Alayne captured these shots of Birdie rolling around on her back on the landscaping rocks outside our back door.
Now, our dogs roll around on their backs in the grass all the time, but these rocks don’t seem like they’d be all that comfortable, do they? I mean, what do they have that grass doesn’t?
Nevertheless, Birdie was rolling away on them, back and forth. It may have been she was just showing off for the camera — doing whatever she thought would get Alayne’s attention. It worked!
Birdie — Bossy Birdie, we call her — is an attention hog, and whenever we have visitors, she goes crazy when they’re on the other side of the fence from her. She has this odd, insistent bark/whine that sounds more like a seal than a dog. I’ve told her I’m going to teach her how to balance a ball on her nose like a real seal, and then she’d have a true attention-getting trick to show off.
But apparently she already thinks she’s a roll ‘n rock star.
