Both bullies are totally obsessed with the tree. For some unknown reason it sends them into some kind of a weird trance and makes them walk in slow motion. Fricking weirdo's

Cuddles my little girls Dwarf Hamster..

I know. I'm not home enough. Back and forth between my place and BF's right now. Not fair to a pet. I saw that picture and fell in love...

Man, you people have some ugly animals.

You can claim a partial share in Maggie if you'd like. She has enough personality for many, many people.

My animals have ugly people...

Charlie is one cool cat.

Allow me to explain...it is called "trancing". Mine do it too.

Bull Terriers have two characteristics which are unique to the breed. The first is that they ‘trance’ (or ‘ghost walk’ or ‘weed walk’). Trancing mode is turned on by walking under a bush so that the leaves tickle the dog’s back.

The dog’s eyes glaze and movement is in ultra slow motion; the dog almost looks as though it is stalking prey whilst sleep walking. A bush is not essential, they will do it under a table cloth if it hangs down to the right level, or perhaps the family Christmas tree. Don’t tell your vet about this - few vets know anything about the breed and they would only want to refer your dog to a neurologist (and probably you to a psychiatrist).

In sharp contrast, the second unique activity takes place at top speed. It is variously called ‘freaking’, a ‘mad five’ or in the USA ‘hucklebutting’. The dog suddenly takes off at full speed and sprints all over the house, round rooms, in and out of furniture, often in a figure of eight. The best ‘freaks’ involve going at full speed head first towards a wall/door/piece of furniture, and then at the last minute doing a half turn to slam sideways into the obstacle, bouncing off it and then continuing at full speed. This activity usually last for two or three minutes only, though it can be triggered or prolonged with a little encouragement. Freaking is an effective way of removing the legs from delicate antiques or denting the fridge door. During these displays all humans should remain perfectly still - the dog will aim to miss them. Similarly, when sprinting in the garden a BT considers it funny to run a full speed straight for you, then at the last second swerve to miss. It is extremely important for their humans not to lose their nerve and try to side step - going the wrong way will result in some very bruised legs!

TM can I be a pain in the ass and ask you to change your above comment and post the video as a seperate comment?

The way Plime messes up videos make it almost impossible to read with out scrolling left to right like some kind of demented thing.

Ta.

Why do they do it?

Trancing video

No idea. One of the many quirks they have.

Funny to watch though. My Lilo loves our Christmas tree and Stitch trances in weeds.

Great stuff. I've asked around a few bullie forums and it seems every bullie in the world does it lol.

Great to watch but I've redecorated the friggin' tree like 12 times already.

The white bullie does it 24/7 since the tree went up and the brown one only occasionally. White bullie is totally OCD though so it's no surprise.

I'll try and get a video but our camcorder is currently fooked

This one cracks me up.

HAhahahaha, that's exactly what Bendy does!! Brilliant!

Okay, it is really official. I want a bullie.

WooHoo. Do it!!
