Clio also does most of the above. But does anyone's boxer do this: After she eats, she comes out in the living room and rolls around on the carpet. After watching her do this for two and a half years, it almost looks like she is trying to rub the top of her snout! Which is, of course, the only part of her that won't actually touch the carpet. Sometimes she will stop in mid rub with her head between her front paws, top side down, and look at me as if to say, "look ma, I'm standing on my head!" My husband calls it 'the digestion dance'. It seems as though she hasn't completed a meal until she has writhed around on the carpet for a few minutes.

Casper too, he thinks all of the furniture and carpets are here for him to use as his personal napkin! He loves to leave boxer eye goobers on my white comforter, what a special gift :p thanks, Casper!
I thought of a few more too:
Tilting his head - he does this much more than Sumi who outgrew it after she was about 6 months. I love to make strange noises and watch him cock his head. He does that when he's waiting at the door for us to come in, you can see his little titly head through the glass, as if he's thinking "Why is it taking them so long to open that door???"
He also does a "bucking bronco" dance now that he's learning not to j-u-m-p up on people, the bucking bronco has replaced his jumping routine. He wiggles and kidneys and at the same time jumps up on his front feet for a second then the back, repeat, repeat, repeat ...
He loves to push stuff off the edge of the narrow table we have in front of the couch - just to watch it fall, shear bliss.
He also has to rest his heavy head on stuff a lot, he stands at the window and just rests his head on the ledge, it is sooo cute.
And after he sits on command the words "Good boy" trigger a spring in his butt to pop himself up "boing" and start the wiggle dance :rolleyes: . "Oh thank you, thank you, I'm good, you love me, you really really love me, let's celebrate!"
