    Are you allowed pets in prison?

    Me.

    My 2, when they bark, bark at me in a 'God-how-did-you-get-to-be-our-owner' kind of way.

    His food.
    He won't eat it out of the bowl. I have to pour it on the ground for him.

    And then if it's in a pile on the floor he'll bark at that too. It needs to be spread out a bit for him.
    He's a simpleton.

    Mine barked in her sleep and woke herself up. Then she figured that she must have been barking at something and went off on a bit of a session. Daft creature.

    The usual answer some people I know have is that they see "spirits" or cancer.

    Damn ghouls and cancer hanging around my bins!

    He loves putting his ball into places he can't get it. Like under the car...in a pile of stones..in the top of the watering can. Then he barks for help. You get the ball, give it to him and he's done it again before you've turned your back.

    one of my dogs is lovely, pretty, happy, loves hugs


    the other however...

    you cuddle, he jumps around to play
    He's handsome but devious
    he eats my make up brushes
    he ate a colander yesterday :O


    When he sleeps, he's hella cute though...

    But he paws my face. and it hurts.

    Any of the larger birds that fly over our garden - pigeons or magpies. She really hates fu*king magpie. Like really really. If there was such as thing as a magpie deathcamp, she'd be the commandant.
    She's cool with the song birds, so fair play to her.
    The door bell after the kids go to bed. Fine in the day, but once the kids go to bed she has a ****fit. I'd suspect its her way of telling whoever it is to shutup, which is great and all except for the obvious.

    Had one that would bark at our ponies for hours - then if the pony would look at her she would leg it back inside and hide

    Used to have a dog that hated Crows,I suspect they probably had a go at him when he was asleep outside.

    It's hilarious when my dog hears another dog barking on the tele and he starts barking and trying to jump out the window thinking it's outside

    I'll remember this thread when some poor sod starts a thread on his neighbours dog barking for no reason and everyone berates the neighbour for not controlling their dog.

    Our dog is outside when we are out, so she has an outside kennel with a bed in it. Recently we thew out her old bed from the kennel because it looked a bit manky, and put a new bed in it. She barked at it and refused to go in the kennel for days. Even staying outside in the rain while we were out for a couple of hours one day, rather than go in the kennel with the new bed. This was about 2 weeks ago and she now seems to have got over whatever her issue was and will go in the kennel again.

    Mine goes mental when someone in a hi-vis jacket walks by because she thinks they're delivering post. She thinks all post is hers and will bark loudly whenever I get to it before her.

    Our dog barks when somebody turns on a table light. Just one bark as if to say "I'm watching you table light. Don't be trying any funny business".

    That's because all postman are axe wielding homicidal maniacs who drop bombs through the letter box.

    My dog is extremely quiet. So much so I that for almost 6 months after we got her we had not heard a peep out if her bar the odd sigh.
    All that changed when i had an empty bottle that I was crushing to put in the bin that happened to hiss a little. Couldn't believe that she had barked so made it hiss again and she lost the plot. Running in circles and barking at the stupid bottle. Gave it to her and she took the cap off and then looked all proud like she had beheaded the monster.

    Also clothes pegs, especially if you show her them opening and closing.

    Normally the game of fetch operates by the human putting the ball somewhere and the dog getting it. It seems your pet has got the upper hand (or paw) on you

    My dog HAM at the hoover when I'm cleaning the house. Same for the jet of water from the hose when I'm cleaning the car. Aim the hose at him however and he absolutely pegs it back inside and barks from the hallway while cowering behind the front door.
