Wagger, Waver, Whipper, or Wigglebutt?

[wolf_Q]

There seems to be kind of a bad mood around PT lately, so here's a really stupid thread to lighten things up.

When your dog is really happy, are they a Wagger, Waver, Whipper, or Wigglebutt?

Wagger: A medium speed back and forth motion, any tail works
Waver: A fairly slow and gentle motion, most commonly a fluffy tail
Whipper: A rapid motion which usually results in smacking, or whipping nearby human legs, most commonly a long tail
Wigglebutt: A motion involving not just the tail, but the whole backside, most commonly those lacking in tail length


Nebo is a waver. His tail gently moves back and forth, you can hardly feel it if his tail hits you when he's waving it.
Reggie is a wagger. Even though he just has a little stub, he wags it when he's happy.
Sydney is a wigglebutt. She gets her little stub moving but her whole back end wiggles too!

My Jack was definitely a Whipper!!! If you weren't paying attention he could smack your shins pretty hard! *Ouch*

Great thread topic, Amy!

I think Nala falls under more of a "thumper"
She slowly wags her tail, and thumps it on whatever is closest. She's often thumped it so hard that Simba thought someone was knocking at the door and started barking.


Simba is a waver.

Kiara is a wiggler.

Ha ha! Funny thread! Priya tends to be a wigglebutt, maybe because she's little??!! LOL When she's really happy her whole backside gets into it.

If she's sleepy and hears her name, her tail will thump a little bit, so that could be a thumper, and she sometimes wavers if she's not as excited as she is when she wigglebutts!

Millie's a waver, but instead of back and forth, her tail goes front to back since it's curled over her back. She's such a weirdo.

Chester is most definitely a wigglebutt!

Jeez, Kayann! You made me LOL. That would be Millie and Chester if Ches had a tail.

Cute thread Amy!

I'd say Tasha is a whipper, she has a long tail, reaches past her hocks.

Tommy is a wagger, though if he's REALLY excited (like when Daddy first gets home) he can be a wigglebutt too

Disney is pretty much a wigglebutt.

Cool thread

Squid is a Wagger, he'd probably be a Whipper but he doesn't have much of a tail

Toby is a Whipper, he smacked my sister in the face with his tail the other day and she had a bruise from it! Whoops!

Ollie's not just a Wigglebutt, he's a WiggleBODY. His tail is too big for the rest of him.

Mickey is a wagger, waver and wigglebutt. It all depends on his mood. He'll wave if he's happy, wag or sway it when he's playing and when he's really excited, his whole body wiggles.

When he's really happy, he'll just wave his tail so much it's almost as if he's going to take off flying.

Emma is a major Whipper lol Moco is a wigglebut--because of his short curled around tail lol

My 2 are definatly waggers.

Rosie's a Wigglebutt... Anna's a Waver..

I picked wigglebut, but depending on
how excited they are it could be a wagger too.
