Another post about the BBD

When it comes to tricks, she has a limited repertoire. I wouldn’t mind teaching her more, but she’s kind of stubborn and it’s impossible for me to pick her up and move her around. For example, I can’t teach her how to roll over because she is way too big for me to physically roll over, I’d have to wait till she came up with the idea of her own volition.
Anyway, she does have one trick that she loves to do and she usually does it while I’m on the phone. I call it the “worm”, because she lies on her back and writhes, kicking her back legs like she’s pedaling a bike. She also sounds like she’s getting killed, making sounds like a cross between a hyena and a locomotive.
I found this video on YouTube, and the coyote kind of reminded me of the BBD doing her worm, although I think the BBD is about twice as big as a fox (or am I thinking of coyotes?). I would love to tape her and put her online for everyone to see, but she usually quits worming just as soon as she hears the camera case opening.
