Ok I gotta join in, I was really struggling with my mood this morning but this thread has picked me right up!
Willie burps a lot, little high pitched ones, but BOY are they loud! It's funny as anything! He farts too. Mostly they're silent but violent, but very occasionally a noisy one will slip out, a quick loud toot, and as soon as that happens, he acts all shocked, and immediately puts his nose around to his butt to find out where the sound has come from! He likes to lick his bits a lot too. He's fine and healthy, he just really favours doing this... He also does what I call the beard drying ritual, where right after a bath he will get down on the floor and rol around and dry his beard on the carpet. He can do this for up to half an hour sometimes. He's VERY fussy about his beard, but it's funny as anything! The bugs thing, yes, he'll eat almost anything. I had a wood louse on my floor the other day though, and that just happened to be the one day he didn't feel like getting his extra protein! Typical! I let out a fearful yelp and he does nothing! but usually he's sucking up the bugs like some kind of hairy hoover. He's good with daddy long legs especially. Poop. He will eat any poop. He used to try and eat the cat's poop right out of the box, but now he's used to the cat being around, he doesn't do it anymore. Thankfully. Also, now the cat has a poop house so it's all enclosed away. He doesn't raid the bathroom bin thankfully, but it has a lid on it, it's a pedal bin. He has actually sniffed the cat's butt a lot, and occasionally licked it. But I have to say, the bird poop habit is the worst. I stop him getting to it most of the time, but sometimes he's just too fast for me. The last time he managed to get in there and eat it, he ate the whole lot, licked the ground clean, and the end result was a very unhappy yorkie a few hours later. A sound hurtled through the house like a buzzsaw going through a watermelon, I ran downstairs, and there was Willie, sat on my couch, hunched over, shaking, ears down, and a MASSIVE pool of diarrhoea by my front door. Thank god I had laminate flooring down at the time!
So yeah. He certainly isn't prissy, never will be! You'd NEVER guess this scruffy, disgusting creature came from champion stock! But I love him. And now I must give him the walk I promised five minutes ago, because he's sulking by my feet! :P |
