Grace is a big dog at heart but often gets stuck in the most inconvenient postitions.

When daddy drives (I mean Mario Andretti) they tend to fall into that position in the back seat.  :)

Maia is good at getting excited and falling on her head.  It is hard to describe but I will try.

As she jumps around her front foot or feet will buckle and down she goes on her head.  She will either hop back up or proceed with her excitement on the floor. 

She also still walks under Rocco even though she is as big as him.  The best is when she tries to stand up completely before she is out from under him and she picks his back feet off the floor.  I think she will always walk under him even when she is a lot bigger than him.  The funny part is he stands there like nothing is happening.
I'll try to get a picture of her going underneath.
Thanks,

For years Greta has been in the opposite position - with her front end up on the bed/couch and her hind paws on the floor.  She has always needed her rear end boosted up for her.

Yeah, our guys are total dorks too.  Ranger seems to have no idea that his back end is actually connected to his front end.  

Also, he has a giant tennis ball (like, 3 feet in diameter giant) and sometimes when he is playing with it, he will get both front feet up over the top of it and kind of roll forward over it til it is stuck under his belly.  Since it is so big, he can't get off, and has to just balance there, touching only one foot to the floor at a time, til someone comes to rescue him.

When he was going to class at the Humane Society, his teachers would say "We just love Ranger, he is so regal and dignified."  We were always like "Excuse me, have you MET him?"

My fiance' got it for them at PETCO (he actually works there - not the greatest job in the world, but yay discount!)

If he ever gets out of bed this morning, I will get the details on it for you - if they usually carry them, how much it cost, etc.
