Strange things your pets do...

AKC says there are many reasons for dogs staring at humans. Maybe they are just lovin on ya. :dog: die: :dog:

Why Does My Dog Stare At Me? Better Understand Dogs' Staring Behavior

My dogs are all kitchen supervisors when I am cooking.

Our shepherd is a kitchen supervisor. But she gets booted from the kitchen if I'm dealing with something boiling on the stove.

I'm super paranoid about tripping and spilling it on her. But then I'm the same way with kids. If I'm cooking, the kids aren't allowed in it.

It stems from an incident when I was a kid. It didn't happen to me, but to another kid a few years younger then me that went to the same school.

The kids mother was making Spaghetti one night and the kid pulled the pot of boiling water off the stove when she turned her back for just a second.

He was in burn masks and wraps for quite a while and is scarred for life. Just something that stuck with me after seeing his injuries.

Our 3 are crazy over lemonade ice blocks. However they only get a small piece each. Unfortunately they come wrapped so they hear me opening them....
Cheerios are another favourite, however I have to cut them up for one dog as he only has 2 teeth. He was a rescue too.
Lately they are demanding jelly or ice cream. Hard when you are trying to keep the weight off them.
My Pug also loves bananas so he gets a small bit or two. The others eat it too but not as excited about banana as he is.

One of my dogs likes sauerkraut.

A wiener dog?

One of the "worst" and strangest things I've had one do (and this one wins the all time record for me-life time dog owner) our small yellow lab one time took a fresh turd out of the toilet bowl like he was bobbing for apples, carried it into the living room, and laid down with it and ate it.

That might be lab thing, unfortunately. Both my previous and current dog will eat it if given a chance... and it's not uncommon to find where somebody has "done their business" in the woods.

One of our Boston Terriers, Presley (yeah, Sharn Jean is an Elvis fan) has a habit of needing to go outside to do her business sometimes at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. I sleep in a recliner in the Living room; so I have to get up and take her out. The other morning, she came up to my chair, and began whining, like she always does...so I got up, retrieved my cane, and when I turned around, she had taken over my chair; was curled up and ready to go to sleep. Some dogs are just too darn smart.

My kid's dog will jump in anybody's seat as soon as they get up. It's not bad if you're going to the kitchen to get a snack or something, but let's say you just get up to reach for the TV remote and BAM! that dog is already in your seat. :laughing:

Our dog (he passed away in April) was crazy for popcorn.

He could hear the popping from 3 floors away and as soon as the popcorn was in the bowl he was there.

He’d sit by you at attention. Not begging, but very clear what was wanted.

He liked to eat corn by corn.

We miss him.

I've always had 2 dogs at a time, but never had them that they commonly used each other as head rests or lay with front paws intertwined. These two seem to be very unusually fond of each other. The black one is 8 years old and the red one is 2.
