    Do your pets have strange behaviors?

    Emily likes laundry, clean or dirty. Usually she retrieves it and scatters laundry throughout the house while mewing like she's upset or calling for my attention. I don't know if she's looking for her former owner, if this is just what she does.

    Needless to say, my laundry gets put away fast these days and the dirty stuff goes right in the hamper. She found a way to get to my dishcloths even those these were in a loosely knotted bag up high. I actually leave out some dishcloths for her to scatter about.

    I tell ya, these critters got brains.

    When ever I click my fingers or clap or come near One Down, or call him or something, or like point at him, he goes in a circle I don't know why, maybe he thinks its his job! He nearly always does that! Many times he gets so excited that when he turns around, he accidentally bumps his backside into something So I guess I'll vote that he has a strange behaviour

    My Tuxedo Tinker will sit in or on anything circular. I have to get pics of this. Last night I came home and she was sitting directly inside a piece of cardboard that had a circle cut out of the middle. She wouldn't move so I had to set her canned food dinner in front of her.

    If an extension cord is on the floor in a circular pattern she will sit or lay in it. I have put different things on the floor and just watched and waited for her to do this. My funny girl.

    I had to vote that I'm the strange one! My pups don't really do anything strange - just typical dog stuff. Maybe one little strange thing from Sparky - he digs at the carpet like he's trying to dig a hole outside - tho he never even dug one outside! He does the same on the bed at night with the blanket, tho I think he's just trying to make his nest for the night.

    Well, Domino has this thing where he scratched at the water bowl (or the carpet if he's drinking from his water bowl in my bedroom) before he drinks water. I don't know why, but he does.

    Tallulah is pretty normal I think, I can't recall anything weird that she does off the top of my head.

    Lily is also pretty normal, unless you consider cleaning herself like a cat and "talking" abnormal?

    Jax is also a paper shredder. I heard him in the closet the other day, in a spot usually only used by Paizly. I went to see what the noise was (I figured he was bugging Paizly) and found him shredding the corner of a cardboard box that is flatened against the back wall of the closet. He'll shred Bruce's work papers on the desk.
    He loves to stare at the ceiling looking for bugs/insects. Then he'll meow at them very loudly.

    Oh, one thing Paizly does that is a little strange. She gets on my desk (which is usually always a mess) and digs into bags that are on the desk. Yesterday she climbed into my "patient belongings" bag from my surgery on Friday. I got pictures of this!!
    She also likes to chew on ribbons or strings. She attacks the camera cord when I try to take pictures of her. She was a challenge to get a picture of for the PT Calendar!

    Well one picture wouldn't load for some reason. But here is the picture of her in the bag attacking the camera cord while I took the picture.

    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
