Tell us something weird that your pet does.

[Padraig18]

My cat will thoroughly and systematically lick dry the front of your knees when you get out of the shower or tub, if you let him.

:)

[calico1]

1. My Rottie walks backwords out of rooms.

he backs out rather than turn around. And he likes to sit on my lap! All 130 lbs of him. He thinks he is a tiny little puppy.

[RebelOne]

19. Oh, wow!! I have a 100-pound Rottie and at least she knows

that she cannot fit in my lap. I am happy that she is not an overly affection dog because I only weigh 135 pounds.

[calico1]

25. I weigh 135 too.

The problem is I have 5 cats. He sees them sitting on my lap so I'm sure he thinks "well if they can sit on Mommie's lap so can I! She's my mommie too!" Like I said he has no idea what a big boy he is!

[kikiek]

2. My big boy Boston Terrier sucks on blankets. You can't have a blanket

only he can. They all belong to Max.

[Guy Fawkes]

3. Our cat Max will lead you around by meowing for you, waiting for a moment

then walking off. He'll repeat this untill he's walked around the downstairs 2 or 3 times. Then he plops down on the couch and lets you rub his tummy.

[eyesroll]

4. Laughs

Olive, the little tiny green speck in my avatar, laughs. She doesn't do a human laugh (although her species of parrot is technically capabe, she's not) -- she chirps in a way that's "he he he." I know she's laughing because she does it while we laugh (and for a long time, only did it when we laughed).

[baldguy]

5. I was watching a TV program about wolf/dog hybrids.

The sound track had a lot of barking/growling/yipping etc. My dog didn't bad an eye. At least until...

SQUEAKY TOY! She ran over to the TV & started sniffing at it, whining and wagging her tail.

[Neshanic]

24. My dog goes nuts when you talk though a paper towell tube.

[Misunderestimator]

6. My cat will cry and cry if you have cucumber slices on your eyes

until you give one to him... which he will then devour. He also likes tomatoes and canteloupe. And he will talk incessantly if you talk back to him. He also beats on any closed doors.

[curse10]

41. LMAO

that is the funniest thing I've heard in a long while. It made my night!

[bigwillq]

7. My boyfriend's chinchilla (spell?)

which I also consider mine (the pet as well as the b/f) eats rice and beans. That may not be weird but I thought I would just share.

[medeak]

8. not weird but passive aggressive

12 yr old golden retriever will scratch on door emphatically to come in..when you open door she walks away for a bit....then decides to grace us with her presence.

[liontamer]

9. one of my cats never learned to meow

She just releases these horrible wails whenever she wants something.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. My Cat is a basket full of crazy, weird behaviors..

But he's very smart and understands about 15-20 English words. Really.

He sucks on his tail.. I've seen cats that were maybe weaned too early suck on blankets, etc. But he basically, well, what he does to his tail borders on the obscene.

He also will fetch, but not as much as when he was a kitten.

He's a VERY FUNNY cat.

[Padraig18]

11. awwwww.....

Maybe we need to prune that tongue back just a bit, though. ;)

[Pied Piper]

12. Two cats...

Miranda loves to bury her face in my stinky shoes, for hours on end. Her twin sister Minverva likes to stand on top of the air conditioner and slap the wind chimes.

[AlCzervik]

13. Our guinea pig Bob leaps vertically without a running start

He's a weird little rodent.

[carpediem]

14. our dog, a border collie, hides in the pantry

when we watch athletic events on tv. It started with football and now it is whenever he hears the sound of a crowd. (He also hid during the DNC)

he also plays catch with himself in the pool. He will drop his ball in over the water returns, watch as it floats away and when it is about 3/4 of the way across the pool he will jump in after it. Then he runs back and does it again ... and again... and again...

[Padraig18]

15. We had border collies.

They do tend to be a bit obsessive, when it comes to playing with balls, don't they?

:P

[carpediem]

27. a bit obsessive??

He would play ball until he dropped if we let him.

Absolutely wonderful dog though - he can drive us crazy, but we love him to death. Here he is:

[Robb]

16. Plays dress-up

He puts on this outfit and goes trolling for roosters. I just don't get it.

[Djinn]

37. Cool dog Robb!

My dog's only real freaky habits are her cat like ability to walk along fence lines and her dislike of big boots - if anyone wears them she tries to bite their ankles - a leftover from being born in a chaotic party house and being terrified of being trodden on I think. Oh and her eyes have a weird helldog look in photo's!



My old cat used to go mental if she could smell chlorine or bleach on your hands, she's rub her face all over them - apparently it was something that a lot of cats like the smell off? mine was a toatl bleach junkie

[DrWeird]

17. The cat loves brown paper bags.

It'll run into them at hide for about five minutes, like it's a little cave.

One time we stuck one right side up in the middle of the living room. Sort of a feline IQ test. We wanted to see if it would knock it down and then go in or maybe just jump in from the top. It sniffed around the bag for a minute then left the room. So we forgot about it and watched TV.

About half an hour later it somehow got on the top of some really high cabinets, up near the vaulted ceiling. As we were watching TV, much to our surprise this cat-sized black streak launches itself head first from the ceiling into the brown paper bag in the middle of the living room.

He didn't even try to land feet first, head first the whole way, like he couldn't see the bottom. Of course there was a loud thump, and the bag was horribly still for a few moments. Gathering our wits we checked in the bag and he was OK, but he doesn't care for brown paper bags anymore.

[Donkeyboy75]

62. Great story.

Sounds about as dumb as the two cats I grew up with.

[Deja Q]

18. My parrot, upon seeing me after I'm done showering...

LAUGHS.

I've nothing to be ashamed about, and Zoe doesn't realize he's nekkid either. :D

[hlthe2b]

20. When it thunders, she runs terrified to the darkened bathroom

and remains hidden behindthe shower curtain--just sitting silently in the bathtub sometimes for more than an hour!

She's just started doing this. Given my "Psycho" phobia, the first time I found her in there-- eyes reflecting back in the pitch dark-- I nearly lost it!

[Mandate My Ass]

21. One of my dogs hates loud angry voices-loves loud happy voices

She will not only run and hide under the nearest bed if she's senses anger whether it be loud or just an angry tone-of-voice. However if there's a sports game on TV and a bunch of people scream encouragement or victory, she prances around on her hind legs smiling.

She also has a game she plays with grapes. If you give her one she will pick it up in her mouth, fling it across the room, chase it and repeat this proces until the grape is nothing but a little ball of mush, after which she either gobbles it up and comes back for a second one, or just becomes bored with the whole game and walks away.

[Philosophy]

22. My toy rat terrier is a tennis ball freak

She weighs all of 7 pounds and she has to open her mouth as wide as possible to cram one in, but whenever I take here anywhere in the car, she has to take a tennis ball with her. Last week I cleaned out my car and extracted about 20 balls that she had lost under the seats. Sometimes she even insists on taking a ball with her when we go for a walk. A few times we've gone on a two mile walk in 90 degree heat and she carried a tennis ball the whole way and almost passed out from exhaustion. Sometimes she'll let me play fetch with the ball with her, but most of the time she plays another game she invented where she'll set the ball right in front of me and then snatch it up and run away growling if I try to reach for it. If she has the ball in her mouth I can pick her up by it and she will not let go. If she can't find her ball and I tease her by saying "I have your ball!" (even if I don't really have it), she will get angry attack and bite me. She goes through about 1 ball a week - most of them just get lost when she carries them somewhere, and the rest she eats all the fuzz off (which often causes great trouble later coming out) and then punctures and shreds the rubber part. She used to like squeaky toys and chew toys when she was a puppy, but now she plays exclusively with her tennis balls.

[Beaverhausen]

23. One of my cats sits on the edge of the tub while I'm in the shower

sometimes she just sits there but sometimes she pokes her head around the curtain and yells at me! Then when I get out she yells more.

[ET Awful]

74. Both of my cats do that, and if I'm taking a bath instead of a shower,

they'll sit there and talk to me until I'm done.

[TrogL]

84. Mine paddles the water in the bath

to make the bubbles go away, then drinks. She does this when there's no bubbles. She's just a fresh water freak. If there isn't fresh water in her dish she'll sit there and complain or even get me up in the middle of the night.

[ET Awful]

86. Quinn drinks out of the tub when I'm there. Althea doesn't know ..

what to make of that much water yet :)

[flamingyouth]

26. Hepburn meows loudly and repeatedly when I'm on the phone

He likes to come right up to the phone to do it. It sounds hilarious. He has a really funny, whiny meow too.:)

[Wcross]

28. My dogs do that n/t

[Baja Margie]

29. Actually, I don't know if this is weird

or not, but the baby, Bridgett, she is a little tiny mix of Papillon, a Mexicana puro. She cleans Bandit the cat's teeth and ears every night, and Bandit weighs more than her. She sleeps with Bandit, too.

Jack, the corgi, now he's 10 years old, snout fishes. At the beach, or on any stream or river, he will hunt for fish with his snout. He also plays "volley." Volley is where he hits the ball back to you with his nose, sometimes he catches the ball in his mouth, and that is a foul, we call that mouth ball. He will also get behind the steering wheel of the truck and pop the horn.Jack will play soccer with large balls. We take him up to the soccer field and the kids love him, he pushes the ball with his nose. He's a very good blocker.

Bandit the cat does many weird and wonderful things, he drools for one thing, and he paws at you in the morning if you don't get up.

Emily, another kitty, unfortunately, has mental problems. We call her a wolverine, because she is wild. She will bite your hand when you are feeding her, and eats vanilla ice cream late at night.

Bonnie, the other Corgi, will hide all her treats, and you would never know where they were. When gifts of fluffy toys are brought home, she will grab one and run and hide it and sometimes just lay on it so that noone else gets it. She loves to bodysurf and swim.

If these pups don't go to the beach and run and swim at least twice a week, they will pout.

Russian, the russian-blue cat, who is gone now, would go for walks with us and the pups every night. these were long walks, and he would keep right up with us. Sometimes Bandit and Tabby (now deceased) would come along, but they would only go halfway.

I have to go feed the troops.

[libertad]

75. I've got a corgi / chow who hides treats and toys immediately, too.

[Selwynn]

30. It's so wierd... it does non-existence!

Beat that! :)

[Chovexani]

31. My cat has a serious foot fetish

He's constantly playing with people's feet. He tries to bite my toes when I'm sleeping.

He also likes "foot tag". My dining room table is right near the stairs, and whenever I go downstairs and walk past the table he jumps out from underneath one of the chairs and tries to grab my feet. Sometimes he'll clamp onto my shins with all four limbs and I have to shake him off, hehe.

[daligirrl]

34. My black kittie, Pitch. . .

loves everything feet. But what is really disgusting is that he is obsessed with my oldest, smelliest pair of sandles. I only wear these around the house, especially if I'm cleaning up, and as soon as I take them off he is sniffing them and rolling around the floor in ecstasy! It's kind of disturbing.

[Chovexani]

40. Frodo does that too!

I have an old decrepit pair of tabi shoes that serve as my slippers, and whenever I take them off he always sniffs them and bats them around the room (they're fairly light and I have hardwood floors). And when he was a kitten, he used to sleep inside my Dr. Martens (we both got a surprise whenever it was time to put my boots on).

Maybe our kitties were separated at birth? :)

[daligirrl]

45. I got my kitties at the Humane Society. . .

Where are you? Perhaps they are from the same litter of shoe-sniffing sweeties?

[Chovexani]

46. I'm in NYC

My kitty was a rescue. Maybe they come from the same gene pool. :)

[daligirrl]

47. Tell your kitty

that he has a South Bend, IN cousin!

[DemWitch]

32. Kyra, my PitMix is terrified of the heater vents.

She won't walk on them and if her ball lands on one she will whine and carry on until you push it off onto the floor. Enki, the oldest cat, still nurses on Kyra even though he's 3 years old. Xander, the younger cat will for no reason puff and run into the wall, hissing and spitting. Just another normal day here...

[wickerwoman]

33. My cat is a philosopher.

His has to reach the highest possible space. I have this big wardrobe in my bedroom with about a foot of space between the top and the ceiling. He will sit on the edge of the bed and stare at that space, crying for hours. I've lifted him up to show him that it's nothing but dust bunnies but he won't be satisfied until he can lie up their looking down on everything. And of course I wouldn't be able to get him down.

They also know the sound of the drawer opening where I keep the pistachio nuts. They'll come running the whole length of the apartment if they hear it. I give them the uncracked ones to knock around on the floor. If you have hardwood floors, I highly recommend it. Keeps the little rodents busy for hours.

[kodi]

35. my KodiBear likes to sleep in the bathtub

one night a few years ago i went into the bathroom to take a leak, and did not put the light on, in mid-stream, i felt a hairy touch on the back of my knee that scared the shit out of me, i turned to the tub, still in streaming mode to see kodi with her head resting on the lip of tub. i peed all over her.

you had to have been there.

[Khephra]

36. Which one? We used to have a cattery

I used to have a cat named "Godzilla" (really...he looked like him in the face) and he'd attack my lego cities on command. He'd just sit there waiting for me to get done and then I'd snap my fingers and he'd destroy the lego city.

39. I have a weird, weird dog....

He loves eating tissues, especially used tissues.

When he's mad, instead of growling, he twitches his cheeks so they start flapping around.

He pees like a girl but poops unlike any other dog. (He twists his butt to the side, bringing his hind legs in front and then poops.)

When begging for food, he props himself on his hind legs and then "jumps around" on them while whining.

When he doesn't understand you, he snorts then bites his lip.

When he meets new people he hides behind a chair and barks at them (I know, a great guard dog, ain't he?)

Here he is:

[curse10]

44. My dog loved eating used tissues!!

Then puking them up! He was a nasty dog!

[TheCentepedeShoes]

88. My poodle has eaten

my husband's Dr Scholls shoe inserts. Yuck!!!

[curse10]

42. My dearly beloved Tiffy used to love to lick photos

she was a grumpy kitty, but she sure did love a good photo licking session. Wiped many a photo clean. She was a little bit crazy.

[ZenLefty]

43. My cat brings fake mice to the kitchen for a kitty treat.

I hide the mice throughout the house in the morning, and he hunts them and catches them when he's hungry for a treat.

[yellowdog]

48. My cat will not go to sleep at night unless

I have her back feet in my hand. She started this the night I brought her from the shelter (she was 1 year old at the time) and has done it ever since.

[HEyHEY]

49. He keeps eating the mailman

[TheCentepedeShoes]

89. Funny you should mention

the mailman. Got a "generic" letter in the box today about keeping your dog restrained. Raven "attacks" the mailman whenever he sees him on the porch. He's really very friendly if he meets someone without the barrier of a door or window. He was kissing all over the chimney sweep yesterday until he turned on his vacuum.

[MuseRider]

50. I had an Elkhound

who used to poop on top of things. The bottom rail of our fence was covered in poop, every bolder we would pass on a walk, bushes and the other dogs, nothing was sacred. He would do a hand stand on his front legs and back himself up to whatever was available. It was so strange but caused many an interesting conversation with people at the park. He was very strange in many ways. The next time I see a strange pet thread I will tell you about him pulling off the neighbors wooden leg (I am serious). :shrug:

[Dem2theMax]

53. No. Not fair. I cannot wait till the next 'strange pet thread'.

I have to know now. LOL.
I have been howling with laughter at all of the posts here.
So I'm gonna sit here and wait for the 'wooden leg' story! :)

[MuseRider]

54. Ok, I am back and here is my story.

When single I lived in an upstairs apartment with my doggie. He was a stinker and tolerated nobody but me. I lived next door to an old man who was the nicest guy in the world and he rented his upper floor to another old man who was also very nice and we all made friends except my dog. Mr. Markley, the man upstairs was a veteran and had a wooden leg. He wanted to make friends with my dog. I had my dog in the back yard but since it was not fenced and I did not want to chain him to a post I rigged a chain on a clothes line so he had the run of the yard and Mr. Markley would bring him goodies and was making some progress. One afternoon I was awakened from my nap by this awful yelling and barking. My dog had let Mr. Markley into the back yard with his goodie. Once he had his goodie he ran around Mr. Markley and tangled him in the chain. All I could see when I looked out was the poor old guy laying on his back and my dog running around. When I got outside I saw my dog running wildly from something caught up in his chain. It was Mr. Markley's wooden leg, the shoe still on it. Mr. Markley was very good natured about it all and said it was his own fault. I rescued his leg and helped him up to his apartment. It was sad but very, very funny since Mr. Markley thought it was and he was a real good sport about it. This was one strange dog, I have many stories of him. RIP Eric you strange old doggie you.

[Dem2theMax]

61. It was worth the wait!

OMG, you are so lucky that Mr. Markley was a good sport. I can just picture this in my mind. I'd have tears falling down my face from laughing so hard. :)

[MuseRider]

68. I honestly never figured

out how he got it off. I was so lucky to live next door to two such kind people. They eventually made some kind of truce with my dog. Even if they never came into my back yard again he did not bark quite so loudly once he was accepting of their treats. The dogs dislike of anyone else kept me safe in that apartment, he would sleep inside by the door so I always felt safe. He was an interesting creature, lived for 16 years.

[nuxvomica]

51. My cat calls me by name

When he's really trying to get my attention and I'm not responding. He's called it out at night once when I was away so I have witnesses.

[Kadie]

52. One of my cats loves to lick envelopes.

She is a big help when it is time to pay the bills.

[Tikki]

55. Tikki sings....

'stupid pet tricks' kind of singing...

silly dog :)

[slinkerwink]

56. My dog, Max, loves to fight the big bad evil pillows on the couch

when he's excited. He'll bump his head against the pillows and push them off the couch.

[Dastard Stepchild]

57. My cat likes sock bundles...

I have found rolled-up sock balls all over the house. I have to be very careful with clean laundry and make sure that I put the socks away in a drawer, or they end up all over the house. Once, when I was moving, I unearthed a pile of about 20 sock bundles under the couch. They have also turned up in the litterbox, under my pillow, and in open boxes, all in mass quantities. If a drawer is open and he can pull out a sock bundle, he will. He also pulled a sock off a small child once, while the child was wearing it. Very obsessed with foot gear.

[JSJ]

58. my cat, putty, stalks and tries to tackle humans- he's half feral u know

[Placebo]

59. She likes to puke a lot.

:shrug:

[kariatari]

60. My yellow lab steals cucumbers from neighbors' garden one by one...

and stockpiles them in our yard. She once had a pile of 13 cucumbers before we stopped her. She's such a little nerd.

[Skittles]

63. my cat attacked the apartment maintenance man today

he came in to fix my overhead kitchen light - he was carrying those long neon tube things and I think it freaked Clancy out - he arched his back, hissed and attacked. I had to grab Clancy and throw him in the bedroom. :o

[scarlet_owl]

64. One of my ferrets likes to run around with a slipper in

his mouth. He'll just take it back and forth around the house all night. The slipper is about as big as he is, and is very bulky to lug for him, so it's hilarious.

[serryjw]

65. EINSTEIN is 16 years old and 13 lbs

1) he goes potty with me. He can be sound asleep but if he hears me in the potty he comes in a goes also......a family that pees together,stays together
2) He has figured out how to anchor himself to the seat of the potty and drink out of it without falling in....He is very appreciative for such a large bowl of COLD water.....

[Dying Eagle]

66. My cat

Will go out of her way to lay in the pile that I swept up in the kitchen. She does it every time!!!

[yellowdawgdem]

67. My cat is attached to a piggy bride

My gray tiger cat has a stuffed animal that she loves, it's a pink piggie with a veil. I think it's called a piggie bride, and she will drag it around the room by it's veil. I've tried giving her other stuffie's but none will do.

[Misunderestimator]

69. My cat's favorite toy is a ripped up little furry skin of a toy mouse.

I got him new ones, but he would rather play with the skin.

[InkAddict]

70. My doggy barks and physically attacks

the vacumn cleaner. Must hurt his ears or he has a phobia of being sucked up?

[MuseRider]

80. Funny

my Lab runs up when I use the attachement and will stick his tongue in it. His tounge is already a foot long (well, almost) and it makes a really funny noise. I have to watch out because somehow it seems dangerous. The others run and hide from the Big Mean Scary.

[redqueen]

81. My chihuahua did that too

Miss that little guy! :(

[NanBo]

71. My cat cries

when anyone sneezes. This is essentially the ONLY time he ever cries but he'll meow/cry once for each sneeze. Weird thing is--you can't fake him out on a fake sneeze. It doesn't matter if he's in a different room--if you sneeze, he cries out. It's amazing :)

[southpaw]

72. Swallows live mice head first!!!

But, being that he's a snake, that's actually not that unusual.

[ze_dscherman]

73. Not my pet

A former female friend of mine had been picked up by a stray dog and kept him. A real affectionate, clever dog, with lots of soul and remarkable personality that I remember even after more than 20 years.

He just had a tiny flaw - he was addicted to oral self-gratification. He did it whenever he could (and he could! :D ), for hours, and made loud and weird noises doing it.

[TransitJohn]

76. My ex-wife's dog will

incessantly run away from her to be with me. Brooklyn (the dog) has even gone 20+ miles to get back to me.

[jonnyblitz]

77. my parent's manx cat required a litter box escort.

my parents used to have a manx cat(cat with a stub for a tail) that was very disliked by their black cat. The black cat would attack the manx whenever the manx would get in the litter box in the basement. My parents were finding cat messes all over the place and couldnt figure out why but the same time it was noticed that the black cat was attacking her when she went to the litter box. Soon the manx would approach a family member and meow and run in circles until somebody stood up at which point the cat led them to the litter box and used it. So every time the manx had to use the litter box she would try to get somebody to go down with and stand there while she went to keep the black cat from attacking her. when she would come up to you and start meowing frantically while pacing around in circles you knew she needed you to escort her to the litter box and stand guard. and of course if nobody was around to provide escort service they("we" if i was around) would find a mess or two...the cat died in the late 90's.

[qanda]

78. My german shepherd either covers or hides her food

One time we couldn't find the dish for over a month-- it was in the basement way in the back of something. It may be to keep it away from her sister, who eats more than her. :shrug:

[redqueen]

79. One of my cats

when he's begging for attention, will reach out with one paw, and flex his paw open, as if he's reaching out so desperately for affection... also if you're petting him and you stop, he'll do the same thing.

He also converses with you. Once you start talking to him, though, he doesn't stop. :)

[Butterflies]

82. my dog brings home dead flat animals from the road

Sometimes I can't even tell what kind of animals they are because they've been run over so much. I have to say that's the worst thing for me about having a dog. (She's half Border Collie and half Labrador Retriever.)

[Beaverhausen]

83. This thread is hilarious! Let me tell you about my mom's cat

Jasper...he is absolutely gorgeous. A sort of part siamese mix with stripes on his points. He is graceful and sleek and a real sweetie- tons of personality.

But he is a BAD KITTIE!

My mom can't have ANY toilet paper rolls out in the bathrooms... he will shread them in seconds.

He can open doors- the kind with handles. He just jumps on the handle till the door opens then the strolls in the room like, "What?"

He chews things. He chewed the fingers off of my wool gloves the last time i went to visit. He also keeps a small sock near his food dish that he chews alternately with food when he eats.

He used to retrieve a dice (die?) but seems to have stopped doing that.

[Bertha Venation]

85. Richard begs to be wrapped in a post-shower bath towel. (more)

Cocoa eats peanut butter.

Petey loves his moms by licking their fingers, hands, arms, feet, whatever is at hand.

Harry plays with a toy mouse, then takes it to his dish, eats a few bites of food, chews on the mouse, eats a few more bites, chews on the mouse some more . . . . I think this is my favorite.

Toby & Daddy don't do anything weird, but they do plenty that's funny.

[Behind the Aegis]

87. pets are fun!

Tony, our cat, knows that when I say "squeak, squeak" means I have a toy mouse for him and he will attack it. He is also the clumsiest cat I have ever seen. Our parrot, Willow, will makes noise at me when I kiss my partner. She is nice to me (most of the time), but LOVES my partner! Caesar, the black-masked lovebird, "talks" in his sleep and will hang upside-down, like a bat, when he sleeps, on occasion. I can hand feed our two female Betta fish. We have a gay male Betta fish! Our 4 hamsters have all registered to vote for Kerry! Just kidding, they are not old enough to vote yet! :)

[TheCentepedeShoes]

90. Raven taught himself to

"throw" his ball. When he fetches his ball from the back of the yard he returns to the deck and instead of just dropping it for us to pick up, he sets it on the edge of the deck. Then he takes his paw and "bats" it toward us. When he first learned this we lived at another house where the deck was level with the ground. Now the deck is about 18 inches off the ground, so it took him awhile to learn the "up and down" thing and there are a few balls way under the deck. (And no, I'm not going under there to get them)

[Samurai_Writer]

91. My pets don't have many wierd traits...

My gray cat, Smoke, does have this one wierd thing he does. He vertically jumps and then leaps about four feet over a certain spot in my apartment. It's the doorway to my guest bathroom. I also noticed he did this to the doorway from the hall to the family room at my old house. It's like he's afraid to walk through the doorways, although he does walk through other doorways.

My dog, a cocker spaniel, Magic, doesn't have any wierd traits. He's the sweetest, most well-behaved dog I've ever had. And my black cat, Nightmare (Smoke's mom) is very sweet and seems to have no sense of pain whatsoever. Poor kitty has been sick and hurt and never complains. She purrs constantly, even at the vet's office.

92. Have one more...

It's how he behaves in the car (and going for a ride is his most favorite thing). If the engine is running he's in "attack mode" for walkers, joggers, bicycle or motorcycle riders, and dogs in other cars. As soon as the car is parked he's alert but peaceful. Start the engine again and there he goes.
