Biscuit does this quite a lot, but think it's a learnt behaviour as we laugh at her whenever she does it.. we call her froggy legs  Laughing

This is interesting as Rocky never this pose (in the post above) although he is part Border Collie so this may be why not  Laughing He does herd us into the bedroom if we are late going to bed though  Love Struck
