What odd/cute behavior does your pet engage in?

Recommended Posts

Our six pounds pekingese is about four months old. Sometimes she even has more energy than our one year old (as of last week) great dane. Often, when the little one wants to play and the big one is lounging, she will lunge at the great dane's head.

Unfortunately, more often than I' dlike this leads the pekingese to hump the great dane's head at warp speed until she is stopped. Pictures and possibly video to follow. (disturbing) news at 11:00

Pekingese = Mae Lin (phon = May Lynn)
Great Dane = Bella Nocce

The cats are pretty standard issue devil spawn that you can't help but enjoy worshipping and loving every now and then.

Duke, a shelty/who-knows mixed breed, loved the snow. If I walked him after a snow, he looked for footprints and stopped to stuff his entire face down into the print, just his ears protruding like a pair of fuzzy periscopes. Then he threw his head back and grinned at all the flying snow clods.B|

I loved that dog.:)

I'm a networking geek.

I have a boston terrier named Packet.

I've taught him to ping: he'll run to the person named, then run back to me.

If you're a networking geek, it's freaking hilarious. Everyone else just stares at me. ;)

I just hope you never get packet flooded.

When I was a kid, I had a friend who had a dog.

One day, we were tossing a Frisbee back and forth, and the Frisbee landed in some branches about 10 ft high.

So, my friend told his dog, "Go get the Frisbee!" and the dog ran around trying to jump up to the Frisbee...and getting pretty close. He was missing it by maybe a foot or so.

Anyway, anytime thereafter we could tell him to "Get the Frisbee!" and he would jump frantically at the same tree branch even though the Frisbee was no longer there.

lets see... what does Karma do...

Its rather humorous when she farts (at least until I smell it...) often she'll be just sitting there looking at me... then she lets one fly... and will look back at her butt with an expression like "Did I poot? :S"

:D:D

Karma also buries "Bones" in the house especially when other dogs are around... its actually kind of annoying because often she'll put them in places she can't reach and then she tries to get someone to help her by barking at it... B|:D

btw: I like the new smiley... ;)

My cat's oddities:

sometimes at night, my cat would tweak out and launch itself from the nightstand, jumping over the head of our bed land on the floor on the other side, run around to the night stand and repeat about three or four times. Me and my GF would look up at this as the cat passes over our heads. Kind of like counting sheep.

sometimes when my cat looks up at me, her head starts to twitch and wobble on it's long axis as if it was having a fit.

Niles loves snow too...he's a mdi-sized cockerpoo (white, he looks like a little lamb) who DIVES into 3 ft snowdrifts. I think its hilarious because the snow buries him then he'll run throught it.

He doesn't like anyone who is 'chemically altered' so its really interesting to walk him and watch him 'blow' someone's high by going ballistic on them. He can sense it about a block away and he'll WAIT! He once ripped the shirt right off a guy who was smoking a joint in the park.

If I've been drinking he'll wait until morning, then stand next to me on his hind legs and give me a full bodyslam to the chest to wake me up.

And I always giggle. Maybe I'm odd too :D~~April

As a computer programmer, that's hilarous. Do you command "Ping John!"

Wonder what your dog would do when you ask him... "ping www.google.com" or "ping www.microsoft.com" ;)

Let's see, Sherpa tends to have the most odd behaviors mostly because he is high drive and slightly insane. (I think both of those are the breed standard for Belgians)

1) When we go to the lake he has to wear a life vest because he won't stop swimming, if he sees a buoy in the middle of the lake he will swim out to it and try to bring it back, when he can't move it he will give you this really hurt look and swim back to shore then start barking trying to get you to come out and help him.

2) If you are drinking red wine and let him have a sniff his tail will go between his legs and he will act like you just beat the crap out of him. Beer or white wine he will just try to drink.

3) The dog gate to him is just an in house agility course that his humans put up to keep him from being bored it's not like the humans don't want him in the basement. :S
Fly it like you stole it!

ROFL!!!

That reminds me...I have a friend who asks interesting questions. One day, she asked me (kinda rhtetorically), "Why do dogs roll around in smelly stuff?" after her dog rolled around on top of a dead fish.

So, I thought about it overnight, and I had an answer for her the next day.

First, consider human beings. We are very visually oriented, because a disproportionate number of our neurons are connected to our eyes. So, when we go on vacation, and we see interesting things, we take photographs, and show them to our friends afterwards.

Next, consider a dog. A dog's brain is mostly connected to his nose, so his world is composed of scents. So...when a dog finds an interesting scent, he can't really carry the object home because he doesn't have opposable thumbs. So, he does the next best thing...he ROLLS AROUND on it so he can carry the new cool scent home to his friends in his fur.

This also explains why dogs hate baths...it's because they've patiently collected a collage of cool neat scents in their fur, and you're destroying their artwork!!!

my cat will put objects in the water dish. sometimes toys, sometimes other things. A rubber band, a pull-up cord, a piece of string or used tape, whatever.

This morning I threw one of his little mouse-shaped cat toys across the living room floor. He chased it down, picked it up & trotted over to the water dish to drop it in.:S

Well, my cat, brought me a frog this morning around 5:00 a.m. and wanted me to get up and play with it and her. This is the second time in about a week she has done this.

I do catch the frog and release it. She doesn't kill them.

That is HILARIOUS!

Sabre (my kitty) does the same thing! He has a favorite rope. It's actually a new rope now since the dog found his old one and chewed it up, but shhhhhh, don't tell Sabre. And don't laugh too hard that I went to five, yes five, stores trying to find the exact same kind of rope Sabre had before.:S:D

He always puts it in his water dish. I read that animals sometimes put their favorite things in a "safe place" that never moves, is always there. It sucks though, b/c the rope sucks up all the water and then drenches the entire rug around the water bowl and I have to put the rug in in the dryer--never on laundry day, mind you.

I seriously LOVE my animals. They can do no wrong.

People, on the other hand.....>:(;):P

I had a friend with a very smart cat. The cat would:

o Climb up on the railing and push the doorbell button when he wanted to come inside
o Look both ways before crossing the street



Zoe' is super-smart. She knocks on the door when she wants to come in/go out.

She knows how to open doors (It drives me nuts sometimes.:D)

And she, too, looks both ways before crossing the street.

Both our kitties get to go outside a couple hours/day.

But, only Zoe' leaves our property (and always comes back w/in the hour).

Sabre never does and I like it that way. He's my baby.

Zoe' is clawless, though >:(>:(>:( (she was before we got her. I would never do that, even though my kitties are mostly indoor) yet manages to capture anything and everything from outside. Luckily she never kills it and we take whatever it is from her when she brings it home, pet her and say thank you and good kitty, then secretely relocate it to a safe place.:D

The things I do.....:S:P

I'm glad to hear you say that. Only a complete lame-o has their cat de-clawed.
