Brody has recently stopped just 'chasing' his toys when we throw them. He is now 'stalking' them. We throw the toy, he slowly 'stalks' it and when he's about 3 feet away he will jump and pounce on it...

Yes Lori, mine do too!!! At the dog park they can be feet away from each other and Kona does her sloooooowwww stalk and Buddy does his sit stalk and just when they are about to reach each other they pounce LOLOLOL
Rick calls Kona's stalk down the hallway her "runway walk", it is so funny how she slowly puts one foot in front of the other like a model walking down the runway :)
Tanner used to do it all the time when he was younger.....I loved it..It looked so cute when he would stalk his toys...He doesn't do it as muck now that he is older....If you come toward him slowly, especially if you are coming down over the steps, he will stay at the bottom of the steps and slowly put his head down...I just love the cute little things that he does!
Cute - you should post a video so we can see it! One of mine likes to shake her stuffed animals until she's sure they're dead. Of course she does the same thing with real squirrels, mice and rabbits... it's sometimes hard to accept that your fluffy cute dog is really a natural born killer!
Halas shakes things like this, too. I play on the floor really close to him, so I've taken a few solid headbuts when he starts to shake something. And they have to kill the stuffies. Otherwise, who knows what the stuffies will do to us.
Lily pounces her toys, and then will shake them vigorously while bucking up and down like a rodeo horse. One of her new things she does is stalk the squirrels that hang out near our bird feeder. She looks so cute from behind, all serious and alert with one paw up and then taking a quiet step, and then suddenly running at the squirrel... the squirrel runs up a tree and Lily doesn't know to look up. It's a riot.
Brody does this type of thing with his toys. He has no idea that we threw it behind him...and just looks at us like...Uh...where'd it go?? Its like we have to turn him around so he can watch us throw it and he can see where it lands! Too funny!!
