    My little JRT will come up letting you know he wants food now. If you leave it for half an hour or so the little fcuker, when you're pouring the food...cocks his leg an pisses on it out of spite for not feeding him when he wanted it. Deadly dog.

    Sometimes when I'm on the phone my cat will jump up on the windowsill or lean on the door looking to get out, then she'll keep meowing to be let out. She'll keep this up until I get off the phone and as soon as I open the door she acts as if nothing happened.

    Other times she meows at the door/window looking to get out, I get up off the seat and she's gone, go back to my seat...and there she is!

    My dog actually demands to be dressed when its cold. After dressing him up the odd time when I was younger, now he grabs his wooly coat/jumper thingy and headbutts you until you put it on him.

    The parents room door is broken so the catch never closes but once its closed youd need to throw yourself at it to open it, the dog throws his whole body at it about 20 times until it opens, in the middle of the night :/

    His claws on the wooden floor.

    Lies on ANYTHING soft that you put down, he fell asleep on my hat before instead of his blanket... just for the novelty!

    You cant say anything with "sh" in it or else he'll go mad because he gets a denta stick at 8pm every day which the parents call schmackos.

    The dog just stares, she'll stand a few feet away from you and just stare slightly to the left or right of you. If you don't notice her, she'll stare there for ages, I saw her looking at my mother for a solid ten minutes once. And then once you do notice her and say her name, she just goes completely nuts, starts barking and jumping around the place and pawing at you. And then she just leaves. I woke up in the middle of the night once and rolled over and there she was, paws up on the bed, chin resting on the edge, I've no idea how long she was there for. And I said her name and she jumped up on the bed barking, pawed all over me, and left. Just wanted some acknowledgement or something.

    She's an inbred pure-bred, so pretty thick. Also slightly deaf. For giggles, I sometimes whistle, just one continuous note, and she can't figure out where it's coming from. So she just runs around the place, looking up into everyone's face all hopeful. Stupid bitch. But if you keep it up for too long she starts having panic attacks. Hyperventilates, and doesn't yelp so much as scream, stares up at you and then runs to her bed and hides.


    Takes naps in the middle of the main road, was woken up by an angry German man who nearly ran her over last week.

    Has a thing for trying to eat chop bones, but they're too big for her and get stuck, had to take it out with a pair of pliers once and once and as soon as it was out she tried to eat it again.

    She's not trained, like she won't sit, heel, fetch or anything. But because she's so annoying, she does know "F.uck off"

    If you're in a room with my cat and the door's closed, she'll sit there and look longing up at you. If she is still ignored, she will jumped up onto tables and desks and look for valuable things such mobile phones, watches, porcelain figures. She will then proceed to knock them onto the floor until someone opens the door.

    F*ck a-hole. Even if you stare her out of it, she just sits there her paw poised to knock something (usually expensive). Broke my digital camera once because I wouldn't let her out.

    drinks my tea, she sits and waits until I put it down then starts whimpering like she's been in the sahara for a week and is dehydrating, despite the fact she has fresh water.

    My cat Skittles hides on one of the bottom steps of the stairs and when you're coming down them she jumps out ninja style on your leg. I swear she's going to send me flying one day though.

    My lovable mutt of 11 years had to be put down last Friday.

    I guess I can eat my Jaffa Cakes in peace, now :pac:

    Looks the exact same as my mutt, they are the best breed ever :D

    My Jack Russell is the weirdest little thing I've ever come across, he's an odd mix of extremely neurotic and stupidly brave so he has a mixture of annoying habits.

    When we first got him he stole one item from every member of the family and hid it in his new bed.

    He jumps up on couches/chairs and if it's to his liking will drink out of your glass or cup if you're not watching. He is particularly fond of chocolate milk but not a fan of tea or coffee.

    He watches tv and goes mad if any animals come on, we have to grab him or rapidly change the channel before he attacks the set-we think he thinks it's a window.... He also intensely dislikes Noel Edmonds and harbors a strong distrust for Santa Claus-Christmas time is very entertaining.

    We have a 2 foot tall Santa decoration which normally sits on a table. Last year we used to plant it around the house to see the reaction, dog would come running around the corner and stop dead. Never got old!

    It's rare that my dogs annoy me, they are my little family and they make me laugh and smile every day.

    A couple of things that I do remember from when my Irish setter was a puppy was -

    She chewed through the handle on my expensive leather handbag.

    She had a thing for pulling laundry off the line if we went out and left her at home, just out of badness, not boredom as she has plenty of toys. So longer things like sleeves hanging would be chewed and one time she chewed a big hole in an expensive duvet cover.

    We have to eat at the table otherwise we get slobbered on - eg if we eat sitting down on the couch watching tv, she gets up and sits on top of you drooling until you give her a bit of what you're eating. If you try and shrug her off (all 25kg of her) she puts her head on your arm or hand so you cannot move or even eat.

    The dog- Marvin - will bury ANYTHING you give him as a treat, the consequence being that the lawn is covered in holes the little boll*x has dug and is an ankle-killing ordeal when I mow it. He has a thing for the goose and chases her round the garden looking for his h*le on a regular basis, I caught him pinning her to the ground yesterday and I don't know what he has done to the hens but if they get him in a confined space 2 or 3 of them will hop on his back and pick the bejaysus out of him.
    As for the 7 cats:
    One is moonlighting for the dairy farmer up the lane and only comes home 3 time a week for a feed then heads back to the hayshed.

    Another clings onto the duvet for dear life when I try to make the bed, proceeds to sit under the bed until I finish then parks himself back on it - he pi**ed on the summer duvet for spite the other day.

    The youngest one has a penchent for chasing the hens too - he thinks he's the sh*t when he manages to extract a feather.

    I swear if Grange Gorman was still on the go I'd be banging at the door :pac:

    One of my Dogs, " le Ding " likes wearing my clothes! I put shit on the back of my chair, and he works his way into them! Mental!

    There he is.


    And, for the good folks who mistook my earlier, weird, photo of the love of my life for a 'Decapitated Dog' (Post 64) :

    Good god, no! It was just a very innocent photo that turned out freakish due to the angle and her closing her eyes as the shutter closed :D

    Just to reassure everyone that my little sweetheart is alive, well and in one piece, a decade later; Here's a more recent shot:

    My dog Madazza - Leave here out for an hour, she'll still come in and pee on the floor, won't leave you alone ever, you come in the door and she's going mad weather you've been goon2 hours or two minutes. Also chews any lead in sight.

    My puppy Paprika - Knows how to get up the stairs, but not down apparently so I have to carry her down every 10 minutes

    My cat Titch - SUCKLES ME like I'm her mammy cat or something. Sits on my window meowing for me to come get her then runs off when I do. Open a can of tuna and you'll be chased all over the house. Opens all the doors. Has decided to make the guest room her own. She can also make pigeon noises and seems to lure them to her, then takes them back to said guest room.

    Titch's Kittens - Climb up your legs if you're eating and god help ya if you have taco sauce cause they're coming for you, along with mammy.

    My kitten Savage - Rescued this yolk from a car engine, spent hundreds on her shots and medicine for her eyes and all that, fed her, tamed her, took her in and she won't even let me pick her up! Loves my OH though who does nothing for her grr :L

    My Rat Eek - Has a horrid habit of nibbling on toes, never bites, but always goes for toes. Also attacks the cats if they go too near her cadge, loves them if she's out and about but not near her cadge :L

    I have two Jack Russells and they are always plotting.

    I woke one morning when the alarm went off and heard a thump from the spare room. Thought I was imagining things and went back to sleep. The same happened the following morning except this time I stayed awake and heard one of the dogs running down the stairs. Decided to find out what was going on. The next night about half an hour after I went to bed I heard him coming up the stairs and sniffing at my door and then trotting into the other room. Next morning alarm went off and heard the thump and him going down the stairs. So the little bollox decided that sleeping in the sitting room wasn't good enough, he wanted a bed but waited until I was asleep every night and was gone downstairs in the morning before I got up! Have to make sure the door to the spare room is shut at night now.


    Came home from shopping some time last year. Had put food away except for a packet of cream crackers and a box of teacakes. Left both on kitchen table. Went off to work. Came home to find the teacakes box in ribbons on the floor and foil wrappers everywhere, not a teacake in sight, all 24 of them gone. They didn't so much as touch the cream crackers.

    Having said all that, they are savage craic.

    My friends cat used to purposely piss him off everyday, it was hilarious.

    She would barge into his room at 6am every morning meow and walk out again (she learned how to open doors by grabbing the handle)

    While he was on the pc she would barge in, jump on top of the book cabinet and place one paw on top of a stack of books, meow and stare at my friend. His response was usually "DON'T YOU FÚCKING DARE!" while making a move for her. She then would knock all the books off the top and run out of the room.

    I loved that cat
