The trouble with roaching

Recently, I had fun putting together my post about roaching.  However, many of the people who commented stated that they didn't know what roaching is.  So, I am going to try to clarify ...

I want to know what boot camp these dogs attended, that they have this skill of "roaching"!  They obviously didn't get "posed" by the photographer, but really knew how to roach.

Thanks so much to the "blog sisters" who allowed me to use their photos to illustrate this subject.

I suppose by now you can tell that I am a bit jealous of the people whose dogs roach.  I really enjoy the idea.  I just can't get the babies to perform!

Update:  This morning, Fleur gave a signal to Power, they switched beds, and Fleur roached!  She stayed in that position for hours!

She moved her head to follow me when I was moving about in the motorhome, but stayed on her back!
Did one of you blogging greyhounds send her a telepathy message telling her to get on the ball about roaching?
Life is wonderful, isn't it?

Roach!

Yesterday Fleur roached for the first time in my view.  I reached for my camera and zip! She flipped back to upright position so fast it might have been in my imagination. 

 I thought for a short second that the roaching was going to be a new habit.

I think the position lasted about 2-5 seconds!

Then the next night she roached for a few seconds! I had the fleeting thought that I would get to enjoy years of relaxed roaching by Fleur.

I came in from work Monday, and Chica was sitting in my La-z-boy, and as I entered the motorhome  she turned over onto her back, exposing her soft belly.  I reached for my camera, and without a sound, she rotated to lying upright before I could even get it turned on.

I'm not leaving any witness to my up belly!

I've had my eyes on Power for every day of the last 9 months, and have not found him roaching.

Mom, is this roaching?  I want to make your blog interesting!

I thought that this expression was your favorite, MOM!

I'm very relaxed in this position, MOM.  Why isn't this what you want?

Fleur says"these tutoring sessions with Power are tough!  You are going to owe me big time, Mom!

I think Power has a lovely sweet face, but each time I mention it, Fleur says"  Mom that's not a lovely sweet face, that's a dumb expression!

See, MOM!  He's in the water, and not on his back!

I haven't figured out how to have all those legs, like a roach!

I thought this was my mother bunny, not a roach!  How am I supposed to do a roach without a roach!

This is my favorite playing position.  Isn't it cuter than a cockroach?

I give up, MOM!  I've tried to satisfy you but you're hard to please!

More horses! and more page views!

Horses near beach camping area.

Getting a drink

that water was so-o-o-o good!

It's so much fun to see the horses throughout the state park.  I really think they add so much to the atmosphere! Not to mention the horse poop that is everywhere.  If any person's dogs left poop, people would complain loudly, but not a single complaint about the horse poop.

The comments from our campers goes like this:   I have fresh horse poop in my campsite.  They must have been there just before I woke up!  I hope they come back! 

I also wanted to say thanks to all you readers who contributed to the 16000 number of page views!  I'm so new to blogging that it's very exciting to me!
