I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love.

For me they are the role model for being alive.

The routine

Every morning

and each evening

Stumpy hightails it out to the deck to practice her dance routines


her unsuspecting partners await.


I've spent hours out there, with her. Camera at the ready to capture her complicated routines.

She high steps, cavorts, does flips and twists that would be the envy of any Olympic gymnast.

Mostly, she doesn't do them when the camera is pointed at her.



OOPS!!!

Of course, I didn't laugh! OF course, I didn't!!!









Occasionally, she allows me to film her progress...


Sometimes her dance partner dances his last dance :(

Stumpy has a serious job out there with all those flies! Riley does the same thing when she actually gets one...steps on it and sniffs it and steps on it some more.

I love chasing flys as well :-)

Wasps are not so much fun ;-)

Great moves you have there, Stumpy! You need to try out for Dancing with the Stars - you would surely be a winner.

Haha! That's some Most Excellent Fly Dancing there, Stumpy. Good for you! Protecting the world, one fly at a time!

LOLOL! You killed me when I got to the music. Do you know how to edit video so you can combine these into one clip? It would be a hit!

Cyndi and Stumpy said...

Thundering herd, I only wish I could have captured some flips and HUUUUUUUUUUGE air-time!

Khyra, that's a huge blessing!

Tucker, I understand and even appreciate Stumpy's need to annihilate the little buggers, to a point. When her addiction interferes with basic life, welll....

Elyse, more protien right?

Wizz, careful it could develop into an addiction. and yeah, Stumpy doesn't differentiate between flies and bees.

Heelers, Tails are good in the winter when the flies and bees are hiding.

OP Pack, I think tha'ts what she's practicing for!

Mayzie, is that what she's doing?

LWD, I wish I did and I have tried. I seem to be challenged in that department. I'll keep trying, though!

Tula, PLEASE! Her sense of entitlement is already over-blown. Let's not encourage her!

it has been a long time since I giggled! You brought that back.
Then when you added music - the suspense rose - anticipation!

My Godiva may have a little Stumpy in her.
She loves a good bug chase.
