Paisley, our six-month old Boston Terrier puppy, races into the kitchen whenever we fire up the Vita-mix or ice dispenser in the refrigerator door. She jumps, on all four legs at once, as high as she can to get to the source of the sound, very excited.Quote:

When Chloe was younger, before she had puppies, she would lie on her back with a toy and chew it, at the same time making a sing-song sound.
She also does the "bone dance". When she gets something other than her usual dog cookie, she runs into another room, drops it, then proceeds to dance around it. Wrinkling her nose, bowing down, circling the new treat. Then she wolfs it down...:rolleyes:
But the first thing I think of is our Australian Shepherd mix. He has a very short tail (we think natural bob). So, he can't chase his tail.
But, he has fantastic butt fluff, kind of like a bussle.
He loves to grabs it and chase it. Round and round!
When he walks, he struts, and his butt fluff swings back and forth like a kilt. I think he may be a Scottish Shepherd!
Butt fluff! That reminds me, Chloe has no tail - she also has the silliest looking hackles. When she gets riled up and raises her hackles, all that stands up is a puffy section on her butt. We call it the Powder Puff of Death.
BEWARE THE POWDERPUFF OF DEATH!!!!:eek::eek::eek:
My dogs are completely normal.
Really.

OMG, that second shot! Too funny!
Oh, I'm laughing so hard at those pictures!!
All the bread/buns/rolls in the bread basket were stolen from the countertop two days ago, and they had a great time playing tug o war with the wrappers and eating it all up. Then they got the bag of potatoes down, and we could only find one in the yard. Guess they ate the rest.
This morning I was gone for five minutes before dh came down for work, and they had gotten in the trash and strewn it from the kitchen to the front door.
This evening when I came in--gone for 2 hours--the dry oatmeal bag I mixed up for my tour was lying in the dining room by the front door--thankfully not opened, yet.
The culprit in all these antics has to be the largest dog in the house, Charlie, the standard poodle/golden mix, who is the only one who can reach the bread basket. He's not even mine!

Save us from the evil toilet paper!
hahahahaaaa
Bruiser, my 11 month old cattle dog, runs to his bed in the bedroom as soon as we turn the tv off at night, waits for me to get out of the shower to lick my legs "clean," steals avocado skins out of the trash (boy does he love avocado), trims patches of tall grass on walks by eating it, and his favorite sleeping position is on his back with all four feet in the air. Oh, and using a spray bottle as a punishment-by-distracting-him-out-of-a-behavior method has failed catastrophically since he loves drinking the water out of the bottle. Now it is just a game.
We have two showers in our house & one's rarely used..Anywho, we left a bar of soap there for quite a while then one day we noticed half the soap gone & some rather large teeth marks..
Yukon will eat pretty much anything :rolleyes:
Also, I swear she's a kangaroo the way she jumps around..
My Shepherd chases his tail until he catches it.
Then he pulls it hard - and falls on his butt.
He never makes the connection.
And...this is my competitive obedience dog...?:confused:
Cody, our Chocolate Lab-looking shelter mutt will sell his soul for a carrot, sleeps flat on his back, and will periodically sprint laps around the backyard for no apparent reason. He's also one of the most vocal dogs I've owned- barks, yowls, grumbles, and growls. The grumbling is probably the funniest- he does it when he wants something, and DH and I will tear up from trying desperately not to laugh or give into him.
When we still had our pups, the older Border Collie would do a "poopie dance" whenever she pooped. She'd find a spot she liked, assume the poopie position...then spin in circles while tapping her back right foot. It was hysterical! :D
I'm trying to picture that :confused: sounds confusing.
KatiePickle, will your dog drink from sports water bottles? Anyone else? During a heat wave Mae's dog walker wondered aloud about carrying water on walks. I showed her how to offer a drink from a water bottle. Mae's got her own not that it matters because her doggie lips don't touch the bottle. Say "let's hydrate" or "let's drink" and she sits and waits for a drink.
My Pyranees, Nanook, used to stamp his front paws and toss his head towards the door when he wanted out. (I guess he thought he was a horse. He was almost big enough to be one!).
My yellow Lab will drink from a water bottle or a camelback. All I have to do is ask her if she wants water and she sits and waits for me to open the bottle or squeeze the mouthpiece. She also knows how to turn on the drinking fountain at the park. Jobob saw her do this a couple of years ago.Quote:

We have two dogs. Maggie (the super mutt) is a banana freak. No joke..she'll be outside playing and know when we go to peel a banana and comes tearing inside to drool profusely. I swear that if we didn't give her a piece, she'd be dangerously dehydrated in a matter of minutes! I don't know if she smells them, or sees us...or just has some weird six sense for bananas!
Charlie (the golden/basset mix) likes to throw his body on the ground against things (like the couch or the wall) and growl. We have no idea why. It appears that he's trying to get someone to play with him, but he'll do it even when no one is around!
Maggie has a lot of extra skin/fur. When the dogs are playing, Charlie often takes a big old mouthful of Maggie's fur from the back of her neck and just shakes his head back and forth like they do with a toy. It's so funny to watch because Maggie can basically just stand there and take it because there is so much skin and here Charlie is working away at it like she's some small animal in need of shaking!
Charlie also frequently contorts his body when sleeping:

These stories and pics are great.
OK, this is tasteless and embarrassing, but here you go... Sometimes when Hudson gets really REALLY excited... (like he's been alone sleeping, and suddenly a favorite person comes over, or we go for a walk and run into one of his favorite doggie girlfriends) he will go into an absolute FIT of humping.
Now, mind you, he does not mount the other dog or latch onto anyone's leg. He just arches his back and starts humping the thin air. He does this in a very fast and violent fashion and sort of spins around in circles simultaneously. He does this until I calm him down by holding his face firmly between my hands, look into his eyes, and say CALM DOWN in no uncertain terms.
The first time this happened, I had no idea what was going on. I thought he was having convulsions and was ready to run to the vet! :o I wish I could catch it on video. It's really and truly hilarious to see. Poor baby just can't control himself.
LOL! These are great stories! :D :D
I have a dog that can open a locked door.
She has answered the door for my neighbor, the mailman, the UPS driver, the FedEx driver, and the Jehovah's Witnesses. Oh yeah, and the trash man - our can was in a space he was having trouble with and he wanted to let us know.
It's not uncommon for me to get a text message from my neighbor that reads something like this:
I got home and ur front door was open and the girls in the yard. I out them back in.
Or yesterday:
I had to kiss Stuie... I got locked out of the house but she let me in here before I died from the heat...
Cat outside? It becomes a race between us and her getting to the door so she can let herself out to chase it.
We usually have her contained but sometimes we forget to make sure she's locked in the bedroom before we go (locked in this case means, the door is closed AND there is a baby gate keeping her in there for when she opens the door.)
The other dog has a love for bread. I had just baked banana bread, sliced some up for my husband and I to eat on our way somewhere. He was sitting on the couch, I set the slices on the coffeetable in front of him, walked into the bedroom for a minute or two. When I came back out, there was only one slice left (and no dog in sight). At first I was mad at him - I had cut him three slices and myself two, and here he had pigged and eaten four! I started to tell him that and he says "I didn't touch the bread." So we look at Cookie, who is hiding behind the couch wagging her tail nervously. Not the first time, nor the last, that bread has disappeared.
Bruiser will drink from sport-top bottles too. He will drink from pretty much anything, actually. He loves licking water off of different surfaces. I think the best time was when he hopped into the shower with me to get at the water on the inside of the tub. I think he also aspires to be a landscaper. There used to be a bush where he is standing. One day I came home from work and there was no bush but a very big mess. We rent, so the plants are now off limits, thus the plastic fencing.

Barnabas, my Maltese mix watches TV. He will watch anything with animals, even animated animals. He will run in from the other room when he hears a commercial he recognizes and "likes" or if I say "watch tv" he will run and put his paws up on the entertainment center to watch. Of course his favorite show right now is "The Greatest American Dog"
Yes, mine is completely normal too, yeah, right...Quote:

Doggie and kittens, this is my contractors kitten batting at her dog. This kitten and my mutt also got along.
Finn my Shiba Inu -Beagle cross is a screamer. She screams if you scare her, she screams if she thinks you are going to hurt her, she screams like she's dieing if you try and brush her, I've never heard anything like it – it's scary and sad. Last weekend she was constipated. I take my dogs to the park to walk them, and in front of about 20 people, she jumps out of the car, squats and screams and screams... Everyone watching my dog poop and scream.
I tried my best to look like I wasn't with her, but I don't think anyone believed I just happened to be holding he leash. Picking up that poop was one of the most embarrassing things I've ever had to do in my life.
I don't get why Yukon loves the doggie beach but won't jump into a kiddie pool we have for hot summer days :confused:
Does anyone's dog move into the drivers seat when you go out of the car for a minute? How about licking the floor?
She's one crazy dog!
One of my Border Collies used to lick windows, in the car, by the back door, near the window seat... She'd just sit there looking like she was day dreaming and slowly lick, if you asked her what she was doing she'd stop with her tongue in mid-lick and focus looking like "what? I'm not doing anything".Quote:

He had weak hips from the day he found me, so he never jumped up to be next to me.
Cammie, our current family dog, has adopted my 2 year old. Whenever DS lays down, the dog is right next to him, head pressed against his.
That is EXACTLY what Hudson does. Cracks me up every time how he sits there with his tongue sticking out touching something and his eyes firmly staring at me. It's hilarious!Quote:

Percy, in the months before she died, constantly licked the carpet in the living room. It was weird.
I just spent about an hour watering plants outside while my ward, Charlie the goofball, took bites from the stream of water out of the hose. I could have watered a lot faster if he had not been interrupting the flow so often.

That's great! When I catch mine doing something she's not supposed to, she makes a beeline for my 2yo DS, and hides behind him:DQuote:
