Share some strange behaviors about your pet / animal friend.
I live with 2 dog buddies and they both have some quirks of course.:agree:
The Lopsa opsa loves the smell of fabric softeners, clothes drying and will lick all the hand lotion off your hands if you give her the chance. I never had a dog that likes that kind of thing.
The little one, a Shitzu - of course always trying to act bigger and tougher then she really is - also loves to stick her ball under the recliners and then sit there growing at you until you crawl under the chair for her and get it out. This obviously stems from getting the attention, but I often wonder how this habit ever started?
Most interesting I think I ever encountered was a big Lab / Rottweiler mix(normally considered a "bird dog") would lett my Cockatiel walk on it's back. My bird for some reason loved this as so the Rottweiler did too. Otis (the bird) would walk all around Teka's (dog) back trying to talk (coming close to saying "ello eeka"), whistling and chirping and Teka would get the look of "happy dog" with a little foot twitch once and awhile. The bird would call her into my room sometimes and the dog would always guard my door / bird when anyone new came around - and this is no joke, she was seroious and I would bring my bird to the new person (even if the person had been over just not since the new bird arrived) and have them show Teka they were nice to Otis. Most strange was the dog was 6 years old when they met and always chased off bids in the yard and on walks. I don't think Teka thought of Otis as a bird. They were buddies.
Anyway, there are three from me, do you have any "weirdness" you want to share about your pet?
