This is our beautiful Annabell.
Annabell prefers to be called Annie.
Annie is very precocious,
extremely adorable,
immensely endearing,
and I couldn't love her more
if I gave birth to her myself.
She completely owns my heart.
She is loving, affectionate & abundantly joyful.
She is also very energetic.
She loves to run and play
and especially enjoys "butt-tucking".
We call her "Butt-Tuckin' Annie"...
We also call her CRAZY ANNIE..
That's okay though cause'
butt-tucking is also referred to
as the "CRAZIES"
Hey, who are ya calling a butt-tucker?
I'm not the only Labrador around here that likes to tuck my butt.
Have you observed Vikki lately???
And, just for future reference.....
Butt-tucking is not limited to Labradors, ya know.
It is a completely natural activity.
It happens to be the way canines burn off excess energy.
Maybe you should try a little butt-tucking yourself.
YOU SEEM TO BE
A LITTLE
STRESSED.
[and NO, I am not hiding Sierra's toy behind my paw.]
[For dog's only]
Hello Fellow Canines!
This is Annie.
I am going to offer you
some very valuable advise.
Are you tired of sitting & staring out the window?
Would you like to go to the park,
retrieve your jolly ball or take a nice walk?
Well, this is all ya gotta do...
Please keep in mind at all times
that the element of suprise
is crucial for a successful mission.
When no one is expecting it...
Suddenly start running in circles at TOP SPEED.
Get in your best pounce position
with your front low
and your butt high.
[Demonstration photo graciously donated by Vikki]
Hmmmmmm,....Have I proven my point??????
Okay, back to the mission....
After you have mastered the pounce position...
Start chasing your tail...
and then simply tuck your rear underneath.
Keep it really low & really tight.
Skoot away really fast,
circle a few more times,
and then tuck your butt again.
If you have a really long hallway~
butt tuck, run down the hall real fast ~
butt-tuck again,
bark a few times for added enjoyment,
then spin wildly, and fly back into the livingroom.
The crazier you can act ~ the better.
Always watch out for small children.
Don't worry about the cat!
Spin & tuck your butt again.
It just goes like this...
POUNCE...
Skoot...
Spin,Spin, Spin, Spin, Spin, Spin,
Tuck your butt & hold as long as possible.
Skoot away quickly.....and repeat.
It's a lot more fun
if all the humans in your household
have jumped up on the furniture
to stay out of your way.
JUST THINK CRAZY
If you are getting a little bored,
and would like to go outside to play,
just go into your best butt tuck routine.
You'll be running free
in fresh air & sunshine
in no time at all.
And if the mission is a bust.......
Well,as they say......
THE SUN WILL COME OUT TOMORROW.
*Do not confuse butt-tuckin'
with butt-skootin'.
For butt-skootin'
you may need to visit your vet.
We actually encourage butt-tucking at our house.
It is a great way to release all that extra energy.
I kinda start them off with a play stomp.
I just stomp my foot
as if I am going to chase them.
I guess you could say,
"I just wind them up & watch 'em go".
Then I just let them go as long as they wish.
[or as long as I can stand it]
If your Lab is butt-tucking ~
relax & enjoy it....
They just need some exercise.
Butt-tucking is simply
a quick release of energy
and one of the things
that Labradors do best.
It is advisable to stay out of the way.
It is also advisable
to take them outside
as soon as possible.

Mommy hasn't been very successful with the camera.
That's 'cause we run very, very fast.
It is pretty difficult to take photos
when you are hanging from the chandelier.
