Dogs are weird

[Mud Flaps]

My dog is primarily an indoor dog. She loves going outdoors, but because she eats rabbit poo we can't let her out all that often. But every now and again we let her run around in the backyard. Now she does a peculiar thing when she gets this opportunity, whereupon she sniffs vigorously around in the grass, then stands still for a moment and then plunges into the grass and starts rolling around in all manners of weird ways. After that she gets up jumps to another spot in the grass and does it again. I have no clue why she does this, but it's a funny thing to watch.

The eating rabbit poo thing is probably caused by a minor nutrition problem. Ask your vet.

My 1.75 year old black lab Zoey likes to run parallel to my car as I leave in the morning. She waits at the corner of the yard for me to start and jumps like rabbit and barks like crazy. Meanwhile, my .75 year old yellow lab Franny likes to bite Zoey's legs and tail while Zoey is trying to chase me.

Franny also likes to jump over the doggie gate, which is about 3.5 feet high.

Franny also likes to jump in the very, very small fish pond and swim from one side to the other.

They bark when I try to tune my bass or g***** with harmonics. They're nuts.

The last two times we've taken Roxie the Boxer out to our land she's gone out and rolled in the nastiest pile of green cow turds that she can find. Also, both times she's done this she's come back and my dad has gone to pet her and put his hand right in it. You usually can't see it immediately because she get's it on her chest and under her neck.

That sounds like a boxer all right! Ours enjoys a good roll in a pile of turds, or possibly a nice rabbit carcass (which turns the white parts of his fur a nice green colour). Basically, anything that smells unholy.

He also loves chocolate - you know how dogs aren't supposed to eat normal chocolate as it contains something poisonous to them? Well that doesn't bother his stomach of steel! he has eaten Easter eggs and ripped open then devoured big boxes of chocolate all wrapped in Christmas paper. The smell must have been driving him crazy.

I wasn't too pleased when I came downstairs THAT christmas morning, I can tell you.

Dogs - gotta love em! (especially boxers!)

I have a 1/2 boxer 1/2 pitbull that is not the brightest dog in the world. Everythme I through a toy for him, he'll run full bore and head first into the door. How he doesn't knock himself unconscious is beyond me. He's also the biggest bed hog in the world. He steals all the blankets when he climbs between the me & my wife. I swear he thinks he's a lap dog.

He's my boy and I wouldn't get rid of him for the world.

Why this is fun, I can't begin to guess, but he really really likes to have a golf ball in his mouth. Priority #2, immediately following food.

This is kind of off-topic, but my friend has a cat who plays fetch. He has a fetish for the little plastic rings from the lids of milk jugs. He'll bring them to you, drop them at your feet, and then you can throw it and he'll bring it back. Anyone else ever seen a cat do this?

I took my dog swimming today, and he pooped in the river. He was smart enough to position himself so it floated off downstream. I thought it was sort of odd.

Sounds like you have a smart dog.

On the subject of dogs that think they're lap dogs but aren't, my friend has a 150-160lb rottweiler that thinks it's fun to jump up on you when you are sitting on a bench. Another time I was over there, we ordered pizza, and this dog being an outdoor dog apparently scared the pizza guy so bad he called the house asking for us to come out and get the pizza =p

He's pretty bright as far as dogs go. I always joke that he has a "rear brain" like a dinosaur, due to his size.
