I was giving Lily (our secretary) a ride home yesterday afternoon when we were astonished to see this pooch frozen, motionless, for an extended time, in this very odd position. It cracked Lily up...maybe you had to be there, I don't know.

| Que Haces Perrito? |
We watched him for several minutes and his body never twitched. He did not seem to be holding down a lizard or bug with his paws, because his attention was not always focused on his paws...he was casually looking around. But never moving out of this weird position.
Right smack in the middle of the street, of course. Cars drove slowly past him. We drove past him. He didn't move.
He also did not seem to be sick or injured in the least. He was bright eyed and calm.

| A few minutes later. No change. |
This reminded me of people on the malecon who freeze into position for several minutes as a form of performance art. Maybe he was trained by one of those people. But, there was no doggie dish nearby in which to throw a treat.
Maybe he had a back ache and was doing some self-imposed traction. I might try that position on my back at home tonight.
Or just maybe, he was a she, in search of a little romance, and striking a seductive pose?
Lily reports he finally walked away, perfectly normally, perfectly nonchalant.
