Monty; canine tumbler. .
I'm showing this video (do people still use that word?) to demonstrate how Monty retrieves a ball or stick. He tries to grab it in his mouth, then tumbles head over heels in a grand demonstration of canine gymnastics.
Do other dogs do this? I should add that Monty only does this on GRASS; but when on grass he does it EVERY SINGLE TIME.. Lady M worries that he'll break his neck!
re your doggy comment "yes cro you should ALWAYS ignore a dog for a couple of minutes before greeting it. It re enforces the fact that YOU are the alpha male in the pack"

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
re your doggy comment

Thanks John. I'd imagined it must have been something of the sort!
ReplyDeleteI think dogs are quite supple so Monty should be fine, especially being a gangly youth.
ReplyDeleteMy pooch is older (and lazier) so those kind of antics have stopped.
('Video' is ok - as in "would you like to be in my arty nude video?")
Never seen anything like it...hope he does not hurt himself..
ReplyDeleteThat's what young boys do when playing football - fall over for no reason other than it looks good.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is enthusiasm! Nice vid, Cro!
ReplyDeleteHe's a dog...I'm sure he wouldn't do anything repetitiously that hurt! He looks like a fine dog Cro.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he is having lots of fun to me! So cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous pup...and so happy. jaacqueline is right..animals are smarter than we are. If it hurt he wouldn't do it.
ReplyDeleteI love the way Monty's tail wags. Looks like he's having loads of fun
ReplyDeleteI think he wants to be in the movies Cro! The're always looking for great looking 'stunt dogs' for those action movies!
