Bisou CGC- TDI

Boney Baloney- Face

	Bisou always sits with one paw in the air. I have seen many pics of Paps with a raised foot. What is the deal?

Boston

King of- everything

Barked: Fri Feb 22, '08 4:26pm PST


	Hmmm not sure. Daisy doesnt do this. Boston does though but only after he broke his leg. But I was told most dogs with broken legs after they heal will always do this. But I dont think that is what you are talking about so not sure.

Kujo

Kujo Padfoot the- Vicious, CGC

	My Papillon does this ALL THE TIME. In fact, his main profile pic and his forum icon both show him doing this. I think it's just a breed trait that hits some Papillons and not others- like Bichons doing the JR thing, where they kind of dance with their front paws, you know? (I have a video of another Papillon doing that, too!) But yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with the pup, it's just a quirk. My Kujo does it so much that my friends joke about me having a three-legged dog.

	I do this too! It's the cutest ever! My mom has FINALLY figured out why I do it though.. surprise! I love my little pappy armpits scratched! I come over to mom, raise my little paw and she scratches my wittle pitties until my eyes droop and I almost fall into a love coma. BOL! Darnit I'm cute!
