Rituals
 

Mika is so funny. She has these little things about her that she must do these same things in the same order at the same time everyday. One of them is she eats half her food, then she comes to get her mommie to stir it up mid-way the meal, then she will eat the rest.

The one that cracks me up is at 8:00 PM on the dot she notices her reflection in the glass fireplace screen, and then occurs the nightly barking at what we call "the fireplace yorkie". This goes on for a few minutes and then it is toss my toy time, followed by snuggle love love time.

She's so predictable it's hilarious.

Does your yorkie have any predictable "quirks"?

Well, if can say sitting in a chair all day, than I guess you could say Jasmine does. At night, while we are watching our regular TV Sasha has tohave you throw her toys. Then, before she eats her food she has to fling it across the room and then eat it one by one. It is so funny! She does it every time almost!

The food flinging, that is hilarious.

Sunshine has to carry around a big blue stuffed donut before she gets a treat. If we say who wants treats, she races around the house until she finds her donut and carries it around until the first treat is given. Sunnie has a teddy bear that he has slept with (in his mouth) every night since I got him. NO ONE is allowed to touch his teddy bear.

When I come home in the evening the first thing Lucy does when I let her out (after going insane over me) is go round up the cats. She has to find both of them and has to cover them with kisses. Then she will stand by the bed and growl until I put her on the bed where she lays flat out for her belly rub. If I break the routine in any way (by God forbid, going to the bathroom first) she runs in circles around the bed until I put her up for her belly rub :) I'ts our favorite time of day!

See now that's my very point. Dogs THAT smart that can plan and plot like that dang well know to go to the bathroom OUTSIDE NOT INDOORS:mad:

Hilarious

:eek: Toto is the most ritualistic little creature I have ever seen! We can tell the time of day by her actions. If we aren't right on time for one of hers, she sits in front of us and reminds us. :) Her funniest, most amazing one is her nightly after dinner chicken strip. We look at her and say "will you dance" and she flies to our bedroom, up her stairs and starts dancing like crazy ... little front legs and back legs flying!! She dances a while and has added little quick spins. We cheer and clap and are yelling "good girl" and she flies back down her steps and heads toward the kitchen. She stops at the kitchen door, does 3-4 quick little spins with us clapping and cheering. She then runs and sits pretty at the cabinet while one of us gets her a chicken strip. She grabs it, goes flying back to the bedroom, up the stairs and holds it between her little paws and gnaws to her little hearts' content on our bed! When that's finished, she goes back to the kitchen, has a looong drink of water, makes a poop on her pad and comes back into the living room to sit with us and snuggle!! Sorry this is so long ... but it's screaming funny!! :p

Here's one of Mika's new ones. I get home before her Mommie does, and we are in the den having a wonderful time. When her Mommie pops the garage door she makes a mad dash for her bed and stays there until Amber comes in. Amber must go to Mika's bed to greet HER, Mika comes to no one.

Oh yes, the belly rub time. As soon as I get off work I feed all the furbutts and after reminding them multiple times to stop playing and go back and eat, Tucker and Lexie wait at the top of the stairs while I take Jordan out to go potty and when we get back they all run up and down the hallway a good hundred times. After the initial energy is spent Lexie hops up on the couch and lays spread eagled (she's such a lady) to get her belly rub. Tucker doesn't do the belly rub thing, he HATES to be on his back. So he runs around like a mad man until Lexie comes back to play with him. Then we'll watch Law and Order SVU and I kid you not, Tucker always barks when the bad guy comes on. He always knows even before I do. It's really taken the mystery out of the show :rolleyes: My hubby didn't believe me until I made him sit down and watch an episode and Tucker did his thing. Hubby's a believer now! Anyone else have a strange story like this?

I can picture Toto perfectly! Lucy also has a routine with her after dinner "Chickie Stick" as we call it :)

Great thread, I love reading everyone's rituals :)

Ok this one takes the cake....Tucker..private eye

I believe every word!!!!!!!!!!
