Tell me something funny about your pet(s).

[bkcc]

The boards were a little angry this morning and I could use a break.

[TNDemo]

1. Mine has a flatulence problem.

She burps in my face too. Is that funny?

[bkcc]

2. LOL

Hilarious. My dog has the same problem and it's hard to fathom that something so small and cute could possibly smell so bad.

[Marnieworld]

3. I have a pug and chihuahua

and they are like Timon and Pumba from the lion king (also with flatulence.)

I also had a parakeet once that would hump a little plastic bird in the cage and sing while doing it. He'd only stop when if he didn't he would fall off his perch. The best part is, is that he talked, so while he was humping he'd say, "hello pretty bird! You're so pretty! You're so cute!" It was all very romantic.

7. I am rolling on the FLOOR in my office trying not make any noise...

That's hilarious! The visual is enough to send me into a giggle fit.

Your parakeet reminds me of the slutty guy from Nip/Tuck. Quite the stud, he was, huh?

[afraid_of_the_dark]

11. Thanks... you made my day!

That is possibly one of the funniest animal stories I've ever heard!

[SoCalDem]

4. Marvin has not figured out how his claws work

At least 3 or 4 times a day, I have to "unhook" him from the rug..:eyes:

He gets this pitiful look on his face, and is splayed out with claws hooked in the rug..

5. My dog Annie sleeps on her back like a human

and she tilts her head all the way to one side and snores really loud. My other dog Duke thinks he's a cat. When he wants to show you some affection he rubs up against you like a cat would, and he never, never, never licks someone on the face. :-)

[SiouxJ]

17. Mine does too! Even puts her head on the pillow

she doesn't snore though ;-) She acts like a cat a lot too. She likes to lay on my chest and sleeps in crazy positions like cats do.

[BlueJazz]

6. Well, I've got a rabbit or should I say "I live with a rabbit".

He's a real character. When he's in a playful mood he'll run around the house at top speed and every time he enters the living room he'll jump about 2 feet in the air..

I usually say: "And now folks, the exciting adventures of Rocket Rabbit!"

In the morning, after I get up, all he wants to do is be held and he turns into a "Love Bun"

He's my first rabbit and frankly, I didn't know rabbits were so cool!

[commander bunnypants]

8. Mo Cat

chases his tail for hours on end. A meows a greeting everytime I walk into the room.

9. Fargo's greeting when we get home....

a GIANT attack, bounding up to us, jumping full throttle onto dad, then bounding full speed up to me, and back and forth for a full 5 minutes or so until he's satisfied that he's greeted us both enthusiastically enough.

With a dog the size of a Shetland pony, this can often be a little overwhelming, especially when he steps on a foot doing it. His feet are almost as big as mine!

I can see what he's thinking:

"DAD!"
Jump on dad
GALLOPGALLOPGALLOP

"MOM!"
Jump on mom
GALLOPGALLOPGALLOP

"DAD!"
Jump on dad
GALLOPGALLOPGALLOP

"MOM!"
Jump on mom
GALLOPGALLOPGALLOP

It's nice to know I can provoke such a reaction from anyone or anything just by walking in a room. Aren't dogs great? I love my Fargles. :loveya:

25. One of my cats does that too

He gets all excited if anyone comes in the front door, and throws himself up onto the back of the couch to demand immediate greetings. He yipes at you if you don't stop whatever you're doing and put down whatever you're carrying and love on him for a bit. It's kind of ridiculous, because he'll do that if you've been gone for thirty seconds to get the mail, too.

He's my Labrador Retriever Cat! :D

[fudge stripe cookays]

29. Your kitties are adorable geni....

meant to tell you a couple weeks ago when I saw them in the gallery!

:-)

[tandot]

10. I tried to teach my dog how to bark on command

as follows:

me: "speak-up" pairing it with "Kitty" (he loves to bark at cats, although his best buddy is my cat)

after every successful bark he got a treat

after several tries, he barked just after I said "speak-up"

Later that evening, after dinner, I carried my plate into the kitchen (he knows that sometimes he gets a small scrap from my food) and he was following me.

He suddenly started to bark like crazy, I turned around, and saw him staring at me and my plate, barking at me.

I couldn't reward that, of course, but I was laughing pretty hard

[Red State Rebel]

12. My 2 goldens take turns humping each other...

Both are fixed, one is female, the other is male. She will get on him and hump then he will get away and do the same to her.

When they play fight, he lets her win sometimes. He is almost twice her size, but once in a while he will lay down and roll over while they are playing and let her win.

Our retriever mix knows when Dad says "who's going to bed" and she gets up and heads for the bedroom. When she gets excited, she will run over and open the bathroom door just to show off. We keep it closed because they like to get into the toilet paper. We have the doors handles that are a lever and she runs over and flips the lever down and pushes the door open the runs back to you like "ain't I smart?".

Silly puppies!

[Red State Rebel]

13. Oh, I forgot...Ebony howls like a wolf when she hears a siren..

Once in a while she will get tricked and howl with one on TV, but if she hears one outside, she sits down, puts her nose in the air and howls just like a wolf.

[LynneSin]

14. Evita will only play with me when I'm using the toilet

Evita was found as a feral cat and I adopted her through a local rescue group. She purrs like crazy IF you can hold and pet her, which is a challenge to do.

But everytime I use my bathroom at home, Evita will come strolling in so I can pet her. I am able to trick her by just sitting on the toilet (I'll put the lid down).

But last night was an amazing and wonderful first. I was listening to Offenbach's Belle Nuit from his opera "Tales of Hoffman". I picked up Evita and she actually stayed on my lap without me forcing her to stay there. She purred so loudly it amazed me. It's like she was entranced by the music

[Rainbowreflect]

15. Every day when I get home from work I let my Golden,

Cody out of his kennel. Every day he runs into the kitchen, hits the tile & slides into the wall. Every time he looks up at me all surprised it happened.

[XNASA]

16. Fluffytail the Cat likes to go bowling.

We have a bowl in the dining room table filled with some artsy looking styro-balls. Fluffytail like to paw them onto the floor and use them to bowl.

[SiouxJ]

18. My dogs greet me with their toys in their mouths

When I come home, Boris always has his rope and Tasha usually has a ball. They live to play!

[Bertha Venation]

19. Cocoa, aka Wenchzilla

When we scold her, she looks us right in the eye and chatters as if she's stalking a bird. Her whiskers flare out, she opens her mouth and goes "ack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack." It is very hard to scold a cat when you're laughing your ass off.

[SiouxJ]

20. And another thing. Tasha adjusts her bark when you tell her no!

She'll lower her voice and take long pauses between the barks. I think she thinks she can get away with it as long as she's not obnoxious about it.

[ceile]

21. I have a diabetic cat...

He's 18 lbs and loves to sleep on my chest or with his head on my arm and me spooning him. When he doesn't get his insulin on time he follows me around whining and purring. He's white with grey spots, so when he leans over to lick his fat belly, he looks like a soccer ball. He's too cute! :)

[Skittles]

22. when I'm very involved in surfing

after he's tried rubbing my legs to get my attention Clancy stands up, puts one paw on my knee and "waves" the other one in front of my face.

[TrustingDog]

23. my Milo eats wasps.

and he stops traffic with his cute short legs. He's part lab and corgy. I sometimes call him Mr. TickyToes Bounceypants. Sweetest disposition.

(forgot to put in his first name)

[LynneSin]

24. My Evita kills bats

Abbott just licks his balls while watching

[geniph]

26. My cat Fire is having an affair with a throw pillow

He's neutered, and as far as I'm aware, the pillow is entirely lacking in secondary sexual characteristics, but he finds it irresistable. He'll sneak into the room and stealthily slide up onto the pillow, then start kneading. If left undisturbed, in a few minutes, he's in full-on porn-star mode with the pillow. However, his love of the pillow is a forbidden love - he gets yelled at when he mounts his chenille darling - so he's gotten very sneaky about it. He howls if you take it away from him or hide it. It's a strange, sick sort of love, but it seems to make Fire happy. After a bout with the pillow, he curls up next to it and happily sleeps the sleep of the innocent.

27. My Maltese has about 200 stuffed animals and for many of them -

he can pick out the right one by its nickname. He can, also, do this for his collection of rawhide bones. He's brilliant!

[ChickMagic]

28. My kitters

Got a good dose of catnip last night, couldn't walk straight, then totally got the munchies.

[ElectroPrincess]

30. Our little English Pointer Mix ...

Is so gentle that she has her own sonic-care toothbrush. She permits us to brush her teeth with "beef" flavored toothpaste. BTW "Miss Taro" is soon to be tested for her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Certificate and Therapy International Dog Validation within our local club. There's a group of folks that Travel up north 40 miles to see the soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital. Miss Taro and I hope to join them in the near future (2 weeks) following national registration.
