Amazing Flying Dog Trick

Here's Mochi's new trick -- the Amazing Flying Dog Trick. Russ plays tug-of-war with a training buoy, and as Mochi has gotten stronger, she holds onto the rope ferociously. And so the "Amazing Flying Dog Trick" has evolved.









This trick goes very fast as Russ spins around, so I had to use the rapid-fire-shutter setting on the camera to capture the action. Since Russ is a former gymnast, he understands the mechanics of tricks like this, and has been able to teach Mochi. At first she was able to do a 360, now she's able to do a full 720.

Wow - I just hope Mochi doesn't end up 'hefty', or else teeth might get pulled out! Yikes!

We used to do that with Maggie, but she is too old and can't hang on that long anymore!!

I love it! My Mr. Magoo (minature pinscher) used to do that in his younger days. He's going on 16 now, so his flying days are over. Thanks for the great memory :)

I just started laughing with glee when I saw this. Just hilarious. Your pictures are great. I wonder how long Russ and Mochi will be able to perform this trick.
