Strange things your pets do...

[Fuddy1952]

Another funny pet story I thought of.
I grew up in the country but near a main highway. Across the road down a long driveway lived a family who had three daughters and one son. Their property boarded an 18 hole golf course. Their house was always getting hit with stray golf balls.
One day one of the girls bought a de-scented
skunk naming it "Stinky".
One day they're having dinner when they hear a man hollering for help.
Looking outside there was a golfer on top of their picnic table frantically swinging a golf club. Stinky was down below under the table.

My Kali has gotten this habit of loudly licking her front paws. It has been checked by her vet and is not a problem, just a habit. Never the less, I told her to stop and she did. I look over a couple of minutes later and she is licking them again but almost silently. Smart dog!

I had a labrador retreiver several years ago that liked to get the newspaper out of the paper box. We initially didn't know what was happening to our newspapers and thought they weren't being delivered. Our house is 500 ft. from the road and our dog usually stayed on the front porch. I found some ripped up papers under our pine trees near the road and caught him one morning taking the paper out of the box right after it was delivered and taking it under the pine trees. He then proceeded to rip it it to pieces. I guess we just need to train him to bring them to the house without destroying them.

Mine is the same way when retrieving birds... he's pretty good at finding them, but if I don't get there he will make them disappear.

If you have owned dogs i bet you can relate.

Ozzie came to visit yesterday and immediately found what i guess is a pile of deer scat. Not sure, don't matter. His mom scolded him so he promptly went and found some more to adorn the other side.

Old friend was a dog trainer, said they do that to cover their scent, it works!



That's my dog rufus on his back, quite a scene.

Just saw on tv, 2 gals selling beagle scented candles.........hmmmmmmm

I have always believed that yet this is the first time I saw it confirmed. My last dog took it one step further, she preferred to pee in running water. It was rather handy when we were halfway from here to there and I wanted to make a quick stop for her to relieve herself... just find a stream crossing the road.

I have another theory though... they just roll in it to make you say "EWWH!"

I've told this B4 but----
Our Chesapeake would swipe everything off of the coffee table with her tail.
SO, to train her I walked her around (both Ways) while manually controlling her tail.
She never again swept the table clean!

Another dog.
Would steady our toddler by allowing him to hang onto his ears.
Toddler would teeter back and dog would yank him upright. Now that must have been painful!
Same dog wanted out, I said NO.
Dog grabbed the door knob, twisted it and ran out with a loud bark!

My daughter thought it would be cute to teach her German shepherd pup how to open doors.

The door knob on their back door is mangled and dented now and they have to make sure that back and front doors are dead bolted at all times so he doesn't go on walk about

I had to wire the gates shut on our fence when we dog sat for them. He figured out how to work those latches as well.

Our Golden gets more exercise in his sleep... sleep running, than I get all day at work.

A couple times he must have been dreaming of a "lady friend", his tail was pounding the floor so hard... :dance1:

That looks the pre wash cycle on our dishwasher!

My young Cocker Spaniel just loves to eat/lick fresh snow. I can easily follow his adventures around the yard - check for tongue drag marks. Somehow or other he has got the "word" on the coyotes that patrol out beyond the mowed lawns. He sees, suspects one or hears one howl at night - right back, up on the porch.
