What's your Yorkie's strange habits? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

teffiemoore · 03-19-2006, 08:07 PM

This is funny that so many of these babies have the same fetishes. We've had other breeds of dogs and they've never done things like Dori and Yogi, Yogi; brings a mouth full of kibbles to the carpet in the living room and drops them all and then eats one at a time. He licks the lotion off of my legs and feet after I bathe. He burries treats under blankets and pillows and then acts like he has invisible dirt and covers them up. If a stranger enters the room, he comes and sits on my feet facing the person until they leave. When ever I come home or my hubby comes home he gets so excited he brings he rear end around to his face and dances in a circle and wags all at the same time about 10 times. They both follow me everywhere in the house and lay by the bathroom door and whine until I come out. Dori does the biting your ankles, only if your walking too fast. She digs in her bedding or my bed about 20 times before she settles down to sleep. They are both very comical.

oh, i have one more i can add ... it's just sad and funny at the same time. whenever my brother is mean to bunjee and plays tricks on him, or when hubby is mad at bunjee and scolds him, bunjee'll go to the nearest corner and look at the corner with his head bowed and back turned towards hubby or brother every once in a while to see if they've lightened up. but he won't leave the corner until someone starts to comfort him out of the corner. it's as if bunjee's giving himself a time-out in the corner. he looks so sad... but it's so funny at the same time.

Dennis goes wild every time I get undressed, pulling on the bottoms of my pant legs and trying to grab my socks and underwear, then chasing me naked into the shower biting at the backs of my feet. It is no easier to get dressed, must be a male thing!

He is also quite the little giggler when I attack his little belly at playtime. He always reminds me of how infants react to being tickled.

Deegan's mom · 03-20-2006, 05:29 AM

1. He also licks my legs after I get out of the shower.
2. He thinks that all socks are for his amusement.
3. He lets out a big burp after eating his meals!
4. He always licks your cuts, scrapes or wounds if you have any.

But I love every minute of it all with him!!

Madvelazquez · 03-20-2006, 06:32 AM

Dezi
1. Licks my legs when I get out of the shower
2. Hides in the Hamper
3. Graps her food tray after she is done and runs with it. She nevers eats all her food so we have kibbles all around the kitchen. Then she eats them one by one.

AmyLeeWannabe · 03-20-2006, 10:04 AM

I've thought of more!

Molly is very stubborn, she will only 'pick' at her food and will stare at you until you feed it to her.
She knows when she's doing wrong and when you catch her and give a "Ah-A!" she will just bolt up immediately and sit there, bending her head slightly, putting on her innocent face as if to say "Me? I wasn't doing anything.."
Whenever I feed Bailey, my guinea pig, she jumps up at the cage as if to tell me that she's also hungry. She also likes to kiss Bailey.
Molly also licks up your nose. Its gross.
She will NOT attempt to go down the stairs once she's ran up them. She barks, cries, growls and scratches at the carpet until you pick her up and bring her down.

She's too spoilt! :P

ARCHIE · 05-05-2006, 11:11 AM

All your pups are so funny. Actually our Yorkies seem to have the same traits.
Buddy loves going into the bathtub when I get out. He has tried, and successfully once got in with me! Also, I can leave nothing laying around. Sock, nightgown, shirt etc anywhere or he will get it and run under a blue chair in the living room with it. If I don't come after him he will come looking for me to scold him. He rats on himself. When the phone rings he runs around like a crazy dog barking and does laps around the house. He is so funny I can't even repremand him. He also slaps his placemat on the floor continuely when I fix his meals because he becomes impatient? Who's the boss in my house?

lilannie · 05-05-2006, 11:22 AM

We have a no whistling rule in the house (respect for others), So when Bailey came along I thought it was ironic that, anytime someone whistles, He jumps right up to your face and sticks his tongue between your lips until you stop.
He also does some kind of dance after he does pee pee outside, like jums straight up into the air, with his ears back.

Bridget's Mommy · 05-05-2006, 11:26 AM

Bridget has too many antics to list.. she's got a lot of personality that's for sure! One thing that always cracks me up: She gets totally freaked out by the gekko in those Geico commercials. When they come on she'll bark at the TV a couple times for good measure and then will run and hide till it's over. It's happened a gazllion times and I still laugh every time!

chestermama · 05-08-2006, 01:07 AM

Chester is a licker up my nose, mouth and even my ears. He likes catnip he has several catnip toys. He hunps only 2 toys a stuffed bear and does while on his back next to me in bed. He trys to lick the lotion off my legs after Im out of the shower. He is always under the covers 90% of the time, I have to pat down the bed before I get in, He is my lover boy, I adore him so much.....

Dougal&Little · 05-08-2006, 01:29 AM

My babies do some of those things. But my favourite weird thing is Dixie's habit of "being a bull" when she's frustrated (or generally crabby). She'll stand still and do her funny wee "grrr" while kicking her back legs out behind her, one after the other. sometimes she does it so quickly her legs blur.

bosslady · 05-08-2006, 08:20 AM

Isn't it funny how they all so so many things alike. Jasmine also licks my legs after a shower and likes to lick my toes anytime.

She also will bring her food one bite at a time into the family room to eat it. She tries to bury it and will dig with her nose. She does the little digging thing to make her "nest" at night. She will bark when she wants something and get down on her front feet and ber butt up in the air. She walks on her back legs all the time and rubs her front paws together.

She always gets up with me when I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Never hubby.

She can't stand it if I shut the door to the room I'm in.

Sometimes, I swear, when she wants me to do something she will bark and it looks like she is stomping her little front feet at me. Like Pay attention and do what I say. She is so spoiled.

She always smells our breath to see what we have been eating.
