"That weird twisty dance"

[Elsa]

A good friend of mine dropped me off at home this afternoon and Ruby was so glad to see me and my friend that she was kidney-beaning all over the place! Twisting and twriling and body slamming her! My friend exclaimed, "What kind of weird twisting dance is this?" I didn't even want to try to explain.....I just enjoyed the show. What could I say?

Hi, Elsa! I tell my friends, when they see Harley kidney-beaning, that he's doin' the Boxer Boogie! :D Aren't are boxer babies beautiful?!

We had 2 boxers for over 6 years and I never even knew that was a "boxer thing." :o

Shannon did it, but Remy didn't. I thought maybe she had been mistreated before we got her, because she was always coming up to us with her tail first.

Everyone laughs at Bailey at how twisty she can get. I just tell them that most boxers do it; it's a "boxer thing." :D

Our Libby is a disco queen - she loves to do the kidney bean boogie!! I actually had someone ask me if there was something wrong with her when they saw it for the first time!! Shame on them - can't they appreciate this talent? I love it myself, it is Libby's way of saying she's glad to see me!!

I never realized it was a boxer thing either, until I came to this board. I just thought the bouncing down the hall sideways was a Markus thing.
