Odd doggies

[KatiePickle]

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

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...?

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!

I'm trying to picture that 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.

My miniature schnauzer Heidi is a total nut. She does one thing we call "psycho dog", she will just for no reason jumping up and tear through the house at break neck speeds. If she runs into you she will bark then change course and run. She really seems to enjoy our house and my parents because they make a loop.

She barks at kids, she is totally annoyed by the small ones. She really flips out if they are on bikes. At my parents house she sits on the back of the couch which looks at the street and totally goes insane. Luckily for us the dining room is in the front at my house and living room is in the back, she never notices the kids.

When she eats she grabs food and brings it to where we are. And she runs when doing this, she must burn off half the food just carrying it to be eaten.

She scratches her water bowl if empty, but scratches the back door if the food bowl is empty.

She crawls under the covers to sleep. When she used to sleep in the bed she would crawl between my legs, no concern if I was comfortable.

Her grossest weird thing is she tries to lick up your nose. Sometimes she has caught me off guard and succeeded, it feels as disgusting as it sounds.

My other dog Maggie only does a few weird things: she throws all the food out of the bowl to eat and she arches up like the yoga position cobra and rubs her tummy on the carpet. It looks so weird. She also will sleep sitting up, she looks like Eeyore when she does it.

My rat terrier runs the loop de loop in the house break speed like yours ama aggie. I don't know how she can do it without crashing into many close quarters that she runs likety split through.

She has the strange habit of only eating when we are home and the door to her room is open. I think she must be a very social dog.

Yesterday she looked like she had been riding bike. My husband left a bike in her room and she came out with black chain tattoo on her white fur. She was rubbing her back on the carpet vigorously trying to rub it off.

Paisley has just started doing that too at 6 mos. old. Cracks me up! Our wood floors are so scratched up, but it's worth it. She loves it!
