This is a good thread, I am convinced all 3 of mine are a little OCD LOL
Baxter: Cannot stand CLOSED DOORS (if someone is on the other side). If a door is closed, he will bark, whine, jump and spin in circles, and carry on like a bucking bronco until the door is opened and he is allowed to investigate who is inside and what they are doing.
He also cannot stand his little brother trying to push past Darcy to get out the doggie door first. They both got "in trouble" from Hubby for jumping or walking over her to get out the door first (she moves slow), and Baxter has not forgotten. He runs beside Cooper and barks in his face when it is time to go outside, as if to say "hey, let sister go first!"
He also hates trash bags. When we "flap" one before we put it in the can, he takes of running, If we pull one out and sit it on the floor, filling it up before we take it outside...he will NOT come in the kitchen. He will walk to the door, cry, and walk back, over and over, until we take it out!
Cooper: Hates not being the center of attention. He has been known to run to the door and bark when I am having a cuddling session with Baxter or Darcy, so they wriggle to get down so they an investigate, then he runs back and jumps on Mom's lap!
He also does not like birds, or falling leaves in his yard. He can spend a day barking and chasing after both!
Darcy Hates the vacuum cleaner, and steam cleaner. She walks beside it, barking the whole time, and sometimes tries to bite the wheels.
Goes berserk when she sees a big dog, (think lab or golden), she barks her head off at it, and then runs up to it, as if to "charge". Of course, they stop and look at her like she has lost her mind, and keep walking. She has gets so worked up she has went in to a seizure over this..so we limit her "front yard" time.
Cannot stand anyone hugging or kissing her Daddy, she will bark the entire time! |
