Title: Our little puppy's walk this morning
Post by: Amanda_George on March 19, 2019, 11:16:30 AM
Our little girl, Mitzi, is 10 years old at the end of June.  We rescued her via the Dogs Trust 9 years ago and in those almost 9 years, I've never seen her doing the terrier (she's a Westie) pose...

... until this morning!

Not once.

Or twice.

Or even three times.

But 4 times she did the terrier pose you see on Crufts. 

Front legs straight down, back legs standing back slightly, tail right out and head exactly straight up and facing forward with full concentration.

We've never taught her to do it or even taken her to any show rings, she wouldn't have even seen it on the telly because it's too high up for her to see it, it was all totally natural and instinctive to her.

No matter what I tried, I couldn't get her to move out of the terrier pose until *she* was ready each time.  It was like she was hunting something that she'd got the scent of and wasn't gonna move until she got it!

Bless 'er little furry paws!

I love things like this... it's up there with being called Auntie Banana!

I had started a reply then lost it all  :-[ .

Our puppies are great for surprising us no matter how old they get  :biggrin:

Gotta love technology!   :bash:

Mitzi is my second puppy and my first rescue pup - she's such a spectacular little girl!
