waddle

Play, a four-year-old French bulldog, waddled down the street in Noho.

The usually vain and anxious mother-to-be spent her afternoons waddling contentedly through the new tulip garden.

Her waddling gait was a snail’s pace compared to the ostrich’s swift departure, but for Mrs. Clarke it was remarkably quick.

Mrs. Clarke had been upstairs looking for something, but now she waddled down to see what all the ruckus was about.

They floated there, quietly cleaning their feathers, until, below the water, their webbed feet started paddling, and they swam to shore and waddled onto a pebble beach.
