Twinkle does this too! It's so funny to watch. She'll also hide toys in her bed so that Wicket can't play with them.....she doesn't want to play with it - but she doesn't want him to play with it either!

Uni sounds like such a character....I bet there's never a dull moment round your place! xxx

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. Soooo cute!!!!
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.

Very cute stories, thanks for sharing!

Um let me think!!!
Kiki loves to watch me clean. She will follow me around and stares as if she is taking notes or maybe she is making sure I don't miss a spot. When I mop she has a stool that she sits on and her little head is going back in fourth .
Kiki also loves ice in her water bowl too and she loves to just crunch them.
When she wants her tummy rubbed she will climb on your chest and roll on her back.
She loves to be held and rocked like a baby.
If she thinks I'm going any where she will try to climb in my purse and whine so that I feel sorry for her, she will sound so pitiful.
She looooooves to sleep on the kitchen table .
Oh yeah
She loves to bring her toys into my bedroom to play with . Her favorite thing is when I pick her toys up and put them in her basket she will go behind me and one by one in bring them right back out. Then look at me as to say I won!!

I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WITH HARLEY STANDING ON MY CHEST STARING AT ME TO GO OUT. (ADDED BY ALOT OF KISSES)


IF HE WANTS TO PLAY AND WE TRY TO IGNORE HIM HE WILL HAVE NONE OF IT, HE BARKS, GROWLS AND TRIES TO PLACE THE TOY IN YOUR HAND TO PLAY.

WHEN ANYONE TAKES OUR PUG OUTSIDE OR FEEDS HER HE BARKS CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL SHE IS OUTSIDE.

EVERYTIME MY SON OR HUSBAND COMES INTO THE ROOM HE MAKES NOISES AT THEM LIKE HE IS TRYING TO TALK TO THEM.

WHEN I AM ON THE COMPUTER AT NIGHT AND HE WANTS TO GO TO BED, HE WILL CLIMB ON THE BACK OF THE CHAIR, STRETCH HIS HEAD OVER AND REST IT ON MY SHOULDER, HE USUALLY FALLS ASLEEP.

HE ALSO KNOWS WHEN WE ARE GETTING READY TO LEAVE AND HE CANNOT GO WITH US, HE WATCHES ME DO MY HAIR, DRESS, AND PUT MY SHOES ON, HE AVOOIDS THE BATHROOM AND GOES AND HIDES BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE WILL BE LEFT IN THE BATHROOM WHEN WE LEAVE

PROUD MOMMY OF HARLEY

Oh yea, i forgot about this one. When there is a crazy or annoying person in the store, she won't come out and greet them. Sometimes she will actually hide and not move so they won't hear her collar so they can't play with her.

Belle is really smart when it comes to her toys. If I take one out of her toy box to repair (nothing around Belle goes without some injury) She runs and sits beside where I sew and waits for me to finish. Then proceeds to take the toy and find the threads I put in and removes them. She use to have a big box of stuffed animals but is down to about three. I think she is trying to remove the squeekers and she also loves stuffing.

Belle is potty trained on pee pads as we live in Minnesota and it gets to cold for her or heaven forbid rains. She has 2 pads, one for peeing on and the other for pooping. She also has to make sure I see what she did as she gets a potty treat. If I ignore her she drags the pad out to show me. Really nice when company is there. Now she has noticed that I put her little piles in the toilet so as soon as she is done she runs and stands up and stretches so she can see in the potty and waits for me to flush then barks and runs in circles so proud. Just glad her 90 pound lab brother goes outside.

My husband teases that Belle is the only dog that goes for a walk in the afternoon and then has to go home so she can go potty in the house!

Hahahaha!!! Such a cute story!!! yes before Uni did not know how to go outside, she would go for a walk then come back home to pee!

At our old house, once we got home, she would pee downstairs, then run upstairs to go poop!

Loved your stories, thanks for sharing!!!

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?! Spoiled?

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. Ha!

When she pees she turns counter clockwise, but when she does her "chase your tail" trick she turn clockwise. Hopefully she won't ever pee while performing her trick!

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. LMAO! Put this on U Tube!

She LOVES chewing on necklaces. IDK why?? Possible mineral deficiency?

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. She loves you alot!

Everytime I come back from said errands with bags, she puts her big nose in there expecting everything in there is for her! Who else could you possibly be shopping for?

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

The bag thing is hysterical! I have 3 Yorkies and 3 cats. When I come in with bags, it's like musical chairs (bags) with the 6 of them!

Tinkerbell barks. Alot. Recently, in an effort to curb this behavior, I started talking to her to find out what she wants. I'll ask "Do you want to go out?" She speeds off to the front door. If no, she cocks her head. I ask "do you want a treat?" She runs into the kitchen and sits near the treat jar. Etc. It's actually working!

She barks at thunder, lightning, and airplanes, and the wake off the boat and the kayak.

All the toys and beds are hers. She will occasionally go around the house and collect them all and bring them into the living room.

Peek a Boo runs and hides if I say a four letter word, or something that sounds like one. He won't come unless you say "here Kitty kitty" or 'treat'.
He likes to sleep on or in plastic bags (almost gave him to Good Will).

[yorkie mad]

Well let me see , Ill have to narrow it down to 3.

Kisses and cuddles keep coming all day long EXCEPT when Im going to work, shes walks to her bed I bend to her and say "give mummy a kiss" and she will turn her head away! Little madame lol
If she catches me looking out the window she will tap my legs , yes tap not claw ,to be picked up so she can watch the world go by. I'm sure shes a cat in disguise ,and she would sit on the window sill all day if I'd let her.
The quirk I love the best though is when I go to throw her ball and she spins in circles at the excitement of it, Oh how easily pleased they are lol

[Fairzyorkie]

I am so glad I found this discussion!
Mr. Fuzzy has flung every stuffed animal until all of the stuffing is gone. And now he drags these "lifeless" animals around the house like a proud hunter.

He doesn't just eat his treat, he plays with it. He will toss it up in the air, growl at it then run away from it. If I take the treat and place it near him, he will jump over my hand and run in the opposite direction. He has also "buried" the treat on/under my sheets! Which leads me to his next quirk - He "buries" things in plain sight! He will place whatever he wants to bury on the floor, chair, our beds then nudges imaginary dirt over it

He licks the water off of our feet and legs when we get out of the shower.

And the number one quirk (and please help me out if anyone has encountered this one) he will place his neck over my mouth and just lay there. If I try to talk he'll lick me then place his neck back. If I place my neck over his back, he will then fuss until he puts his neck on my mouth. Is he trying to show he's Alpha dog? Should I stop him from doing this? I think it's pretty funny!

Skeeter is STILL a finger sucker. I can get him to drop a treat if I hold up my finger. I swear it hypnotizes him!

Adie likes to lay on my side when I am laying on the couch but sometimes she likes to cuddle up to my neck. When SHE decides it is time to switch spots she will stand and just stare at the spot. I have to either move my hand so she can get down in front of me or move further back on the couch so she can lean up against the back. She doesn't make a sound and never takes her eyes off of "the spot"And of course she is obsessed with one ball and one ball only.

Oh yes, Skeeter thinks there is another yorkie living under our TV. We have smoked glass cabinet and he will catch his reflection every now and then so he knows he saw a dog a minute ago! He will go over there and crane his little neck this way and that trying to find the other!

[rwprivette]

Awwww Uni (: This sure made me smile while I'm missing my Tyler! Give me a bit to think of Tyler's quirks I'm multi-tasking atm~!
