Whats your dogs Crazy Weird Habit? (fun topic) - Page 3

Both my young male and the puppy will retreive a stainless steel feeding dish and carry it into the livingroom on the carpet and proceed to push it around with either their nose or front feet-dig at it and the puppy continually barks while doing it-she gets really focused on it-the puppy picks up the top dish from the stack I store between feedings . . . .

She likes to bite the trunks of trees. Big trees. Mostly out of frustration when the squirrel gets away (which is always). Our UPS driver commented once that on his drive in, that he said it looks like a bear has marked the trees with claw marks. Nope, just our crazy girl Bera. ;-)

OK- hear goes.....Kali, my 6 year old girl, is my big kitty-cat. She will bonk your leg with her head & rub up against you like a cat. And when we sit down out side, if I am wearing flip-flops, I swear she will try to sit her butt right down on my big toe, then look back at me over her shoulder like she's laughing at me! She will also 'mock' fight with me, barking, snarling, & hitting my hands with her teeth, running like a crazy fool all over the house--but never biting....she seems to understand just how much she can get away with, & the moment I stop playing, she turns off, & looks at me like 'Who me? Well I never....not me!"
Beckett, is Mr. Serious. He is aloof, but totally devoted. When we are out together, he is my shadow. Until I whip out........the Stick! Then he is a crazed monster. He is King of Sticks. after a storm, when there are sticks scattered about the property, Beckett is in his glory, free sticks everywhere, & he doesn't have to work for them, just pick them up. And he does, one after another, & prances around with them like a big goof-ball! If only I could teach him to put them all in a pile, I'd have it made.
My husband's baby Lil' Bit is the Giant Tongue. She will 'wash' you from head to toe in greeting, & she has the longest, slobberiest tongue.......yuck!
And last, but not least is my baby Ansgar. Since her illness & surgery when she was 7 months old, she has decided she is my lap dog, & will, if allowed, first put her head in my lap, then 1 paw, then another paw, & when she's trying to sneak her rear legs up into my lap it's really fun.....first off, they don't fit, & she truly thinks she can pull this off without me noticing that there's a 70# GSD in my lap!! The look on her face is the punch line, if I ask her, "What are you doing?", she looks away, her ears go sideways, she rolls her eyes...it's hysterical.....like a kid caught in the cookie jar! So funny!  jackie harris

Ikon's favorite new game is "Get that Damn thing outta the HOUSE!!"  He gets huge chunks of Firewood and struts around the yard with them (I'm talking about a 5 lb hunk) then he tries to bring them in thru the LR to gnaw beside my desk.  We've gotten into my yellin for him to "Get that Damn thing outta the HOUSE!!!" and he'll shake his head and give me some verbal guff then strut out the back door to the yard.  This will go on for a good hour or more, as long as I will play the game with him.  When I stop ordering it/him outta the house he gets bored and finds some newspaper so shred.  *sigh*  he is VERY nosy, and VERY clever at finding things to amuse both himself and us.

My goofy girl likes to shred paper, tissues, toilet paper, paper towels...she will leave the raw hamburger alone to snatch the paper towel nex to it.  The weirdest thing she does is humps her bedding.  She will use her front paws to pull it up into a mound and start humping away.  She's not making any kind of contact with it, just humping motions above it.  Then I guess out of frustration she starts tearing them up.  At this time she no longer has any bedding.  She has shredded all of it and is eyeballing the pillows on the couch.  And as I type this she just let the loudest fart into my carpet and looked over her shoulder like something had snuck up and goosed her.  Love this idiot dog.

OH, forgot to mention, in the years I've owned dogs, most of them have given a polite little burp now and then, the sort a human would do in polite company when they absolutely had to.

Last spring my roomie Julie and I were eating breakfast when this loud BUUURRRP! just about rattled the window panes. I knew it wasn't her and it certainly wasn't ME.

"What was that?" I asked, surprised.

"Your pup just burped!" she said, laughing.

The pup in question, my shiloh, Teena, was in her cage in the next room, eating her breakfast.

If it's true that a dog that burps won't ever bloat, then I will NEVER have to worry about Teena! 

I know this kinda sounds "cliche" of a dog chasing his tail. But my dog Tazer really does chase his tail. He does it pretty much every day when hes bored. He amuses himself doing this! It goes on for about a couple of mins or so until he gets ahold of it too hard and surprises himself.

My current pups don't do anything odd but my old male GSD was a nut.  We couldn't contain him in the fence to save our life.  We had a 6 foot chainlink with electric wire around the top and bottom and he would unplug the wires and hop on the doghouse and sail over the fence.  We had the fence and the hot tub plugged in and he knew which one to unplug.  Go figure.  We eventually switched the lower wire to horse fencing wire and a higher charge but it only took him a few days to figure out how to short it out and dig under the fence.  Eventually we gave up and took the fence down.

He also was ALWAYS "ON" no off button for that dog.  He would drop the ball in your lap, head on your lap or he loved to lick sweaty salty feet....ewwwww.

Best dog ever though, I haven't had a GSD since that could hold a candle to him.  He was my first love.
