Wierd Pet Habits

My sister and her fiancee have a Rhodesian Ridgeback who's like a hundred pounds. He has this hysterical habit of walking between people's legs. Apparently it's a thing with Ridgebacks but it doesn't quite work when you're not tall enough. There's been a few times that he's caught me unawares and I've inadvertantly rode him across the room. Sweetest dog, though.

If I sing "Going Up the Country" by Canned Heat in a falsetto voice, our male Bullmastiff, Max, will come running from where ever he is in the house and will bonk his face right into mine. Nothing quite like having a head the size of a basketball headed right for your face!

Odd but pretty dang funny if you ask me!

The Jesus Cat has lots of weird habits:

• In the category of singing--he sings "Gloom, Despair, and Agony" with me. (The song from "Hee Haw" with the moan at the end of every line.)
• He likes to lie down flat, head on the floor, next to his food bowl, reach in with one paw, and flip his food out one piece at a time.
• He has a shoe/foot fetish.
• Very strange drinking water habits. Prefers toilets, puddles, watering cans, and sometimes the bathtub.

There are more, but I need breakfast.

I would tell about Lil Seaside's neutered Schnauzer and what he does to a stuffed lion every night (And I mean every night), but the bounds of common decency prevent me from being graphic about a s_x act between a dog and an inanimate object.

It gets embarassing to our infrequent (and never to return) guests!

LOL AIT...I had a mixed breed that did that. Talk about freaking out guests on a regular basis. But it got to be funny after some of hubby's friends learned to hold their knees together .....hehehehe grown men standing around like little girls that have to pee.!
My dog has a habit of lunging after flies. He hates flies. Not good when you have a 100+lb dog jumping up after them in the house. And he wont stop until he catches it. We have been for 30 minutes or more while he tries to catch one.

Used to have a horse that LOVED to drink water out of a garden hose. You had to hold it straight up so it made like a bubble fountain. That damn horse would stand there and drink as long as you would hold the hose up. I think she could hold 500 gallons!!!

I think that if a Mastiff came and head butted me ....I would shut up.

here it's (dog) G-A-S!!!:sick:

THIS is one of the funniest threads EVAH! Everyone's posts are a gas!

My shy, very dressy female Tuxedo cat ADORES a rousing bout of hide-n-pounce.

With great forethought & intention she'll scurry behind the curtains, which is my cue to cast out the chinese yo-yo so she can leap out for the capture & then she immediately runs back and hides behind the curtains. When I say "ya wannit?" She'll reply with the affirmative "yeow" ... which is the directive that she's ready & in position for me to cast the yo-yo again.

She doesn't give a dead lizard for typical mindless p***y games... it MUST have that premeditated hide-n-seek, ask-and-reply element to be worthy of her consideration!

Tuxedo cats are amazing...some of the smartest, most interesting animals around as far as I'm concerned...

Gertie blows my mind...she's so "scientific" about everything. She has an identifiable vocabulary, can count, & understands fluent human (& she likes a few French phrases thrown in for fun). If I don't specifically tell her my EXACT travel plans, and count out the days I'll be away, she'll get sick while I'm gone. I discovered this once when I was late returning by 1 day...the cat sitter told me she was fine until that LAST day when I didn't return when expected (WHAT??? Your fingers are broken & You couldn't CALL???). When she's precisely informed, she's perfectly fine... if not, she makes me "pay".

My male orange tabby is SO sweet, lovable & affectionate... but (ssshhhh) a huge coward & not the brightest bulb on the porch. Gertie thinks he's a moron and wacks him up side the head every single morning whether he needs it not. I have to specifically TELL her to TELL him what my plans are (he does NOT speak fluent human) otherwise she'll just let him suffer in cluelessness!

Oh my daddys cat was a tuxedo cat too. She loved to play fetch with him.

This sounds like the Jesus Cat and the Supermodel. I once asked my dad if he thought the Supermodel was suffering for his stupidity. My dad looked over at the sleeping beast and said, "It doesn't look to me like he's suffering for anything."

The Jesus Cat would probably sell me down the river if I started speaking French to him. He has become (in my brother's words) "curmudgeonly" in his old age.

The first time I ever went to Tallahassee to visit AIT, she was living with her sister and they had this dog. I hadn't been there five minutes when Brody tried to walk through my legs. I didn't know at the time that the protocol in this situation was to scratch his back end as he walked through, so he kept doing it until I got the hint.

He really is the coolest dog ever, though.

It was the same deal with the one I had. We always said she wanted her "BUTT RUB" wave:Byron)

Seriously, I keep forgetting to warn people about that. I <3 that dog like I can't explain. He's 100 lbs but my 60 lbs black lab/Rhodesian mix OWNS him!!!!! They are so cute. When we were at my sister's house for Christmas, they slept next to the couch I was on and I would look down and they would literally be intertwined. They're secret lovers but when everyone's awake, McKenzie (the lab mix) acts like Brody's not even worth her time!

I love those dogs!!!!!!

If this gives you any hint as to how big Brody is, this is a pic of him literally sitting on the couch next to my sister. All four paws are on the ground. And yes, he generally does look that pathetic.

Our Max lives for the butt scratch and does the exact same thing. If you push him through, he'll come back around for another approach...

A friend of mine has a dachshund (sp?) that has to have HER way with her Pumba stuffed animal every now and again.

I totally get the explaining your travel plans to the cat, we have to do the same thing. It's almost like when your 16 and came home too late. At the same time I felt like I was reading the statement for my commital.

Awww....That's a BIG puppy! :roll:

I don't think it's a puppy when you can saddle and ride it. :funn:

Yep ..but she would only walk through front to back ..she would never come up behind you. My poor son caught h311 before he got so tall. She would hit them EVERY time.
