Is this normal?

Mojo does it too. We he's ready to play, we call it "he assumes the position"!!!!
-
My 13-year-old B still does it. He caps it off with a spin, then either play bows again or races off, daring you to chase him. We call it the Exorcist spin, because he swivels around like Linda Blair's head. I've never seen another dog do it, but he always has. It cracks people up!

Many if not most do Linda Blair with their heads. :) My Arwen does spins… levitates and spins. Bizarre. Others here say their dogs do too, but please video for us!

If you want to see your dogs really play, get down on the ground with your elbows on the floor and your butt in the air..
At first, my 2 stopped, shocked, where they stood..when I pounded my arms on the floor they just began to play…just joyous...
don't do this with company, however, they will think your as odd as I am!!! -

Wonder if anybody else's dogs respond this way to their human's antics?

I do the same thing!!!
We face each other in pounce position, take turn pounding our hands/paws, and then he takes off into the B500 around me. Sometimes he'll bring a toy over, then it really gets crazy, lol! -
