The Smackdown!

Joey and I truly compliment each other ... because we are both quirky and embarassing. And he embarassed me again with his signature move today.

Normally, I don't embarass him in public. I'm sure he doesn't know what to think when I grab him and throw an inpromptu 'dance party.' I realize that when I talk to him in my crazy made-up doggie-talk language, he doesn't understand it anymore than he understands English. And I'm not quite sure he likes it when I take his name and drop it into some hip-hop or old school R&B song (the latest is a Joey-fied version of the Black Eyed Peas Boom Boom Pow) - but I like to think he kind of does : ).

In my defense though, he embarasses me too - and its usually in public. When walking, he runs up people's driveways and barks at them, while they are minding their own business in their own yards. I've already blogged about his propensity to want to poop in yards where people are outside and able to watch him.

But there is one thing he does that absolutely takes the cake: the booty-smackdown. Here's what happens. We're walking and we come across another small dog. They sniff each other and walk around each other. Then, out of nowhere Joey will swing around and slap the other dog in the face with his butt. The other dog usually just stares in bewilderment. The chichaucha today did that. And what did Joey do? He butt-smacked him several more times.

If he were kickboxing, it would probably look like a roundhouse kick. Everyone laughs and no victim of the booty-smackdown has ever seen anything like it. Whose dog smacks other dogs in the face with his booty? Mine does. And it's so embarassing.
