These are all too funny!
Gwen is obsessed w/ socks, dirty socks preferably, I think she goes laundry hampster diving b/c she always has a sock even when no one has left socks lying around.
If you toss anything into the hampster she RACES over to see what you put in it.
She crawls up on my desk when I hold her in my lap and lays down on the mouse like it is a pillow.
She also does the digging at bedtime (but only at bedtime in the bed)...she can't move my comforter so I put a big fleecy fluffy blanket on the bed for her to "nest" in, when she gets it how she likes it she lays in it for like 15 minutes then comes over and lays next to me or my husband.
She refuses to sleep under the covers, but she attacks my other little dog who does sleep there, she stands on him and pounces up and down and bites him through the comforter.
I'm certain she'll do other crazy things too, seeing as how she does all this and is only 16 weeks old lol!

Bella doesn't so much "buck" as sort of scratch with her back legs, flicking them backwards. It started out as something she would do if she had a dingle, but now, she does it when there's something, anything really, she doesn't like, or sometimes it seems like she just does it when she's really excited. If I spray my perfume and she walks into to the room, she makes a kind of growly whine noise (I don't know how to describe it because it's neither really??) and starts flinging her legs back scratching carpet as she goes!! It's the funniest, most adorable thing!!

She also does the "wiping the scent of the kill", or whatever that is, off all over the carpet, etc... after she eats. And of course freshly after a bath, she has to scoot her whole body all over the house, wallering around!!

The funniest thing she does is talk back.....shame, shame! If I say "No" or "Ouch", she will make that growly whine noise (it isn't a growl at all, but I don't know how to describe it!!) or bark. I have to say, "We don't talk back" and "No maam" a couple of times before she gives up, but she REEEEAAALLLY hates "ouch!" That one really gets her worked up! It's like she's arguing with you that it really didn't hurt that bad, not enough to stop playing with me!! Soooo cute! (I'm probably bad for doing this, but we "talk" back and forth several times until we reach a compromise

....I don't want to stifle her!! She's just telling me what she thinks after all!!

It's HILARIOUS and maybe thats just a diggism and not a trait but i wondered if MAYBE he wasnt the only one. he prolly is.

By any chance, did he see the olympics with you? Sounds like the track and field Triple jump to me!!! He seems to be a natural!!

Omg our yorkies are so funn!!!

Whenever I go into the living room I through Sumo's toys in random places on the floor so I can keep an eye on him as he entertains himself. Lately whenever i scatter his toys he gathers them all up and puts them into a pile on our rug. I guess he is a little clean freak haha

Whenever he gets out of the shower he runs and runs and runs in circles and he loves to burrow and slide in my comforter until he's dry.

He also does the bucking thing but only when he goes poo

Its like he just did some really hard work and thinks Im impressed haha

He loves to dig!!!!!

and everytime im eating a snack he tries to put his whole head in my mouth.

He also does "the parrot sit" on my shoulder.

but only when Im driving.

Maybelline does the exact same thing when she wants to be picked up and I have not figured out why?! Does anybody know?

haha great thread.

Here are some things Lexi does...

When I have something Lexi REALLY wants, she rolls over.

She runs around our backyard full tilt with a toy in her mouth growling.

She picks on Frey (doberman) then runs to Lucy (Golden Retriever) for protection.

When you talk to her, she tilts her head as if to say "huh".

She LOVES to lick inside other dogs mouths and will try to stick her head as far into the mouth as the dog will let her.

Lexi is the same way! I have no socks!

Actually I had a cat that was obsessed with socks too. He even learned how to open drawers.. We came home from vacation once and thought we were robbed because ALL the dresser drawers in the house had be open and the contents were EVERYWHERE.

Oh my!!! Now THAT is obsession! Thank God Gwen is too short to reach our dresser drawers yet!

Lets see, my Dex also digs imaginary dirt over his toys on the couch, the bed, wherever he feels like it.

He also walks around with a bone or food in his mouth and whines nonstop, he does this because he wants to bury it, but my bedroom door is closed so he can't bury it in my bed, thats his favorite place! If I take it away and immediately give it back he'll eat it and move on.

Dex also sleeps under the covers between my legs or my bfs legs all night, every night. I don't kow why!

My fletch is obsessive, if he hears something and you hold him back from checking it out, he does not forget, the second you let him go he will take off to check it out, even if it was a car passing 10 mins ago!

My Dex does the booty scoot all the time.

Fletch has to get the squeaky either broken or out of the toy in under 10 mins of it entering the house.

Fletch talks a lot! He is always jealous of my boyfriend and when him and I get too close fletch gets very vocal and Dexter whines and jumps on our legs. Possessive pups!

They will only go out when at my house if I let them out, they will not go with my boyfriend (this is a new one)

Fletcher watches tv and movies like a person, he perches himself on the arm of the couch and literally stares at the TV for the whole movie sometimes! He goes NUTS for animals on tv and will pace around trying to get behind the tv to see if they are back there! Both go nuts with door bells on tv!

Dexter scratches the carpet with his back legs whenever he wants to either play with Fletch or me to open a door I closed!

Sooo many quirks so little time!

Oh Yah! Both mine do that too! I have to tell people 'hes not walking away from you, he's giving you his butt so you can pick him up" Must be easier on them so they can see outward when you pick them up?

Well Mr. Macho man went walking down that 8 inch walkway to mark on the porch post. Well, since this marking is all fairly new, young Pepper hiked his leg up way too high and over he went right into a puddle. The porch is no higher than a step so he wasn't hurt but he sure had one heck of a surprised look on his face. Especially since his momma couldn't stop laughing.

Thats one of my funniest memories of my boys, learning to hike a leg! HAHA Fletcher literally had his back leg at a 90 degree angle to the ground!!

I remember my mom and I watching him and I was sooo proud he lifted a leg and then laughing hysterically at him because I thought he was going over for sure! LOL

Yes!!! lol Bella runs full tilt round and round the couches in the living room with a toy in her mouth growling the whole time!!! We call it her "crazy dog"

She goes crazy dogging around the living room almost every night just before bed....kind of a last hurrah I guess!
