Karma takes forever to poop. She assumes the position and stays like that forEVER. She isn't straining or having problems. She just stays like a statue. One time I suggested to my husband that we get her a magasine, and he said, "Get her a copy of Moby Dick." One thing is for sure. We'd better keep her hip joints healthy if she's going to continue to do that.
Well my little Cheeky is a true American dog, even though he has been an illegal alien dog here in Canada ever since we brought him here from where we found him in Alabama.
Thr weird thing he does is when we watch a hockey game together and we are playing some American team, Cheeky puts his little paw over his heart when they sing the Star Spangled Banner.
I don't know if this is weird, it might just be a breed thing. You tell me! Karma is fast -- really really fast. She streaks out after a ball and on her way back, she does a funny trot that serpentines back and forth, around in circles, back and forth, and she plods along in a kind of thud-a-dunk-thud-a-dunk way that makes us LOL. If she runs 200-ft to retrieve a ball, she takes about 1000 feet on her way back to us, until we call her, and then she comes in a straight line.
She is definitely a shepherd mix, most likely with lab, maybe a bit of some sort of collie.
Oh, my big dogs like to sit on furniture.
We don't like that.
Well, recently, a friend of ours gave us a little stuffed animal wolf (as a joke about something we saw in Sedona).
We noticed over time that the dogs didn't sit on the furniture the wolf was on.
It occurred to us they thought maybe that was another dog already sitting there.
They never sit on the same furniture together. Pillows and other stuffed animals don't bother them. But another dog = no no on the chair/couch.
To this day (2 years later), they won't sit on any chair the stuffed wolf is on.
Lily is well-trained regarding no begging at the table during our dinner. She very politely lays by our feet at every meal.
Recently, hub was out of town, so I decided to eat my dinner in the family room in front of the TV. My dinner plate was on the coffee table (much lower than a dining room table of course). I heard Lily scratching at the back door and barking, her signal that it's potty time. I got up to let her out, and when I got to the back door, she ran away as fast as she could. She zoomed right to that coffee table and snatched an entire piece of my pork roast off my plate! Her "potty plea" was a complete ploy to get me to leave my plate unattended!!! I thought that was rather clever on her part, although of course completely naughty!!! Such a Stinker-Dog!
Cookie, my almost 9-year-old "chikengese", has always loved peanut butter in her Kong. As she's gotten up there in age, she doesn't like to bother with manipulating the Kong anymore. She will sit and stare at the Kong, then stare at me, back and forth. She'll only go for it when I hold the Kong for her, like an ice cream cone. Yep, she's the spoiled one.
