he ages. Emily’s only main use of paws these days is to tell you when she’s ‘done’ with frisbee. She’ll bring it to you, drop it, and as you reach for it, she puts a paw on it to tell you no. Handy critter.
