This is such a good thread! I don`t know how come I didn`t see it before now! I have enjoyed the stories so much they are SO funny
Bob gets obsessive sometimes. Like he discovered -after 4 years!- that if he stood on the sofa he could see through the window, and I could not get him off it, he was there morning, noon and even at night with the blinds closed he just stood there staring at them! He is more normal with it now, he does watch out there but not ALL the time. Staring is what he does when he is obsessed if it is an object, like a new toy or something else he wants, he will sit and stare where I put it, for ages and ages.
One dog I had, Max, my beloved Dobie, used to bite his nails. He would sit on his chair and go to each leg in turn and chew away. (And, no we never had a problem with ragged nails) There was something else too. He had his tag on a choke chain and his party piece was to hold the tag in his teeth and walk around the room looking just like a horse doing dressage, he just loved the attention he got from that! I still miss him.
