Funny little ways

[LaurenBay]

What funny little ways do your Dogs have?

Ralph (my 5YO Beagle) has a strange habit. When me and my partner go to work, he loves to sleep on the sofa. But only if he has his lead with him. We have twice come back to a trashed house (nothing broken but things EVERYWHERE!) because I had put the lead somewhere he couldn't find. We now make sure the lead is left out where he can find it, never a trashed house since. It's like he ransacks the house looking for it. Without fail he takes his lead to bed every day and will sleep soundly until I get home at lunch time.

Awww that is really cute <3

Lily the Lakeland likes to do some headstands (with associated growling ) on our bed before she settles down to sleep at night....

My first pug had a stuffed knitted sock he liked to take everywhere. Of course the socks were replaced when they went soggy and horrible. It was his `tadpole`. He used to fall asleep with it, kneading it like he was still suckling from his dam. Other pugs haven`t been interested in the `tadpole` fetish.

Fitz (smooth collie) is a little weird-he didn't really know how to play when we got him at 7 months. His favourite game now is to stick his head down behind a couch cushion and stick his bum in the air-while wagging his tail madly. I tell him I'm going to smack his bum, his tail goes wild lol and when I do tap his bum, we get zoomies. Its very funny-every night after dinner.

thats really cute about Ralph! what a lucky dog to have found you.

My papillon loves to steal things, specifically carrots out of shopping bags. She raids the bags looking for carrots, which we usually leave loose for her so she can 'steal' it out! She isn't interested in anything else in the bag, only a carrot. Just giving her the carrot doesn't have the same effect, she likes the thrill of the illicit carrot best!

Yep! When I go out mine gets my trainers and my slippers and puts them on the rug in my living room... he has access to about 15 pairs of shoes and always chooses the same two regardless of where I leave them. He doesn't chew them and once done he then goes and sleeps on the sofa or my bed upstairs!

When he was younger it used to include my pants fished out of the washing basket upstairs - luckily he grew out of that one...

Luna loves to lay on her belly with her head out of the cat flap! We’ve caught her there several times, open the door to see if she wants to go out, and she will wander back in to the living room. Soon as door is closed again, she’s back there.

My staffy gixx, is completely deaf but she likes to be wrapped up fully in a blanket she is wrapped like a sweetie wrapper 😂😂 then when you finally wake her its a nightmare for her to get out shes running in circles wagging her tail like a dafty trying ti get out. She prefers a duvet cover as she can actually get in it 😂 she then procedes to lick you to death as if to clean the outside off you 😂 shes too cute...

My other staffy harry, steals things, he steals food then stashes it for later in his bed 😂😂

In a nod to the last scrap of house rules, the whippet won't get on the sofa/bed unless given permission.
If you're stretched out on the sofa, you have to lift your legs up so he can wriggle under them.
Great for core strength, more like 'give me strength' when he's dithering about climbing up

Better Fitz than your OH, I reckon.

Lovely stories here. When we go up for a shower in the evening they all come up and Brandy, old lab, has to have a paiur of dirty pants and the others a dirty sock each, then they do zoomies around the landing/bedroom doors. If there are only 2 socks available they have to share.

pmsl! OH doesnt stick his head down the back of the couch..

Dogs are such funny little things aren't they. Mine makes me laugh daily.

Mine too I actually dont think i could live without my doggies

We call our middle dog ‘PC Bess’, because if any of the other animals do anything they shouldn’t, or get told off, she’s there in an instant to oversee things.

I had a border/sheltie cross when I was a kid. There was something about the theme tune to Emmerdale Farm: whenever he heard it, he would start howling, not really loudly, almost as if he was singing along.

 

[monte1]

my little working cocker is so funny, he collects and brings you all sorts of shoes, never chews them just has to carry something all the time or makes a little pile of them to sleep with, we also call him the fun police as he likes to tell off my other two dogs if they look like they are having to much fun

We have 'PC Funstop' in Tawny!

The new samsung advert has my dog lunging at the tv 😂😂 no idea why

 

[CorvusCorax]

Both of mine bark in their sleep. It's very cute. I imagine they are chasing baddies in their sleep.

Frank has a daily "wall of death" on the sofa, usually in the morning. He reminds me of that cartoon, Taz the Tasmanian Devil.

He howls on command for my baby (baby has a particular shriek he does, on purpose, it didn't take him long to figure out that Frank would willingly oblige!). Frank also howls along with whistling or singing; he did it once when he was at the pub with me for a friend's birthday - we all sang happy birthday and Frank joined in - then continued with a little howling solo at the end. The whole pub gave him a lovely round of applause when he finished!

If you pick up his collar to go for a walk he HAS to spin before he'll let you put it on. The number of spins is dictated by how excited he is.

 

[Stiff Knees]

Peril sleep wags every night, a lot, sometimes for hours on end. She also does the wall of death each time she goes out, races down the steps at the front of the house, spins twice on the drive then back again up to the front door via a low wall to spin at the front door. She then sits perfectly quietly while we put in her lead and walks beautifully to heal on or off the lead but it is as though she needs to get it out of her system. She also does the "ginger squinty" when she wakes up. This involves screwing up her face so she can barely see and walking ever so slowly up to you trembling with excitement and whining loudly, when we then say "good morning ginger squinty" obvs in a silly voice, she can barely contain her excitement (but everything is in slow motion) apart from her tail which wags ten to the dozen. Jake spends every evening swapping sofas so he's not favouring me or OH and we both get our fair share of quality time with him. If he's poorly he always comes to me. He also carries the tag on his collar in his mouth, which is something that Peril now copies. He has recently gone deaf but we swear he can lip read words like biscuit and pumpkin (a favourite treat). 🐾😍🐾

Hector has snippets of food from the plate, but not much as his pancreas is no good. The rest of. his food is dry and boring, and a specialist pancreas friendly, not exciting type.

We have a shoe rack near the door, OH and I randomly have shoes in the cubby holes. For some reason Hector hides/places dry biscuits inside my shoes. Not OH's, just mine.

Not sure if I should be honoured or not??? There tend to be a LOT of biscuits in my shoes!

Amy lurcher squeaks in the car on the way home from a walk.... she’s done it all her life and I’ve never been able to work out why! When she’s excited about going for a walk she is quiet and wags her tail a lot 😄

Millie lurcher is really just one constant funny little way, I’ve never known a dog like her. You can chat away and have a conversation with her as she loves replying with the usual ‘wooowah woooowah woooowah’ noises 😂

Ace is obsessed about being out in the garden and lies out on the lawn even in the rain, I’m guessing it’s his ‘safe place’ from when he was in racing kennels

Marty grumbles to himself for the first half a mile of every walk about nothing in particular - he doesn’t need a reply, he just grumbles and growls to himself 😂

And George.... well I’m sure PonyParty will agree, you could write a book about him 😂😂😂

 

[The Trooper]

My partner's Frenchie has spent far too long with my Border Collie and is displaying herding behaviours?

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Zak likes to have ALL the toys. He’ll hoard 2 balls if he finds both before Bear does. He is a dragon and lies on toys he doesn’t want Bear to have.

His favourite game is the ‘push’ game. He lies at the top of the stairs and I have to push him away from me as he growls then he flops back into my arms and I push him away again. He’s seriously weird! 😂

 

[SillySausage]

We have 'PC Funstop' in Tawny!

We call the Jack Russell who spoils everything 'the fun sponge'!
