Talk about the weird things your dog(s) do:

Emma INSISTS on joining me in the shower. If I don't let her she'll do the pug yowl and yip until I get out. There are no pauses between yowls n yips.
She also stares at me while I'm cleaning my ears and brushing my hair.

That is just a coupla of the MANY weird things she does.

Well Sprocket sets himself up with his butt in the air, front legs on the ground. He just sits there and watches the world go by. Its like a backward sit. LOL

Gunner hits his big head on EVERYTHING and it never bothers him. He will be running through a door, bonk his head on the door/frame and just keep going.

Mikey watches other dogs play and barks at them. If they get too wild, he runs in growling. We call him the "fun police"

This is Sprockets weird backward sit. He is NOT stretching. He stays like this for up to 10 minutes and just watches the world go by.

Milo does this too! It's so cute, I just love it! And could Sprocket possibly be any cuter? Sheesh!

Milo and Penny both love to lick Peyton's ears and eyes until she's practically sopping wet. They take turns. Usually Milo starts it, then Penny takes over when he gets tired. Peyton seems to love it and just closes her eyes in ecstasy and leans into it. Why? No idea!

Also, Peyton will run away when you blow on her face. She just hates it so much! It's great for when she's being extra nosey, I just take a deep breath in like I'm going to blow on her face (like I'm blowing her away), and she will take about five steps back and stay away. If she isn't paying attention, I just blow in her face and she leaves.

This is the only way that Brody will play with a toy:

Ya kinda sick right!?!LOL

Rhett has to be in the bathroom with me when I shower(with his nose pressed against the shower door), but not really weird for me since Beauregard(RIP) was the same way!Lol

The other 3 have their own quirks...as do Rhett and Brody have more...but those are my 2 favorites!!LOL

Oh ya, and my gelding loves licking....hands especially..I don't have to take him a treat at all...just offer him my hand(he loves it when its sweaty, or I've been messing around with the treats/food/minerals!!LOL). That one is kinda weird to!Haha. I have learned who I can, and can't, leave him with to hold him really quick though, as I like it...and some dont!!AHAHAHHA

THIS^^^ is the weirdest thing. He sits there with his eyes half closed like licking her hand is putting him to sleep.

My Buck is just plain weird. Dude is fairly normal but Buck is terrified of my saddle. I have moved it to the back of the couch to desinsitize him to it.

I'm going to bed but I'm sure I can think of some more tomorrow.

Brody's Mom(the full Pug) "gets stuck in a rut" all the time!!!LOL
I know it was brought on by the corn(and chicken, grains, blaa) filled food she use to be fed but now it's more of a habit thing!!LOL
 
#7 ·
I noticed that...try it now!:smile:

Omg Ruby does that too sometimes! Its so gross, the one part of the toy is soaked with her spit. Or if she finds a "weakness" in the toy, she will work on it until she destroys the toy. Breaks my heart. I bought an awesome giant plush chicken that made the funniest sound ever, she loved it so much she broke the squeeker in a couple hours lol.

Hahaha, yes, it is DISGUSTING!!LOL
I've never had a dog who would just DO that...but he does, until, like you said, the toy is soaked thru!Lol

All of our toys are stuffingless(thanks's to Dixi having the NEED to rip and shread, and Brody then the NEED to eat!!HAHA:wacko:) so Brody just does it, and does it, and does it.....at night I'll hear him start and then Dixi will growl at him(they sleep together) and he stops!!lol

Kola sits/ lays on the other dogs every day. Usually it's Braxton because he has total patience for her antics, but she does it to everyone. My others will if they're desperate for a spot, but kola specifically seeks out another dog to lay/sit on. If Braxton is on one cushion of the couch, and the rest is open, and the love seat is open.... She will sit/lay on him.

When we are walking, Mol will suddenly lie down. Flat on her side, it's like I've got a dead dog on the end of my leash. Anywhere, anytime. No rhyme nor reason, in the middle of running, near home, far from home, middle of the zebra crossing, grass, sand, concrete, anywhere. I have to pick her up by her front paw's and we carry on our way. Can do it once a month, or 3 times in one walk.
It's funny for everyone else, but gets old after a while.

Tess does this:

ALL THE TIME. She loves having her head in Bishop's mouth. She will sit there for a long time with a really happy content look on her face while he is chomping on her head. She tries to get Willow to open her mouth but Willow is a crabby old girl who doesn't put up with Tess's antics. Tess is not deterred from trying, though.

Bishop loves to hit dogs in the face with his butt and tail, and hump the laundry basket and fat girl dogs.

Willow makes audible burps. They smell.

Cesar does like a wet tongue so after he gets done getting a drink he HAS to find someone and lick them untill his tongue is dry again if one person shoos him away he will go find someone else if everyone shoos him away he will lick the couch,chair,carpet ect till his tongue is dry then more often then not go back for more water take a few drinks then find someone to dry his tongue off onto.
its wicked annoying!!

Huginn's favorite way to get off the couch is to just flop off it, usually bashing his head into the coffee table. He doesn't seem to feel pain.
If one of my guy friends is sitting too close to me, or not paying enough attention to him, he jumps on their shoulder and licks their ear until they get irritated.
He fills his mouth up with water and just walks around the house letting it drip out.
I live alone, so I generally don't close doors, if I have a guest and they close the bathroom door or I close the bathroom door he will pace and whine and whimper until they come out.

Huginn was watching Game of Thrones with me the other day. He was so into it I rolled him over and his head stayed intent on the TV. When the Dire Wolf pups showed up he ran up and started licking the TV. I had to cover his eyes when they killed one of them lol. When one of the wolves attacked the reanimated guy with Jon Snow Huginn was growling right along with Ghost. It was pretty entertaining.

Also, about CocaMo with the hand licking. . . it made giving him electrolites one summer really easy, because he'll just lick them out of your hand lol.

Lucky dances her front feet back and forth just before she is told she can do something, like being told to come in the house, or if she knows she is about to eat.

Shadow dumps the water bucket out front, and rolls it on its side all over the yard while barking. Its a metal bucket, so it makes lots of clanking sounds he loves. He even likes to put his head inside it and bark, and listen to his voice echo.

When Lola plays with my cat, Mocha, she always chews on his testicles! Before he was neutered he would sometimes spray her when she was back there. That was pretty nasy but did not deter her at all.

Buster likes to crawl down into the top of my shirt and sleep on my chest. He can also climb like a monkey and will scale his crate to get on top and in his bed. I puit it up there when I feed him in the crate and he just climbs up and into it. It is especially amazing because he is a Toy Fox Terrier and just tiny and his crate is really tall in relation to him.

I started thinking about all the weirdness going on at my house and it made me too tired to even think about typing it out. Seriously with 10 dogs.....
I will tell you Angel's strange thing though.
She was an extremely aggressive little dog when she first came to me. So, about 7 yrs ago when I hadn't had her very long she was attacked by a dog.
The dog ran up behind her and literally picked her up by her hindquarters. She ended up with a tiny puncture wound on her outer thigh and one riiiiiight beside her girlie part. Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure it hurt. But she was SO freaked out, that after the initial shock wore off, (thank goodness I cleaned her wounds immediately), no one could get near her without her trying to attack them.
So I just didn't touch her for about 10 days. I just fed her, let her in and out for potty breaks, and made her sleep in another room. After she finally realized she didn't hurt anymore she went back to normal.
BUT, any and every time since then, if you fuss at her or she even THINKS you're fussing at her she stops what she's doing and licks the spot on her inner thigh as if she relates that pain to what's happening. If she's barking at a neighbor and I have to walk out toward her to make her come, she'll start running toward me and she'll take about 5 steps, stop and lick her inner leg, and then come on in. If she hears something and starts to bark in the house and I tell her to stop, she sit down and licks. Can we say, Get Over It Already......:wacko:

Preston chews on my hair. He sleeps in my room, on the bed, and likes to lay right next to me on a pillow and groom my hair. I try to get him to stop. He won't. Sometimes I wake up with knots in my hair. He also does this to my mother. When we are just sitting on the couch, he comes up to the couch, sits next to us, and attempts to chew/groom our hair. If you're laying down, god forbid some hair is exposed - he'll get that as soon as he see's it. If anyone knows a way to stop this...let me know! o_O

Indi likes to stand directly on top of me while I am sitting. She does this for attention. Just gets onto the couch and stands on me like, "perfect spot for a butt scratchin!"

Puck FREAKS out when he has gas. We are talking running around whining and staring at his butt.

I guess I encourage weird behavior or something because it cracks me up most of the time. I just say I'm encouraging "personality"

Ari

He has a self imposed bedtime. Usually around 8:30 when he knows that nothing else interesting is going to happen. He'll go to bed and shortly after that he will RAR for about a minute......he lays on his side, gets crazy eyed, rubs his face with his paws and on the covers.....all the while making noises that sound like a bear.

Sometimes when I come to bed he is fascinated with my ritual. When I put on my blistex, he wants to lick my finger after. Then when I get the ear plugs out, he watches avidly, then wants to sniff them before I put them in

He LOVES his chuck-it ball. He LOVES to squish it.......sometimes he'll forget about fetching for a minute and stick his head in a bush, and just squish the ball.....I guess he needs a private moment with it from time to time :suspicious:

Kai

She will throw her entire weight behind the effort to get her tongue right up inside your sinuses

When I am preparing dinner for the dogs, she will break off running for the couch to pounce on Luc, sigh heavily, look at me over the back of the couch, then maul him with kisses until I call her off :bowl:

Layla

She hasn't really shown any weird behaviors yet, but the way she walks sometimes reminds me of a runway model. Head low, serious expression, long extended gait.

I keep trying to film all of the above, but have yet to be fully successful.

I forgot to add, that, to my dismay, Mollie's 'dead dog' was why we had to chuck in the Agility. She'd just flop over dead in the middle of a run. Nothing would make prise her head off the ground. No treats, nothing, except if I went and hid. I was pi$$ed, as I was sure we were going to be stars! :(
 
#27 ·
I actually wondered that too because early on when Toby had only been with me a few months I'd take him walking and he'd go about 1/2 mile and do the same thing. Plop over and that was it. No more walking. I knew he had a heart murmur but didn't think it was so bad that it affected him that way. I just initially thought he was lazy. When I found out how significant it was I felt bad for thinking he just didn't like to be on a leash or was too lazy to go even a mile. :frown:
 
#28 ·
My heart dog use to do the same thing...he would walk a good distance and then that was it...just plop down all of a sudden. He would have to be carried the rest of the way. When we had his heart checked before his cancer removal surgery...found out he had an enlarged heart. I use to think he was like..."woman, I'm done...carry me home".

Mateo can be hypnotized.

He sits in front of me while I am sitting on the couch, and just stares at me. I know that he's tired, but not ready to give in to the sandman...
When I look at him, he sort of blinks, slowly. I look back at him and blink, slowly. The slower I blink, the slower he blinks... until his eyes are barely open. We continue this slow blinking thing for just a few minutes...then he literally slumps down onto the floor into a deep sleep...

It's kind of cute; he only seems to do this when he needs a little coaxing to fall asleep.

Also, he will roll over on his side when meeting a small dog or puppy on the street, to make himself "smaller' and less intimidating. That's fine and all, but then he'll roll over on his back and stretch out --and just hang out there, in the middle of rush hour, midtown Manhattan, with people rushing by, stepping over him, bicyclists weaving around him... lol.

The nice thing is, almost everybody smiles and thinks it's adorable... :)

I think you should give him something to calm down his nerves! That's hilarious.

Uno can be pretty weird sometimes, he has a major shoe fetish. Basically whenever I get home, he gets excited, grabs a shoe and runs around with it wagging his tail until he calms down. Also when he's happy, he does that toothy grin which scares some people, but thats just his smile.

He loves to climb fallen trees and whenever we hike, he'll scale the tallest boulders which makes me nerveous sometimes, but he's got an awesome balance.
He thinks poop is a delicacy, doesent matter what kind, it just is.

Another annoying one for Cesar he yawns extra loud to protest or get our attention he will yawn over and over again to the point he kind of looses his voice if your not quick enough to put his lead on to go out or at my bf when he wants me to wake up he will sit there and yawn loudly over and over and over again till you do what he wants or he looses his voice.

Sprocket does something similar. He will stare at you and make a tiny growling sound. It progressively gets louder and then he eventually starts barking. Today, in the truck, he sat on the center console and did this. I just told him "I don't speak that language, you are going to have to say it in ENGLISH!"

Tanis has the weirdest method of pooping... He'll find a tree and lift his leg like he's going to pee - but instead he uses the tree to hold his leg up while he poops.

Everything Tiffa does is weird. She's a whole lotta crazy in a teeny wiener-shaped body! As I type this she's got her head stuck in a pillow case and is chewing and barking at Tanis through the pillow case. I love them.
