 Emma and Milli's Quirks
What a fun thread!
When Emma is tired, she'll get on the couch or bed to curl up, and make these little whining noises as if to say "Ohhhhh I'm so tired..." Emma has to be touching either myself or my husband when we're sleeping. She won't sleep otherwise. Emma only likes balled up blankets. If there is a folded blanket on the couch, she'll mess it up first and then sleep in it. She plays with 2 toys at once frequently-she'll hold a ball under her while chewing on a nylabone, for example. If you try to take one away, she sometimes growls!
Emma will NOT let Milli on the bed in the morning until after my alarm has gone off once. If we put Milli up there, she will growl and push her off. (We have a platform bed, so at least it's a short fall!) She HAS to have the first treat when training or rewarding. Milli can have the 2nd or 3rd, but not the first.
Milli will run the other way if you tell her to "come" and reach for her. She also WILL NOT eat her food, unless it's got some water on it-a drop or a few tablespoons, it doesn't matter, but she refuses to eat it dry. She also has the FUNNIEST jump off the sofa. Rather than jumping head/front legs first and getting down at an angle, she jumps OUT and UP, making an arc off the couch to get to the ground. She lands on all fours! It's as if she says, "bombs away!" and just goes for it! My husband and I were getting hysterical earlier watching her do it! |
