Dancing with your dogs?

[gemini9961]

I feel silly asking this but does anyone else (besides me) dance with their dogs? I'll pick up Sadie and dance around with her. Maggie sometimes I'll pick up but she would rather lick me when I pick her up and Sadie will be good and just enjoy me being retarded. :D

Finn would go right to sleep when I'd pick him up and slow dance around with him. ;) Now the only way we boogie, is if he's on his back legs with his front paws in my hands. :) I did kinda slow dance with him in my arms the other day, but, it was short lived, as he is heavy, now!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Tobey will take it for so long then he starts to lick!

[Kfamr]

Yep! I tell them "up" and they put their front paws into my hands and walk on their hind legs. Nala especially likes to do this. ;)

Now.. I don't think I'd be able to actually pick any of them up and dance around with them. :p Kiara maybe.. I can lift all 3 but not to dance. :p

Don't tell anyone :rolleyes: , but yes, Maggie is just tall enough that she gives me her paws and we'll go back and forth. :p

[gemini9961]

Ok good it's not just me. I feel much better now. Thanks for reassuring me, that in fact, I am not retarded. LOL. I have to pick my 2 up as they aren't tall enough to stand up, unless I get on my knees...:o

Edit: Off to dance, a good song is on. Rascal Flatts....

[Jadapit]

Yes, Jada loves to dance.:D She gets up on her back legs i take her front paws in my hand and we dance away.;) Diamond likes to dance a little bit. I haven't tried it with Ebony yet. I should pick her up and dance with her before she is to big.;)

[kittycats_delight]

Our RB Shadow loved to dance. Shadow was quite tall so he used to actually put his paws on your shoulders. LOL

[lizbud]

Smokey & Maggie are much to heavy for me to pick up, but
I sometimes dance around them.:D They go bananas & get
so excited with the new "game".:D

[Jamieejo85]

YES!! I love to go out and dance and when Im bored I will sit in my room and listen to music and get up and dance. Chico goes nuts!! He starts running around and trying to jump up on me, I think he is trying to dance with me:D ;)

[Suki Wingy]

When I dance Niño comes running up and jumps up on me and scratches me!

[Lobodeb]

Of course I dance with Maggy. I hear a catchy tune, grab my little girl and we're off. I get a nice ear wash and a dance partner at the same time. :D

[finn's mom]

I think it's awesome that all of y'all dance with your pups. ;) I used to slow dance with Bruno all the time. He loved it. I'd hold him like a little baby and he'd just relax. Finn loves being held, and, it's not easy anymore....I don't do it daily like I did when he was less than 40 pounds. But, at sixty, I do it less, but, I do still pick him up, he puts his front legs over my shoulders and I fold my arms under his butt. ;) His back legs usually just stick out to either side. Slow songs, I hold him, fast ones, he stands up on his back legs.

I twirl around the room with Murph in arms sometimes. Oz'll jump up and put his paws in my hands and we'll do a few steps. It's Gull however who really loves to dance. Not slow, but fast.

I don't even have to be dancing around. If I just do like a lil' robot hand motion or lil' Saturday Night Fever pointing finger in the air, he just gets nutz. Bouncing all around me. I really need to start working on some actual steps with him, cuz I think he'd be a natural at it.

Blaze doesn't like me touching his paws very much, so I don't really dance with him very often.;)

[Logan]

My dogs tend to dance around me, especially when I walk through the door after work and at mealtime! LOL!!! :)

I did read this cute article today about one woman's experience, dancing with her dog (or trying to). I thought it was cute and you might want to read it.

My dogs don't bite me, but if I danced with them, I think they might. :p
