Capt Noonie's Strange Behavioural Quirks

[capt_noonie]

What hilarious furbutts we have, huh? Uni does so many funny wierd things. She has way too much attitude.

I HAVE to put ice cubes in her FILTERED water. If it's super hot and there's only one in there, she looks at me like, what? only one?! If I don't put any, she's like, What, no ice?!

When it's feeding time, and after I offer her some and she doesn't want to eat it, I pretend I drop it on the ground and say "You dropped one!" and she'll eat it, and eat the rest.

When she pees she turns counter clockwise, but when she does her "chase your tail" trick she turn clockwise.

She waits for "Uncle" to come home (my BIL) and when she hears a noise outside she will growl. Most of the time she is sitting on a stool next to me on the computer. If she growls, I will turn to stool so she is facing the other way, but she will just turn and walk around to face the door again. I keep turning, and she keeps walking, so it's a little stool treadmill.

She LOVES chewing on necklaces. IDK why??

She sneaks in my purses when she thinks I am leaving without her.

Everytime I leave my shop to do an errand (my bf is still there with Uni) and I come back and pull into my parking spot, she pops her head out the door's glass to watch me come back.

Everytime I come back from said errands with bags, she puts her big nose in there expecting everything in there is for her!

That's all I can think of now. How about your furbutts? What funny and unique quirks do they have? Please share!

[capt_noonie]

Ok, no one wants to share their furbutt's quirks???

My Morkie Belle does strange things quite often. She does what I found out are called zoomies. They just come from no where. All of a sudden she's off with no warning we just have to be alert to get out of the way.
Our other furbaby is our Lab/Springer mix who is 11 years old. When we brought Belle home for about 2 days he was like "what did I do to deserve this?" Belle adopted him immediately, or mainly his tail! She follows him everywhere so that when he sits or lays down, she can lay on his bail. She won't chew on her chewie things unless she can be on his tail. TJ (lLab) loves to just keep getting up and moving just to irritate her. Lately Belle has decided that our couch pillows should have no stuffing in them! Nothing makes her happy than to be surrounded by an ocean of pillow stuffing. Belle also likes to sleep on her back by me on the couch but her head has to be hanging over the edge of the couch. She surprises us almost daily with the strange things she does. Usually they are something she is going to get in trouble for but I guess she feels it's worth it.

Awww lil Uni she has such the personality!! I knew that when I met her

Hmmm lets see what Pnut does..

He will strech even if he just got up..

He likes to come up on me or DH and stretch and he will put his feet on your face...

When he wants under the blankets he will use his paw to scratch my eye.. yeah it hurts too!! I will usually get poked in the eye with his nail or he will scratch a hole in my head lol and if I ignore him he will do it harder!

When I go to give him a treat and he hears his treat jar opening he wont come to me to get his treat he will jump on the couch and wait for me to bring it to him! lol Brat!!

If I go somewhre and pnut cant come , when I leave he will jump on the couch and watch me leave from the window.

In the morning when we wake up he will run around the house, run to me and to the slider door until I open the slider so he can go lay in the morning sun.

He will walk around the house when he wants to bury his favorite bone toy... and he will whine when he cant find the spot. If he is buring it and he thinks it isnt good enough he will stop and walk away, and go look for another one, he will do that until he thinks he found the right spot!


Thats about all I have

LOL!! Oh Uni, you're so funny.

Hmm... Jackson's got a few quirks himself. He WILL NOT eat any potatoe prodcuts. It's the oddest thing. There could be 1917711 potato chips laying on the floor, won't touch one. There could be a gigantic monster sized french fry bin from McDonald's on the floor -- won't touch ONE.single.fry. Ha, not that that is a BAD thing.. I'd prefer him not to eat chips and fries but I've never seen a dog not want them.

When it's time for Sophie to go outside to poo she will go out to the edge or back of the yard or on the other side of the air conditioner unit, tree or bush so I can't see her doing "it". If I walk up to her while she is doing her business she gives me a "look" and then find another hidden spot and watches me to make sure I'm not looking at her. She demands her privacy ! Then she runs up to the door at 100 mph!

Uni sounds like a real charater. I bet she is so much fun to be around!!

[diane boden]

When I let them out in the morning to go do their toilet Rosie has to have a stetch. But she has to do it against the wall, she'll literally climb up the wall until shes at full stretch. She also moans when shes ' making her bed' before lying down to sleep. Alfie has to empty the entire draw even though he only wants his favourite toy out.

Uni does this too! LOL She makes these cutey baby noises too when she stretches.

Thanks for sharing!

[capt_noonie]

Super cute stories! Keep em coming!

[capt_noonie]

No more? Ok I will give some more

Uni plays fetch with herself. With a ball, she will sit atop the couch and drop the ball and have it roll under a chair or something, and she will crawl all the way under it to retrieve it. With a bully she will throw it and toss it in the air, and be sooo proud of herself then go and get it.

Aww! I always see all these beautiful pictures of everyone's pup, but it's quite another thing to be able to picture their quirks. Love it!

Let's see ... I don't know how many I can think of off the top of my head ...

I almost named Addie Patton because she does the "army crawl." She'll stretch her front paws out in front of her with her belly on the ground and use her front paws to pull herself along the carpet. She doesn't do it for long, and she doesn't get very far, though.

At around 10pm, Addie will start making noises and stare at me. She knows it's walking time. If I continue to ignore her, she will sit on my lap and stretch her paws up to my chest.

If Addie wants something, and she feels I'm not understanding her awesome communication skills, she will climb above me (like on the top of the couch) and scratch furiously at my head. That one actually kind of hurts.

If you carry a towel, be sure it's not dragging anywhere near her level or it becomes her new toy.

Don't wear long dresses. That also becomes her toy, and she'll try and rip it right off of you.

She loves to lick feet. No one is allowed to wear shoes in the house, so there are plenty of opportunities for her.

If you wear slippers, she's going to attack them. Her thoughts: TOY!

She loves sniffing, greeting and chasing dogs but hates it when the dogs greet/chase her. You should have seen her when my nephew's slightly-larger yorkie "power-walked" after her. Both refused to run, so it was just a power-walking train all around the house with Addie leading the way.

She's afraid of trash cans (the ones you leave outside your house).

She hates it when mom reads the newspaper. Every time, she will jump onto mom's lap and sit herself right on the newspaper. That'll teach mom to read.

No one else wants to share their pups quirks???

I left Mia for 3 weeks, and now she is being a brat.
She was very well cared for, but now whenever I sit down she pops up next to me with her ball and growls at me until I play with her.
In the morning I take her out of her crate for cuddle time in bed with me for a bit. I always hope she will go back to sleep, so I give her a chew, and she will only chew it if her butt is pushing up against me. Ummm no thank you!! But 30 minutes more sleep is worth a butt on my arm, leg, shoulder etc...
When I say come on lets go to bed, she runs to the front door....this is a new one..my hubbie would take her pee out front while I was gone, before she would go to bed. (Scares me to death, cause of the coyotes in the hills) Carefully I will let her go in our enclosed court yard...
If anyone in the family goes to the fridge icemaker in the door, that is her cue to run to the fridge and bark until they give her an ice cube.
She does the shopping bag thing too. Thinking if I bring anything home, it must be something for her.
If I am taking a bath she runs to get her ball, and drops it in the tub, bath time is not time for me to rest, but time for her to play ball. The best part of this last one is when we have guests!! If they use the bathroom downstairs the door does not always close all the way. If she hears the bath water running, she does not care who it is...she will shove into the bathroom and drop the ball in !! When my son was over, he was surprised, and happy to play with her! *he's a good sport!
When I take her to my girlfriends house, who has yorkies, she walks in like she owns the place. She thinks she is alpha wherever she goes. She goes to their giant toy basket, and will pull every toy out of the basket and cover the living room floor with each and every one. She is looking for the loudest, most annoying rubber toy ! When she finds it she will squeak it until our eardrums bleed......Then she is happy, and will sit on my lap.
