We have several in our house!
Sit & spin – when said dog places it’s bum on the rug in a sit position and does a few 180’s to scratch its bum.

Electric slide- when said dog gets in sit position and slides her bum down the back of the couch.

Corn cobbing- when said dog chews itself or nearest item, even human limbs, as if eating corn. Just a gentle nibble.

Crop dusting- when said dog walks past you while simultaneously passing gas.
Butt on fire- when said dog gets wild eyed look and runs around the house in a somewhat symmetrical and repetitive manor for 30-60 seconds then pauses to catch breath before another victory lap.
I love happy roll! We get that one lots!

Common knowledge of Airedale people is the “big black nose poke.” It’s when your Airy comes either in front of you or behind you and pokes their nose up into your crotch with a bounce of their head. It generally has the tendency to make you jump — especially when they’re behind you. The Airys have a conspiracy to make sure they find someone standing just after they’ve taken a big drink and soaked their beards so that the person looks like they’ve sprung a leak. I guess Black Russians have enough Airedale in their genes that this was passed on because I’ve heard about more of them than just Vlad doing it. But it still makes me think that Vlad is channeling Dannyboy trying to make me laugh.

“PLUFFY”. That’s Franny for the fluffiest, plumpest dog blanket in the house. Which, naturally,only she gets to use. See “The Tao Of Franny” post. An old one. They’re all old right now. Been busy.

Let’s see – “pawdance” is the excited prancing done in anticipation of dinner. “Poopy” is an affectionate term for a puppy because, well, you know, puppies do that! And then there is “wallow” but pronounced “woller”….the ridiculous upside wiggling done on a bed that covers it in fur which then leads to “furwhumpf”. 🙂

Entertaining post…..loved it.
