Funniest Thing Your Pet Does/Did?

[AutumnMist]

We have a dachshund that is obsessed with the backyard tree. I mean truly and really obsessed with it. There was a family of squirrels that had nested in it when we first moved in and it drove our dog nuts. The squirrels are long gone but the dog still tries to bark his vocal cords out while running at top speed for hours at a time in the backyard around the tree. He has actually worn a path to the tree and killed the grass around it. One day we are going to build a spiral staircase around the tree just to see what he does when he can finally reach his goal in life and climb the damn tree to see what is up there. Its wonderful summer entertainment, especially after you have had a few glasses of wine. He has become an urban legend in our neighborhood. Buster the wonder dog. LOL.

1. My black lab tore up a roll of toilet paper this morning

Toilet paper all over the damn place. :(

[AutumnMist]

3. Don't You Hate That?

Our dogs run gleefully down the stairs with one end of the toilet paper while the roll spins frantically in the bathroom. Its always a joy to clean up.

[JackBeck]

26. Our cat Suki will un-spool all the toilet paper in the bathrooms

if we're away for more than 5 days.

She'll also did-up plants out of their pots.

We think it's cute because she's telling us that she likes us by doing naughty things.

2. a pic is worth a thousand words

[AutumnMist]

4. Thats Awesome!

Will he/she just sit there until you tell them to lay back down?

[matcom]

7. he will sit like that until he gets food from the table

:rofl:

5. My poodle, Peaches

I had three floor to ceiling 6 inch wide mirrors in my living room. They were spaced about 4 inches apart and were beside a door going into another room. Peaches, the poodle, would sit in front of those mirrors looking at the "other dog" and growl at it. If the door to the other room was open she'd growl at the "other dog" and then run like hell into the other room looking for it. A few seconds later she'd come back to the living room with the most confused look on her face. She was so pissed off that she didn't catch the "other dog". She'd then turn around and, lo and behold, there was that damn "other dog" again! She'd then start the whole growling and chasing thing again. We laughed our butts off and after about three search missions, we'd close the door and she'd stop her hunt.

6. My dog runs in circles about fifty times before going to the bathroom.

She also plays catch with herself.

[hopein08]

22. Mine does the same thing!

Sometimes I think she doesn't want to stop playing to go to the bathroom so she runs around in crazy circles (figure eights and all). Just like a little kid who doesn't want to stop playing to go to the bathroom. I call her running in circle periods "psycho pup."

8. Vinnie the 5 month old Mutant Corgi and the Mini-Howls.

He throws his head back, and does a 1 second mini-howl, sometimes with a little vibratto.

Cute shit like this keeps the little scheisse alive through his prolonged house training.

This isn't him: it's a picture of his uncle Charlie.

[Patiod]

11. A corgi I know had a "no cats on the floor" policy

It was a riot - he completely ignored the cat unless the cat had the audacity to touch her paw to the floor, at which point he went running after her, barking his fool head off. Mostly she walked around the small apartment using window sills and furniture, and didn't need to ever get to ground level.

But sometimes she would sit on the sofa, and dip a paw near the floor to see if he was watching. He ignored her, until she finally actually touchedthe floor, at which point they were off and running.

Really sick relationship.

[Tyler Durden]

27. Corgis is the QUAZIEST PEOPLES!

But we love em. got 3.

[sakabatou]

30. Almost looks like Ein

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Jessie, our Shetland Sheepdog, herds the children when they

are on the swings. She will run for hours around the swingset. She did the same thing when MrG was putting a new roof on the garage. Our entire yard is trashed.

I couldn't figure out what was happening with my tomato plants. There were no tomatoes... Then one day Jessie jumped on my lap and I caught a whiff of tomato breath. Only she gorges herself and ends up "returning" the tomatoes to me. :eyes:

[philosophie_en_rose]

10. One of my yorkies cleans up after the other two.

He collects all the toys and puts them in the big dog bed. He doesn't care if the other dogs play with the toys. He just makes a habit of putting everything in a big pile and sleeping on top.

He really is the sweetest dog, though he's also a jumper and now all of the dogs are teaching each other their bad habits. (My little girl dog herds people towards the treat canister; and the other boy yorkie cries instead of barking - because the people that had him as a puppy beat him for barking (poor baby!)).

So now I have a trio of jumping, herding, crying terriers. :bounce:

[cwydro]

12. My cat hunts shoes.

I can never find the complete pair...

[cobalt1999]

13. My dog caught a deer once...

Now that doesn't sound funny initially, but we were out hiking and she saw this deer and took off. I chased them through woods for about a mile getting angrier and angrier with each step. I crested a small hill and my dog had this deer on the ground holding it by the throat. I pull her off and the deer runs off no worse for wear.

At this point, I'm furious. I grab her collar and start yelling at her, but I swear the dogs eyes were twinkling and she seemed to have a huge goofy grin on her face. She was SO proud of herself, she was literally prancing on her toes. I tried to keep yelling but I ended up just laughing and laughing at her all the way home. If she could talk, she'd be telling the story still.

[Brewman_Jax]

14. Cat likes my dad

freeper that he is. The cat goes to him, and he doesn't like the attention (why he had kids...? :shrug:) and calls mom to come get her cat. She says that the cat likes him and he can get up out of the chair and let him out. I get to see this when I stop over.

[China_cat]

18. No, the cat knows

and does it to bug him. Watch some time...they will gravitate toward the person who likes them least.

My husband's mother did not like animals of any kind. So, the first time she came to visit us she ended up white knuckled in a chair with 2 cats curled up in her lap sleeping. What makes this so illustrative is that these were 2 cats we normally had to keep separated because they HATED each other. And when MIL was not there, they went back to hating each other.

[MrCoffee]

15. We had a cat who screamed at us until we turned on Winged Migration for him

We rented it when it first came out, and he sat in rapt attention in front of the tv for the whole thing. it ended, we turned off the tv and went about our lives. he sat there staring at the blank screen for about half an hour, then started screaming his head off. he never budged, just sat there yelling and howling. we thought he was sick, and checked him all over, but he kept hollering. eventually MrsCoffee picked up the remote, and he stopped yelling and stared at her hand while she turned the tv and dvd player back on. when the movie came back on, he shut up and watched the whole thing all over again.

he also enjoyed watching NASCAR.

[1gobluedem]

16. We had a goldfish that used to jump out of the bowl

If he saw any of us in the hall, he'd jump out. I guess he wanted to play.

[kwassa]

17. My cat would unroll toilet paper off the roll over the cat box

After doing her business in the cat box, which sat between the toilet and the wall holding the toilet paper dispenser, my cat would sit on her haunches, and turn the toilet paper roll with her front feet, like a treadmill. She would run off about fifteen feet of toilet paper, which by this time was blanketed the cat box, and then walk away.

Many a time I would walk into the bathroom and see all the heaped toilet paper.

To stop it, I had to turn the rolls around so they unrolled from the back. She never learned to run the rolls backwards.

[cautiouslywaiting]

19. Lol

My cats like to play with the pots and pans in the kitchen.

[lyonn]

20. My daughter adoped a German Shepherd at the age of 7 mos.

and shortly after bringing her home she saw the Shepherd carrying around new born kittens in her mouth. Daughter was terrified that she was killing them, but no, she was just totin' em. She did that for a long time until the kittens got older and tired of that routine. They still all get along great, kittens get a bit wet with slobber tho.

[IntravenousDemilo]

21. My cat Alice likes the taste of earwax.

If I get an itchy ear and stick my finger in, she'll move mountains to get where she can lick my fingertip. Sometimes she even sticks her rough tongue right in my earhole.

My late cat Arsenio liked to put out flames with his paw and then lick off the burnt fur. It got so that I could call him from any part of the house by just flicking my Bic.

[sakabatou]

31. LMAO

[SOteric]

23. Last night's unceremonious dip into the kitchen sink was good for a chuckle.

Kitty tried unsuccessfully to navigate his way onto the top of the fridge and landed his wet, fuzzy ass into a pot soaking in the sink instead. He was not amused. I was; but he was not amused. :7

[Lowell]

24. Watson puts his toys away

Watson is a 12 year Jack Russell who is a neat freak. He has a wagon full of toys. Every evening before we all go to be he collects his toys and puts them in his wagon. A couple years ago we got him a little sister, Lucille, who is now three. She drives Watson nuts by flinging his toys all over the house. He dutifully spends a lot of time picking up after her. I wish my two legged kids were as well behaved.

[meegbear]

25. My cat Max greets me when I drive home ...

he recognizes my car and when he sees me drive in and back up into my parking spot, he jumps on the front hood and climbs onto the roof and stands there as a finish parking.

He then waits for me to step out of the car, purring like crazy. And since it's cooler out and I'm wearing a jacket, he wants to climb on my shoulders and carry him in around my neck.

[Haole Girl]

28. My cat makes me do tricks..

..he especially loves it when I turn on the water for him!

[BlueStorm]

29. We had a talking cat

His name was Sylvester, a black and white Manx. He would say my name as well as my sister's. He also would cry like a baby when he had a bath and plead "no, nooooo! no!!" He actually was a very smart cat. He knew how to open doors which annoyed me because I would keep my door closed at night and he would wake me up by opening the door and getting on my bed.

32. Well here are some other talking cats

35. LOL!!! The "Oh Long Johnson" cat is hilarious!!!

So is the "I don't wanna" cat. Sylvester used to say "hello" all the time in addition to calling our names.

33. I once baby-sat a young Victoria Crowned Pigeon

... who used to jump out of his basket in the spare room, and walk around the house looking for me -- then promptly sit on my feet when he did find me.

Also, he became accustomed to the sound of the microwave warming up his food, and would get really excited if he heard it going off! Kind of a new spin on Pavlov's bell.

[Lisa]

34. oh, and then there was the baby chicken

... who imprinted on the cat, and would follow her around the yard. Totally creeped the cat out ("Get away from me! I'm not your mother!")

[Lisa]

41. correcting double-post

It was the pigeon that really got into the sound of the microwave -- the chicken didn't get quite as enthusiastic, but she did develop a habit of "dust-bathing" in my outstretched hands (she'd make digging motions and then roll around). This continued until she got too big to sit in my opened hands (and by then her toenails were getting kind of sharp anyway).

[Nikia]

36. MY dog didn't adjust to the time change right away

I get home normally around 5:45 p.m. My husband says that my dog starts watching for me around 5:30 p.m. With the time change, he was starting his watch around 4:30 p.m.

[wickerwoman]

37. My cat plays fetch...

Anytime I sit on the couch giving computer more attention than her, she'll jump on the back of coach and drop something on my shoulder. When I throw it away, she'll scramble across the room, retrieve it, jump back up and drop it on my shoulder again. She'll do this for hours....

It's good exercise for her, and low maintenence quality kitty time for me. And computer doesn't get jealous.

On edit: that's couch, not coach :blush:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

38. Link ate the olives off my pizza

when he was a cheeky little kitten.

[ganeshji]

39. My cat steals money from me.

She loves coins and paper too. I used to just throw my loose change on the dresser at the end of the day and it would always disappear. I accused my husband of taking it for nearly two years until we finally had thrown out our old bed and discovered her stash. She is pretty inventive in finding new places to hide her "income" as we call it. I recently saw her pushing a nickel under the couch.

[gr8dane_daddy]

40. My baby Haley does this little dance with her two front feet...

whenever I get home. Kinda sways side to side as she dances.

[skygazer]

42. My Boxer Dixie liked to have her nails painted

I was doing mine one day and she got curious so I did hers too. That was it - after that, as soon as she saw the bottle of nail polish come out she'd drape herself across my lap and extend her paw! It was so cute. She was a very girly girl in some ways - her favorite was bright red. Man, I miss her!

This is Dix -

[marzipanni]

46. Dixie looks like a sweetie pie, and she knew what she liked!

My border collie/heeler speaks, a soft bark, when I ask her if she wants dog biscuits. If I put the biscuit box on the floor, she nudges it over with her muzzle, or punches it over with her foot, but only if she wants biscuits. If I hold up the enameled mug kibble scoop she speaks a soft bark if she wants kibble. Sometimes she doesn't seem interested in the biscuits until I hold up a jar of peanut butter or show her the butter, then she speaks up, and I put a little dab on. When she sees me put milk in my coffee, she looks up expectingly, hoping I'll pour a little in her bowl. I think it's fun to let her make decisions.

[youthere]

43. Our little dachshund HATES fleas...

even the word. All we have to do is whisper "you have fleas...fleas FLEAS!" and she'll start to snarl and growl. If you make a pinching noise at her and say it louder, "FLEASFLEASFLEAS!!" she'll start barking and won't quit until you tell her they're all gone.

[Skittles]

44. Riff Raff leaves me surprises in the water bowl

I call it Artwork by Riff Raff - here is a bookmark he swiped out of a book that was on the couch:

[SoyCat]

45. I had a cat who would use the litter pan and then meow really

loudly to alert me to the fact that I needed to scoop and flush. Then she would diligently watch me scoop the clumps, lower the lid, and flush. Afterward, she would wait to look into the toilet before flopping over on my feet and rubbing her head on my ankles to express her gratitude. Then, of course, she did laps around the apartment. I had a friend who said cats run post-litter pan laps at "mach poo"!

[benny05]

47. About one of my kitties

12 years ago, she used to sleep during most of the Sunday morning talking head shows. But if Bob Dole got on TV with his usual American flag behind him, she would wake up and watch him attentively.

I wish I had recorded those events and put them on Letterman's stupid pet tricks! :bounce:

Incidentally, in the 1996 race, when she found out that Bob Dole had a dog and would displace Socks as first pet, she never watched Dole again.

[Le Taz Hot]

48. One of my favorites:

One of my cats figured out how to open cabinet doors. When I was still single I came home with my date to find tampons, out of their wrappers, strewn ALL over the house. She had opened the bathroom cabinet and discovered the "cat toys" with "tails." Oy!

[astral]

49. My cat runs halfway down the stairs to meet me

when I am coming home from work. I can always hear his teeny little 'meeeow' hello sound, as he is a great big Maine Coone cat with the teeny little voice. He does many cute things! When he's telling me to give him cat food (the canned food bowl, which is the only one that goes empty) he'll whap at the bowl as I pick it up off the floor to indicate that I'm on the right track. I have to remember to hold tight to the bowl because one time he accidentally knocked it right out of my hand right onto the floor.

He's got razor sharp claws, and much as he'll try to get away from me when I give him his annual bath (and he's pretty darned strong) he's never once clawed or bit me during this struggle. A very cool cat.
