Tartok 1

Hi, everyone, Tartok here.

Tartok 2

This may look easy, but this is actually very difficult to do.

Believe it or not, each picture in this post is a separate and distinct photograph.

    Tartok: Do you teach any classes that my dog R could attend? He needs your guidance.

    maybe he is just ‘airing his undies’ like the cat Sylvester over at Katnip Lounge????

    Woo, Tartok! The mark of a true professional – you make it look so easy! I know what hard work and what an art form it is!
    Luv,

    My sib aries loved that position as well. I now have a german sheperd named Bruce that loves to lay like that too. Is it a boy thing?

    Not just any dog can hold down the carpet so precisely, Tartok! You’ve raised it to an art form!

    Maddox starts sneezing. He can’t hold that position for long at all.

    Also, based on the pictures of Tartok you have shared here – are we sure he is a Siberian Husky? I mean, really. I know Ruby is, and he LOOKS like one… but I am not sure that he is one. Srsly.

    You should look into that.

    Most impressive!

    Great technique! We must try it out here!!

    Ahhhhh, Ayla’s favorite position, too. Only she has a bit more trouble staying like that for very long, ends up using her tail as a “stabilizer” to help her stay on her back. Looks most uncomfortable, but she loves to lay like that, and stretch out her back muscles.

Wings of Doom

December 12, 2024

A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
