Is your dog trying to tell you something? She probably is, because none of our furry friends is as communicative as the loyal canine. Dogs have a rich variety of methods to let us know what they are thinking and feeling, from vocalizations ranging from worried whimpers to boisterous barks; visual cues such as tail position and the well-known “play pose”; and, in outlying cases, interpretive dance.
Via Twitter.
Epic scrolldown, Mike. I am literally in tears here. ??????
My goodness, I can hardly see because of the tears in my eyes from laughter!
EPIC!!!
I want to know what that dog is actually doing. It’s almost like the constituent parts disagree on the overall system’s net momentum, and are desperately trying to hurtle in opposite directions.
He is being auditioned for the second part of Black Swan.
Someone needs to write their physics thesis on this pup.

There’s a white cat (or two, it seems) who does a similar dance, isn’t there, Mike? I believe you even credit Jules Feiffer as your inspiration.
Yep, here’s a link to that. Sadly, I made a prediction in that post that came true.
Sadly indeed. But Jules Feiffer is still funny. And so are you. And this dog, this dog—yowza!
That was early on in my posting things – before”Cutetropolis” if I’m not mistaken? – I was rather pleased with myself for having found this since it turned in to such a fabulous inspiration for Mike. I like the Kitty Kat song, too – missed that somehow.
Anna Pawlova!
Oh my god.
Oh my dog.

I don’t know what’s funnier – the pic or the comments. Either way, I’m just in tears and I desperately need a good laugh this week. It’s gone from bad to worse at my place – My 79-year old mom had a fall over the weekend and gave herself a concussion, my little nephew had a meningitis scare (only the flu thank god), his mom’s now sick, they’re being evicted and the person who owns my rental has decided to sell it so it’s either buy it or move. AAAARRGGGHH, thank god for Cutetropolis to take my mind off things.
Goodness! That is a lot at once, I hope things start looking up!
I am sad to hear all these problems, AJ 🙁 I hope the situation improves soon.
Thanks everyone. The way I look at it, it can only go up from here. Good news is next week I get a little vacay, fly out to see my hubby in Hawaii where he’s on work assignment for the next several months. Hmmm, maybe I just won’t come back?
Yeah that’s a good idea AJ – consider it!! But if you don’t here’s hoping things get better ?!
Oh, my heaven you do need something to cheer you! And probably some hugs from the ever-dependable gang here at Cutetropolis. Here’s one!?(close as I could find)
And, yes, belly laughs over the scroll-down – and at the silly dog. He looks like he had a frisbee thrown his way and was going all-out for it.
Sending positive vibes your way!
AJ, that’s a lot to deal with! Sending hugs – I hope you enjoy your vac. in Hawaii.
AJ, so sorry about all the bad news this week.
What an utterly craptastic time you and yours are going through, AJ! That is so rotten. Ricky and I send good juju and puppy kisses.
Thank goodness for vacations when you really need them. Please enjoy it.
.. I is a pointer .. see .. it’s over their .. *points in 5 different directions*
Gee George, which way did he go?? He went that a-way, (and that way, and oh yeah, this way too)!!!
Of course, people do go both ways … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yejtZgzB5Ik
It’s the best display of “pas de derp” I’ve ever seen.
Nice! I’ll have to remember that one.
This is not the first “interpretive dance” post we’ve had. Maybe “pas de derp” needs to be a tag.
Agreed.
I like it! Adding my vote for a ‘pas de derp’ tag.
Since I already have a “Derp” tag, I added that. Yes, plenty of derp in this photo. 😀
That works. 🙂
Perfect 😀
I saved this photo to my computer to use as a screen wallpaper and titled it exactly that – Pas de Derp.
I just did, too. 😉
My current wallpaper is the pup with the leaf bouquet on his way to prom.
Love that one too! I have two sloths hugging with a big hibiscus flower.
I see seven points. I looked for the eighth point. But that’s just me. (the tail oh and 9).
Gaaah! It’s a vicious pit bull! Stop it before everyone dies laughing!
Maybe that’s their vicious secret – they make you die laughing?
