skycat 0 #1 June 8, 2007 So I have a ton for the Belgian Malinois, so post yours: Would you have a sense of humor if your Malinois... Goes over the coffee table instead of around to get to the couch, or over the back of the couch to get to the front Puts holes in your clothes or hands when playing has more energy than you do missed biting your nose by inches (this is called "face clopping); you will develop fast reflexes mistakes your hose for a snake and won't let you fight that shovel, vacuum cleaner, or lawnmower all by yourself gives you a heart attack by leaping 5' off your deck at 4 months of age, or goes over your 6' fence as soon as your back is turned sucks your best sweater into its crate and eats it, and does it to your next best sweater because you forget to create a DMZ (Danger: Malinois Zone) around its crate bites you if you won't give it the ball flat foot jumps on a car, table, or kichen counter eats its water bucket more than once etc... Malinois rules of ownership: The Malinois says: If its in my mouth, its mine. If I'm touching it, its mine. If I can see it, its mine. If I can smell it, its mine. If you hide it on me, I have the right to bite you because its mine. If another dog (non-malinois) has it, I can correct them because they have something that is mine. If its edible, its mine. If its in that big cold box in that room you call a "kitchen" its mine. If its in that pail or bucket in that same room, its mine. If you don't give it to me, that and your hand are mine. If its in my crate, or within reach, its mine. If the human is eating it, its mine. Malinois Property Laws: If I like it, it’s mine. If it’s in my paws, it’s mine. If I can take it from you, it’s mine. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine. If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in anyway. If I’m taking something apart, all the pieces are mine. If it looks just like mine, it’s mine. If I think it’s mine, it’s mine. If it’s yours and I steal it, it’s mine. Malinois Mind Games Two favorite mind games include, “I meant to do that!” and “That is absolutely not my fault!” Both of which consist of the Malinois making appropriate facial expressions to indicate that, no, I did not run into the door by accident, it was a carefully crafted test of geometric principles—and, no, I was not the one who distributed kleenex around your living room—perhaps you’d better question the fish!Fly it like you stole it!

eeneR 3 #3 June 8, 2007 That is all the same traits my Shiba Foster has right now. I have to laugh about the sucking stuff in the crate thing. She did that two nights ago, I still have no idea how she got to this stuff off the shelf, but it was shredded in her crate when I got home from work. That was also after pulling the sheet off the crate and into the crate... Heh, and I was sent a potential adopter app for a family that wants an active dog for there 14yo son She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude the last time I switch my dog's food to one with more protein I swear they could clear the room with one fart. Instead they would sniff each others butts almost like they were saying "my fart was worse than yours....no way mine was"Fly it like you stole it!
