July 25. National Dance Day. Another great human pastime. And some dogs do indeed like to dance. It’s called Canine Freestyle. My human has seen dogs in Freestyle at Crufts – and she loved it.
She actually used to do something called “Drill Team” years ago through the local Kennel Club with several of her Bernese and her lab. As a matter of fact, Bucket Head even used to do it. Dogs and humans would march in formation to music. And they would go and do performances at nursing homes and other events. Then the team folded and their musical marching days were over. Paxton was quite the hit when the group used to perform. Drool and all.
When my human plays music at home and she has a dancing “moment”, Paxton likes to join in. All 100+ lbs of Bernese will trot back and forth through my human’s legs. He loves it. I, on the other hand, try to jump up and bite my human in the butt. I get a bit tooooo excited at the prospect of dancing. Really – I just hope there will be treats.
Frodo has two left paws – he just stands and barks when music is played.
Yes indeed, we have an interesting household. I’m thinking we could be the subjects of a reality TV show. Seriously.
OK – I’m off to practice my dance moves! Have a GREAT day!!
