Dogs do funny things

    When I take him for a walk, he likes to leave his eggs on a stone, or something off the ground. One time stuck on the side of a small wall.

    My sisters dog sometimes lift the two back legs when he urineates.

    What fun behaviours are there in your dogs?

    If your dog lays eggs then that is a funny thing to do.

    Are you sure it's not a duck? Or a chicken maybe?

    A dog keeping the time on the bodhran. :D

    Not ten minutes ago my dog asked could she have a bit of broccoli that fell on the floor. So I of course gave it to her.

    The little bitch took it over to my new rug and rolled around in it.

    Brocolli errywhere except in her belly.

    She looked at me like "well I hardly wanted it to eat".

    :rolleyes:

    My mother's dog barks when my dad falls asleep watching telly.He snores so it's either the snoring or that his eyes are closed.

    Doesn't bother her when he's in bed only in front of the telly.

    It's gas , around 3 or 4 in the afternoon this happens and she will come in the door and check if he's asleep or not.

    When he wakes she legs it.

    Our last fella used to do the pee with the two back legs off the floor too, except he'd walk off like that for a few feet. Basically a walking paw stand.

    Our dog now, same type (westie) follows me to the bathroom when I pee, sits behind and keeps a look out. I'm sure she thinks she's minding me. She also communicates through breathing and occassional sneezes when she's fully excited.

    Mine does that too :D

    (Westie JRT x).

    She also sings to the ITV news music which is very very odd because she doesn't howl at anything else.

    Weste - JRT X? That's a handful!

    Mine can work door handles

    Put her in the back garden, jumps up and combination of paw and jaw, opens the handle and walks back in, tail wagging, very happy with herself

    My dog eats broccoli, and gherkin, and anything else that falls on the floor when I'm cooking.

    He sometimes wakes himself up with his own farts, that's probably down to the broccoli. 😷

    I've 2 Samoyed huskies. They enjoying pissing on each other, right before you pet them. The male one likes to go for a **** on the only walkway in the garden.

    Also, the female enjoys the occasional opening of the back door but not telling anybody, until youre cold and wondering where it came from

    One of my westies is sadly blind now at the ripe age of 14 but used to take great offense to black people. Walking past other people - no problem, all tail wags and ears down. But when she met a black person (or even saw a black person passing by the window) the ears went up, the tail rigid, and she'd bark very aggressively and glare accusingly until they were well out of sight. It was a bit mortifying once we realised the pattern that was emerging, but obviously the people in question just thought she was an aggressive dog, and not an outrageous racist.

    Then when she got into her pensioner years, she just started barking at everyone and everything...especially kids.

    I have two.

    Big dog and puppy.

    The puppy is clingy and needy. He comes to the toilet. He sits on my foot. He knows that when I reach for the loo roll that it's time to get up and trot off.

    He gets worried when I'm in the shower. He hates the shower, so he tries rescue me. He'll whine, put his front paws on the glass door and try open the door.

    He's not allowed into bed. He knows that's the rules. Sometimes he'll sneak into my room and sometimes I'll pretend to sleep. I'll hear him sneaking over, put his paws up to check is he in trouble, then he'll climb into bed very gently. I'll feel him laying down next to me, but he'll inch himself closer and closer towards my head. Then he'll be completely overcome by excitement and he can't play it cool anymore. He'll leap on top of me, and he'll frantically lick me until I have to roll out on the floor to get away from him.

    Big dog is so kind and soft and gentle. He doesn't like my face covered, scarves/clothes/hands he'll root with his nose til it's free of whatever's covering it.
    He's very gentle with kisses. If I give him a kiss on his nose he licks the kiss off his nose.
    When I ask him to show me his mean face he strips all his teeth and doggie smiles.
    When he won't eat his breakfast if you clap and cheer then he will.
    He can talk too. "Say hello" is a bark. Big woof is a string of loud barks. Little woof is almost like a yap. I love you is grunting and sometimes a little woof.

    They're beyond the most important to me. I love them very much.

    We left our dog outside and it start raining so he dug a hole and curled up in it to shield himself from the wind

    Every time I take my dog out and he does a dump he smells it. Weird or what


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Temptamperu


    I love my doggo... he doesn't do anything special unless shíting in the hall is a trick.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 694 ✭✭✭Broken Hearted Road


    I have one dog and I love her so much. She does loads that makes me laugh.

    She likes to harass fields of cows.

    She likes to bully a slice of ham out of me regularly, although ham is now banned. Thankfully other tasty food that also lives in the fridge is also called ham like chicken, fish and eggs. She would bully me by taking something I own and refusing to give it back until I gave her something tasty. Pretty sure I trained her this way by accident. She probably had my shoe or something at one stage when I getting ready to leave some where and I would bribe her to drop it by standing at the fridge and saying ham. Of course saying ham wasn't good enough for her. Only when I had a piece of ham in my hand and waving it in front of her face would she drop my shoe.

    Obsessive licking - every night before bedtime - lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick - from her. All over - my face, neck, arms. She's banned from my bed but I have a bed time routine now for the OAP. I take her to bed and lie down for her a while. I sometimes tell her a story of the three little pigs and it drives her nuts. She sometimes stands over me licking. 15 minutes the other of licks.

    My dog has to have his lead in his mouth when we're walking.

    He is a strong independent doggy who don't need no owner*

    *not really. He's fierce clingy and needy but likes to appear hard to the neighbours staffy

    My dog probably wouldnt move an inch if a thief was in the house, but you open one cheese packet......

    Why do dogs like cheese? Is it for salt?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard

    I've no idea, I just know it's like mission impossible to get to the fridge, remove cheese, open cheese and consume cheese, without the charge of tiny feet and a curious head to your location.

    My dog has been dead a few years now but he was a Jack Russell and Pom cross, a right nightmare.
    During summer he slept outside and one morning I went out to see how he was, normally once the door handle even clicks he is there waiting to come see me and get inside for a cuddle.
    That morning he was missing, where the hell was he?
    I heard whimpering, worried I looked around and low and behold, the twat was at my eye level - up a tree :rolleyes:
    It was bent at a slight angle so I can see how he got up (well just about) but he was stuck and crying for me to help so I lifted him down and got many licks.
    I wonder why he did not bark as I would have went to check ASAP but sure I got to him in the end and I think thats the last time he tried chasing a cat up a tree.

    my dog is gas

    i got to the chipper once a week. she gets a sausage aswell. half on the day half the day after.

    i will sit on the couch watching tellly. you wont see her until i put down the plate. she hears the sound of it hitting the table.
    she then runs in and looks up as much to say my turn, my turn , my turn
    if i dont move she starts shuffling towards me and tiling her head. then start hitting my leg with her paw.
    as soon as i move she is gone like a rocket and sits looking up at the worktop where the sausage is.
