The freaky things your dog(s) does

[Rubyfruit]

Mine, bless her golden retriever heart, picks up the kids shoes after they've gone to bed and follows me around crying.

My little mutt gets mad if I talk on the cellphone...
She gets all jealous and starts barking like mad

If I'm on the regular phone she'll just come and stare at me, but no barking...

My CAT lays on her back with her paws curled into her chest. And she'll only drink water if it's from the leaky faucet in the bathtub, so her head is always wet.

 

[patient1]

Oh, you mean like, blow the car horn at other dogs?

Or try to pull me away from the phone by the pant cuff, & when that doesn't work she'll chase her tail to make me laugh.

My dog used to eat the rose buds , chew them and then spit them out. She would do this all the time, I found it amusing while my mother thought it was wrong , cause her roses would never bloom.

My dog has learned the fine art of climbing the orange tree.

Aiko has this new game: she comes up to me yowling till she has my full attention, then runs to the back door and paws at it until I pick her up and take her outside. The two of us sit outside for a few minutes, her in my lap. She sniffs the air and looks around. Then we go back inside, and she goes about her business. But if I don't take her outside, she'll do the yowling/running thing over & over.

She also likes to sit in boxes. If I bring a box into the house, she'll immediately crawl into it and stay there for half an hour.

is Aiko registered with the AKC?

my akita likes to play with a hula-hoop

 

[Rubyfruit]

mea culpa

I should have included cats in this title. God knows they do even freakier things than dogs.

My last cat, Gable, would beg for food. He was a chow hound! I couldn't leave bread on the counter, otherwise he'd break into it and I'd come home to tiny pieces of plastic and crumbs all over the house.

Once, I watched in utter amazement and horror, as he seemingly flew through the air with his mouth wide open, snatching half a piece of pizza out of my friend's hand.

It was an awesome sight. Truly.

 

[Laurel]

She sure is, the little snot. She acts like it, too.

If you could teach your Akita hula-hoop to music, you could get on morning talk shows.

LMAO! When Aiko was a kitten, she jumped up, stole a piece of lettuce off my sandwich, and ran under the couch. LETTUCE! Why would a cat want lettuce? For the same reasons a cat would want pizza, I guess.

but I wanna be on Letterman....

if I could get him to stop stealing my socks, I'd give myself a prize

 

[Bindii]

There used to be a Basset hound that lived down the street from my Grandmother's house. This dog was well known in the neighbourhood for stealing; of all things soap! The damn thing used to sneak into houses in search of the stuff.....hilarious really. His owner had such a lovely collection of used soap bars.

One of my dad's dogs used to bark at lamp posts. Freaked the fuck out of me when I walked him at night. Like, what does he see up there?

 

[freakygirl]

Sara.. my purebred Golden says "num num" and on occasion she slips up and says "momma"

Samantha.. my purebred mutt is the biggest sigher I've ever seen (worse than my kids).. if she doesn't get her way.. she sighs. She also "goes to her room" when told. Her room is upstairs.. and the look on her face when she is ready to come down is priceless..

I swear my dogs were human at one time..

 

[freakygirl]

oh.. forgot the cat.

Cassandra Ball Buster (don't ask) or Cass for short.. thinks she is a dog.. she sits.. shakes and fetches.

She used to steal cigarettes (preferably lit ones) and hide them

Thank god she outgrew that trick

 

[Rubyfruit]

OMG, the cigarette thing

I met a dog once, in Mexico of all places. This dog went fucking nuts over cigarette smoke. He loved it. He would prance around and make happy sounds when ever one was lit in his presense.

 

[Sillyman]

My cat will bat at and try to eat things that don't even exist.

My sisters cat also would follow her into the bathroom and turn her underwear into an impromtu hammock.

 

[freakygirl]

Something else I just thought of

Sara is 2 years old, we got her when she was barely 8 weeks old.. when she was old enough to go out by herself (actually after we got the yard fenced) she found her self a rock.. nothing special.. just a small stone.. kinda brown colored. Well to this day she still has that rock. It disappears in the winter and the first sunny day we have.. it appears again. Like she hides it for the winder.. *shrugs* You can't touch her rock.. she packs it all over (including the house)

Samantha, has picked up on this habit also. Only her rock is bigger and round.. looks like a tennis ball that has turned to stone.

We walk our dogs every morning on a nature trail just outside of town. They take their rocks.. even though they swim and try to catch the ducks.. the rocks always make it home..

it's the weirdest thing

 

[Andreina]

the dog of my ex loves to eat raw carrots

he is weird. (you decide if i mean my ex or the dog)


Halo

Just wanted to tell you that I think you are wicked funny.

can my guinea pig qualify as a dog? hehehe

anyways, my guinea pig Poldi (short for "Leopold") will only eat tomatoes if you cut a bit away from the tomato so that he can bite right into it. he only eats one variety of apples (the most expensive, of course) and you have to remove the pips from the apples an quater them. he prefers a certain brand of cereal which is hamster food.
he also likes to have his cage cleaned twice a week but not when he is just taking a nap. then he might piss all over you when you try to clean his "bed". his hidey hole has to be a shoebox because he goes mad and pretends to be a snail and drags it to whereever he decides to go. he is also biting him a "window" in one side of the shoebox when he gets a new one so that the can look at us from all angels. and he likes getting a bath and having a swim in the bathtub and then a rub down with a fluffy towel.

i swear my guinea pig was a rich bastard billionaire in his previous life.

Halo

When I was very young we had a mongrel mutt called Purdey (after Joanna Lumley's "New Avengers" character, even though the dog was male...) He went a bit psycho and one day we came back from a picknick to find he'd chewed the kitchen door off its hinges... After that (and other incedents, one involving the chewing of car tyres, on the car, WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION!) Purdey "Went to live on a farm" If you know what I mean.

Now cats... Oh yes, here we go!
Tom Cat, the cat who used to play in the sprinkler jet, take baths with me and refuse to come inside when it rained. I think he must have miss understood about the whole cat/water relationship thing.

Then there was Abigail, (think: Bagpuss) who once climbed up a tree and got too scared to climb back down. (Oh the plaintive mewing...)
Who was sitting in the garden soaking up a bit of sun when a little Robin Redbreast flitted down next to her. "Tweet" said Robin, bobing its head by way of a hello. "MMMIIIIIAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOWWWWWWW" screamed Abigail ad she levitated, turned, and took off in the opposite derection. Not to be seen for the rest of the day.

Molly, now Molly the cat was funny. She never did things that were too cutsie or freeky, she was a normal, well behaved cat. Until she smelled Tiger Balm.
Then I SWEAR you'd think she was on an acid trip! It was probably the single funnyist thing I've ever seen. I had a pulled muscle in my calf and was using tiger balm to warm the area (real Tiger Balm, from Singapore). Molly came into the room and sniffed the air, came over to me and tried to surgically remove my leg! When that failed the least odd thing she did was to lie on her side and spin in circles...


Gods, I LOVE cats!
