I'd love to take credit for these oddities but The retriever just started mousing off her own accord. We're not really sure why. And though i did teach the other one 'roll-over' originally, the pure passion is all his own. He does a whole sequence of tricks around that one, he's even won awards bless him!

This is a bull-terrier we're talking about here, he's not exactly graceful. His whole strategy is literally to throw himself on his side and then launch himself over with the momentum of swinging all his legs (sometimes front ones leading a bit). It really is quite hilarious to watch and is probably a good percentage of peoples decisions to let him win his awards. You can't see the look of pure concentration on his face in this photo, even when he gets it wrong you still have to give him his treat for the pure effort. Or he nicks it while you're bent over laughing uncontrollably.
Not as stupid as he looks/acts this one.
