What inspires your happy dance?

Everybody has a happy dance. Some are subtle head bobs and some consist of jumping up on couches, giggling like a child and putting your head in your hands, rinse and repeat. But what makes you do your happy dance? Falling in love, getting a promotion, a piece of chocolate raspberry cheesecake?

Dogs are no different; they all have happy dances too. Sometimes their happy dances include a simple wag of a tail while others might jump and bark and wag and lick, and sometimes the happy dance may include urination. The causes of happy dances for dogs are usually quite simple. A treat, a walk or ride in the car, a visitor, a ball, a new toy, etc.

Rudy’s happy dance involves lots of jumping and it’s when he gets to go for a walk.
Abby’s happy dance is very calm, a wagging tail and usually when some member of the family comes home.

Sienna’s happy dance is about the cutest dance there is. She jumps in circles, while running forwards, then backwards, then forward again, all the way to her dish. The cause – breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nothing gets her more excited than knowing it’s time to eat.

FYI – my happy dance usually involves a trip to Starbucks!
