Has anyone else noticed that a cockers wagging tail starts from the shoulders backward?  :lol2:

Oh yes, I definitely have that kind of greeting  :005: especially first thing in the morning! She can barely walk towards me because her whole body is sway-wiggling so much  :luv: :lol2:

Yep - we have the full body wag here - especially when someone comes home (eg DH after work).

I love it when Toby is playing "find it".  His tail wags so much it hits his ribs each side  :005:  (Could never have a docked cocker now, love the tail so much).

Charlie does this too - when he is very, very excited he can barely walk he's wagging so much - first time he did this I thought he'd hurt his leg

Even if you can only see Nerys' head, you can tell her tail is wagging  :lol2:  Even though she has a docked tail, I have never seen a tail wag so fast!
