do your dogs ever make you laugh.......... - Page 1

My uncle has a resue dog that has become great friends with my female Wandy. For the past week he has been bringing a small football on his visits  They rough house and play tag with it, he always takes it with him when he leaves.

When we went out this morning, the football was just outside the door. Wandy looked at it, looked around for Buster, snatched up the ball, buried it at the base of a large boulder and shoved leaves over it.

I know it's instinctive behavior, but it made me laugh out loud. Reminded me of me and my sister when we were kids.

That even made me LOL!  Life can be funny sometimes soak it up when you can :-)

Ohhh, yes!  Probably the hardest I've ever laughed was when I gave my very first GSD a President's Choice dog biscuit. Now, Dave Nichols was on TV flogging these things for Loblaw's, and telling everyone how much his dog LOVED them!

Lili was very much a lady, very dignified and gentle. She was also a bit of a finicky eater at times. My friend's dogs would scarf down the bread she gave them, but Lili wouldn't touch it unless it had butter on it. She sniffed the biscuit carefully for a minute before taking it from my hand. When she did take it, I could tell she was doing it reluctantly, just to be polite. She almost immediately dropped it on the floor, and sniffed it again and gave it a lick. She picked it up again, then dropped it a second time. After further investigation, she made up her mind. She picked it up and headed down the hall. I followed her, burning with curiosity.

She trotted out the back door, which was open, and proceded to BURY the biscuit in the garden!

I felt like writing Dave Nichols a letter!

yes they do and they know it aswell, u can see it in there eyes.

I'll contribute to this.....

Back in the day, my son had a big ol' dog that was supposed to be a collie/GSD cross, but he looked more like a St. Bernard. We called him B.U.D. (or big ugly dog), or Buddha when we were feeling more charitable towards him. Because, even tho' we saved him from being dropped off at the pound as a puppy, he was an in corrigible thief & chewer. Well, as most of you know, we live in the woods. Buddha had a cleared area in the yard, a run that was about 20' long, & his very own dog house, which he refused to enter. When he was very bad in the house, he got booted outdoors, which wasn't a bad thing, he had water from the hose faucet, lots of shade, cool grassy lawn or soft wooded areas, really, a doggy delight.

Except for the turkeys.

We had wild turkeys that had a kind of path through our property, & I'll tell you, they defended it. Poor Bud tried to "Woof" at a big old Tom one day with a bunch of hens, & next thing you knew, ol' Buddha was trying to disappear under the porch, with that Tom right on his butt, literally! Buddha was traumatized, & would whine & balk when it was time to go outside from then on, & even tried to prove to me, on several occasions, that it wasn't necessary for him to go out, as he could just as easily crap on the living room rug! (just LOVED that dog).

Well, fast forward to the day after Thanksgiving, & I had given up struggling with Bud to go out for that day, & he was hiding under the coffee table to make himself invisible. I had my huge half eaten turkey carcass on the kitchen table, ready to be sliced up into sandwich meat that would see my son & I through a few more days. The phone rang, & of course it was something I needed to get a pen from the bedroom for, so off I went......well, when I returned, both Buddha & the turkey were gone!

I was SO furious! There went my lunches for the week! I went storming out of the house, realizing the turkey was history, but toying with some murderous ideas about that damn dog, when I saw him with his pilfered goods. He wasn't eating the turkey, but burying it at the very spot where the Tom turkey's path entered our property! And he left one leg from the carcass sticking out, as fair warning! I laughed my butt off.....we called that Buddha's Turkey Mojo......& it worked! that was nearly 14 years ago, & I have never seen another turkey on the property!

They make me laugh all the time. My youngest, Essa, is very funny and clever. She is my toy gatherer-gets all the toys, balls, whatever and then lays on them so no one else can get them. IF someone has the nerve to have one that she wants, she will go and pick their favorite toy out and parade around in front of them, like"look what IIIIII have". When the "victim" gets up to chase her, she drops what she has and then grabs the one that she wanted. The other dogs fall for it every time...it' hilarious.

Every day and multiple times a day. They never fail to make a bad day bright again with their antics and thinking process and clowning.

A couple of weeks back we had a tree cut down in the garden and the logs produced were left around the base of the bird feeding table.

By the time I took the hound out for his blast in the evening it was pitch dark and as usual got him to sit & stay while I open the back door and then the command OK for him to go out. He does his usual and charges out straight to the bird table to scavenge any bits of bread he can find.....

All I heard was a muffled thud and a quick yelp. Eyes like a cat and all senses on a fine hair trigger you know.

I had a female GSD that was about 9 yrs old.  we went to visit my sister-in-law one day, she had a little Yorkie they loved to play together but the Yorkie would bark and yap at the kids when they would walk down the sidewalk.  On this day they were both out in the back yard with the Yorkie yapping, then all of the sudden it went quite,we heard a squeak noise and we looked out to see what was going on and My GSD had dug a hole had her paw on top of the Yorkie while trying to push dirt over her with her nose, it was really funny.  I think Santana, my GSD was sick of hearing her bark.

Loki was 4 months old, my husband got after him for something (I don't rememberwhat but I do remember it was not something to get after Loki about), Loki waited until my husband was in the shower, grabbed an item of clothing off the counter and yipped.  My husband told him to leave it, Loki yipped again and backed out of the bathroom.  My husband had a towel around himself and followed him as Loki ran down stairs and held the item over his water bowl.  When my husband backed up the stairs, Loki took the item away from the water bowl, my husband went down a few stairs and Loki held it over the water bowl.  This went on for a few more times with the same results, the item was being held hostage.  Finally my husband ran down the stairs, Loki dropped the item into the water bowl then put his front foot on it.  Similar thing happened years later, the trainer accidently hit Loki on the head with the stick during bite work hard (I heard the contact).  Loki roared (yup, like a lion) and tried to get the trainer.  We called it quits and I watched Loki like a hawk around the trainer for months (we never had to do "friends", Loki knew when bitework was done) without incident. 8 months later when doing bite work and Loki behaving like his old self, we were walking back to our cars with Loki playfully  "bubbing" the trainer's leg with his head like he has always done. Without warning, he grabbed the trainer's bare elbow in his teeth firmly (no skin breakage), held it (we froze with me yelling "out"), Loki just stared at the trainer for a few, then let him go and trotted up to the car, he never did it again.  Trainer said that dog has a sense of fairness that best be respected.
