The Body Slam, and the Duck and Roll. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bella has perfected two offensive/defensive moves: the Body Slam and the Duck and Roll. I first saw 4 pound Bella doing the body slam on our 9 pound cat. She will move into a position parallel to the cat, raise her front paw, and rotate her backside into the cat. It's not enough to knock the cat over, but it's enough to annoy the cat and make her run away. Now Bella body slams when she's playing with me. She even turns her little nub tail into me and uses it as a spear or hook--it's hilarious!

Bella's other move is the Duck and Roll. Whenever Bella is trying to get out of something unpleasant like a brushing or a bath, she will fall limp and roll onto her back so it's harder to get a grip on her. Smart dog, LOL!

Does anyone else's Yorkies do these moves?

Hahaha....Not Jasper. He just head butts the cat in the side who then wraps his paws around Jasper in a wrestling hold. Then Jasper has to wiggle out of it. When Piper has had enough of this tiny, annoying canine he will pop him on the head and take off. One day I'm going to video tape it. Its too funny! Lol

I would love to see video of all of the above maneuvers! LOL

The only maneuver my youngest one has is she figured out that she could back into the long gate in our kitchen and move it just enough then turn and squeeze out to come and find me when I leave the room. I guess I need some type of anchors to put at either end.

My cat Foxy could clean Bella's clock if she wanted to, but I think that she feels some maternal instincts towards Bella. She views Bella more as a disobedient child than as a rival. She will sometimes bat at Bella with her paw, put she would never put a headlock on her or scratch her with her claws.

I wish I had a video camera or a cell phone with video capabilities. Bella would have you in stitches!

I could use some good laughs. Maybe it's time to upgrade your phone as a gift to all of us on YT.

Teehee... When I picture the duck and roll, I see a 2 year old child raising his arms so he can't be held... Just slides out

Huey does the "bounce off" where he runs at me and jumps, but puts out his front feet and bounces back off my leg before I can grab him.
