Dunno if this is the right spot, but I just noticed my dog rations his cookies(dog biscuts).
He's kennel trained, and when we put him in, inthe morning we'll give him 3 cookies, when I come home for lunch and let him out, he brings one or two out with him.
There have been times when he's in there from 8am til 5pm... SO I guess he's just being a smart cookie and saving his cookies, I just thought it was an interesting wierd considering all the other dogs I know just gobble them up as fast as possible.
Do you have pets with interesting wierd habits? |

My old dog when I a K9 handler used to shit real runny shits 8-10 times a night. Considering EVERY other dog we had would shit twice a day, never on patrol, and they were nice turds that were easy to clean, I'd call it a quirk.
Plus he wouldn't lie down on command if he knew someone was coming. Little bastard liked to bit. So if I told him down, he'd look around first, and if someone was walking towards us, he wouldn't go down. I wanted him to go down so I could stand on his leash 3" from his collar so he was unable to get up to try and bite, and I guess he clued in on that. I'd have to reef him down.
The other thing was he hated things that moved. Even if they were stationary but we were moving, they'd confuse him. Imagine, 12 hours of driving around and a dog that barks at trees, buildings, other cars, people on bikes, whatever. If we're stopped at a light, he's fine, unless someone moved out side. I tried covering his cage so he couldn't see out the window, but then he got carsick. So it was just 12 hours of non-stop barking. |

our dog cant stand native people.
not that we trained him to be that way, but when he was a puppy our grandsons dad would tease the hell out of him all the time (he's a big huge native guy), not being mean to him teasing, just teasing in general..... now whenever any native person walks past the house he goes nuts.
heaven forbid should you be pushing a shopping cart passed our house!
the dog also hates cats, he will run down and eat any cat he catches in the yard, but he will let our house-bound cats snuggle with him and he will even bath our smallest cat.
he uses his front paws to man-handle the cat around for the full bath effect, funny as hell to watch!
very quirky dog: white shepXhuskyXwolf.
and does he ever shed!!! doesnt matter how much you brush him.... |

My friend had a hamster...his name was Norbert. He would dance to Master P music. If you put anything else on, he wouldn't give a shit....but once the No Limit beats came on...wow, he loved it and danced up a storm. His dancing consisted of him standing up against the cage and jumping around.

My dog used to take his bones and dig imaginary holes in the living room. He would drop the bone into the imaginary hole, pretend to cover it up and then pretend he couldn't see it. He would bark and dig in places around it, never finding it until you came over and "dug" it up for him.
The weirdest part though, if you just picked it up and handed it to him, he wouldn't take it. You had to pretend to dig it up while he was watching and then he would take it. |

Did you ever go to a vet to see if your dog was downsyndrome? :lol:

My former roommates had a chocolate lab that loved kids, loved adults, loved seniors... but HATED teenagers. Specifically males aged 13-17.
They had a chainlink fence in the front yard which the dog loved to patrol and whenever teenagers, even the neighbours', went by he'd let 'em have it with a "Hey, I thought I told you to fuck off yesterday!!" kind of bark.
It was quite funny... Always thought he had a good judge of character.

Our current dog is damned wierd. She chases after sun rays on the carpet and deck. You let her out the back door and the sun reflects off of the glass door onto the neck and she goes fucking NUTS, spins in circles and whines and barks and shit.
Same with our cold air return covers. If you run your fingers up and down them she goes absolutely nuts, and will bite your hand if you keep doing it. |

it's a toss up between Vive's and Chrome's dogs...
JeepGirl: I love your dog! He's gorgeous
We have one cat named Dawg, acts like a dog. The other cat is just plain dumb! When Dawg pukes up a hairball (joys of long haired cats) Grayson MUST try to cover it up! (thank gawd for all hardwood & tile) No matter where he does it, Grayson burns (skidding with no traction) to get there and cover it up for him. Kinda sweet and sick all at the same time.
And if you're ever in the bathroom, watch out when you open the door because Grayson just must get in there! He can tell when the toilet will flush and scoots up there to push his way in before you can get out to watch the water swirl (gawd forbid you close the lid on him because he'll just meow until you open it) It's great fun to get the upstairs and downstairs flushed at the same time...he gets confused and can't decide so he'll run back forth to play in both!
He's great entertainment but dumber than a sack of nails...and crosseyed to top it off. |

My roomate in Vancouver had 2 Shiba Inu's. The girl was smart as hell and liked to jump the 6ft fence around the yard; but the boy was dumb as a stick. He would think he is a cat half of the time; sitting on the top of the couch, or try and be a lap dog. We'd spend an hour with a laser pointer and he would chase it all over the house; up the walls, then stop dead when he saw himself in a mirror, before sititng there, staring at the new dog for ages. We had a pool in the backyard as well, and he liked the water, but would bark at the reflections from the sun.
I miss those dogs. |

| I had a mutt named Thunder when I was younger. That dog was stupid as shit but tough as hell. He had a big ass head too. But the main "quirck" the dog had was if he wanted out and you didnt get to the door when you heard him comming he would run full tilt and jump head first into the door like he was trying to jump through it. It was kinda funny at first, then in the summer we would leave the wooden door open and just have the screen/glass door closed. Damn dog would jump THROUGH the screen and glass to get out side, so if we wanted that door open and the dog was inside we had to have someone in the living room and they had to be quick cause if the dog was comming we had to get that door open. We lost a total of 7 doors that summer from not being quick enough. |

you just perfectly described my buddie's dog named... Buddy, even looks identical, but this one's fatter. he can see through their back fence slats and whenever any one of the (10) black neighbors walks by, he FUCKING FREAKS OUT LIKE HE WANTS TO KILL. No idea why that is, he's the biggest suck otherwise, and greets anyone else with a whine, and a grin. all we know is that he was beaten a lot before they got him 6 years ago, came from Manitoba, possibly from a reserve, and curiously, where there's NO black people. They've been in Edmonton for the last 5 years. It took us months to get him to not cower and pee from all men who speak near him. |
