Shih-Tzu Has the Most Adorable Way of Flopping to Lie Down – Yahoo
I love it when pet parents share videos that capture their pets’ quirks, and this one from TikToker @edwardfloofers totally made our day! They introduced us to Edward, their adorable Shih-Tzu, and his signature move is flopping when he lies down, and it has the internet swooning.
Edward doesn’t just plop down like most dogs. Nope; he goes full belly-to-the-floor, stretching his front and back legs straight out in opposite directions every single time, and it's total cuteness overload!
Edward's dramatic flops are known as splooting, and viewers loved watching him do it. @Nat Geo Animals even left a comment, impressed by Edward's skills, "That's a good sploot!" @You Tube added, "Exhaustion never looked so cute!" Edward's parents replied, "Ah, yes, the rare and majestic House Floof in its natural splooting habitat."
Watching dogs and cats sploot always brings a smile to our faces, and Edward's mom has crowned him king of the sploot! In fact, she shared another video showing even more of his sploots, and it's the content we are here for!
The full sploot: With the classic sploot, both hind legs are stretched out behind their body. Cats and short-legged dog breeds like corgis and Chihuahuas like the full sploot.
