At home, my Springer Spaniel is a flailing ball of spastic energy. When my dad and I take her hunting she turns into a scary focused super hunting dog OF DOOOOOM.

...yes...but is that stream enough to turn a perfectly peaceful gutter/moat into a raging torrent all around your house?


it has whitecaps.

No, but, might I ask why you let your toad run all over your house? It's not safe for them, the soaps and chemicals used to clean your house are bad for them, even a small amount can prove harmful, even organic soap, not to mention that they have man, I mean many natural predators/enemies.

chemicals? you my friend, obviously do not live in the 3rd world. you have to do it yourself with water, a rag, and hat ever else

ineptus astartes wrote:chemicals? you my friend, obviously do not live in the 3rd world. you have to do it yourself with water, a rag, and whatever else

Well, you have internet access, so, that's saying something, and as someone whose spent most of their childhood in duprovki, russia, I know a thing or two about cleaning by hand.

But, yes, any soap of any kind can be harmful, so can any grease from food, etc.

we don't let him inside the house, he lives in a defunct well in the front and sometimes let him wander the 'yard'

He mustn't be afraid of you then, many toads develope courage, and aren't afraid of humans. Reminds me of the pixie frog they used to have at the pet store, he wasn't afraid of anyone, and he'd try to bite people, he had these tiny teeth that were sharp, and he'd eat mice. Poor thing, nobody either wanted him or had the money to buy him( I had just came to this country at the time, and didn't have money to spare). The owner eventually took him home.

My orange tabby drinks the water off of the floor of the shower when I'm finished.

He's an utter freak.

I have a trio of Hungarian Vizlas. Randomly, with no warning, and at no recurring times, they'll all just start running around the house, in circles, round and round objects, from one room to the other, outside, inside, up and down the stairs. They never knock anything over, never cause a mess, and never bump into anything solid, which is why the glass patio door is great fun.

My cat is pretty much a living shredder, give him any box or piece of paper, leave the room, come back after a bit and find the whole room covered in pieces of it.

My dog (a dingo/mutt named Sandy) ATE A PS3.

Top that.

Mmm...strange things...where to begin.

*Rodney likes to eat dead rotting corpses. He particularly likes trying to eat an entire squirrel corpse in NOMNOMNOM machine gun like fashion. He'll even lick the desiccated corpses of last year's worms off the sidewalk.
*Rodney likes to jump up on the table, any table, like a cat. If caught in the act he will utterly freeze and do the "this is not the wiener dog you are looking for" routine.
*Rodney likes to lick other dogs in the face. As his breath smells the bad side of the back of a fish market other dogs recoil in horror.
*Rodney likes to be licked all over like a baby puppy. When he's done he will start kicking the other dog in the face.
*Rodney had a fight with a lawn chair once and lost.
*Rodney gets trapped in a blanket about once a month and can't get out.
*If you make "WOO WOO" noises when Rodney is on the sofa, he will try to dig through the cushion to safety.
*Rodney yodels when someone plays the marumba.
*Rodney will try to help you drive, even so much as standing with his paws on the steering wheel while you're driving.
*Rodney doesn’t like boys or wheels. If you come into the house he will waddle near you. When you aren’t looking he will bite the &*^* out of your leg. I have confirmed GC is free to date any boy that Rodney likes. If Rodney doesn't like them, Mr. Kimber doesn't like them.


*TBone forgets where he's at. When he is visiting the big yard in Houston he will get lost in the middle of the back yard and Rusty will have to go get him and shepherd him back.
*When excited (like a loud noise or sudden movement) his first reaction is to run and attack Rodney. One time I was chasing Rodney about (trying to teach a former stray how to play is difficult) and TBone leaped on his back and rode him bullrider style for the complete 8 count.
*TBone can’t see well, yet if he hears a squirrel he will sit underneath and just wait. We had the squirrel once climb across and come down next to him, foraging (like within 5 feet). TBone never noticed, just kept staring up.
*TBone will eat mentos but not onions.
*If you mess with him he will walk right up and pee on you.
*TBone likes to go for household trash baskets. Unfortunately sometimes the basket wins and he ends ass up in it and can’t get out.
*TBone is ball retrieving OCD. I stopped counting after 119 times in a row. Seriously, my arm was sore for three days.

some of these are believable, some of them not.

you like dachshunds, don't you?

I had a pit bull that crushed a brass door knob, the bottom part of a door, and a door frame (all at different times).

EDIT: You sure he didn't secret the PS3 to a hideout where he and his dog buddies are playing as we speak?

ineptus astartes wrote:you like dachshunds, don't you?

Everybody likes daschunds, we all love daschunds, daschunds are the greatest, heh heh, don't you agree? DON'T YOU AGREE!?

yes, my mutt shorty is part dachshund (scrawny little legs) but is having the back problems associated with stublegged dogs.

ineptus astartes wrote:yes, my mutt shorty is part dachshund (scrawny little legs) but is having the back problems associated with stublegged dogs.

That is a common problem. Is shorty overweight? Getting them back to fighting trim is often a really good thing for their backs.

nope, Shorty is Underweight we feed him like crazy but he has back problems as well as he fact that he is a skeleton with fur. you can warp your mands (minus the thumbs) around his gut.

Sometimes my Springer Spaniel eats my ADD medication.

Understand. I feel for Shorty.

My dog xena poses like this for photos lol:

IT'S THE BUMBLE!

my jack russel terrier jumps...alot. and does what we call navy seal rolls(she just rolls over and over again in the yard). Plus just does lots of insane things like searches out my retainers in my house, and tries to eat them, ive had to replace them twice because she has eaten through 2 cases...crazy dog. i love her though

Once had a cat who liked to jump up on certain visitor's laps and then burrow her head into their armpit like crazy.

And, another, really dumb and fat one who would sit on a window sill too narrow for him, fall asleep, fall off while asleep, look shocked and confused.. then immediately get up again and repeat the cycle over and over.. usually about once every 20 minutes for several hours.

Not mine, but a mate's cat used to like sushi.

Wasn't so keen on the wasabi thoug (would try and push at the ground to try and get the taste out of his mouth).

Didn't stop him coming back for more, though (and repeating the 'push bad taste out of mouth' thing.

Here we go:

My dog sometimes stands there licking nothing, not his lips or anything, just air, Its one of the funniest things ever.

He also thinks that he is a pig, he snorts like one, smells like one, and eats like one.

When he sits he also keeps his two bottom feet to one side and he latys down like he a bear mat. He sneezes after he is upside down, every single time. Even if he is running and falls over and rolls really fast he will simply sneeze, it happens every time, the funniest is when he wants you to scratch his stomach andd he sneezes in your face.

This is very discusting (I have warned you) He eats my guinea pic left over... ....yanno.... .....droppings.

He eat flies mosquitoes, grasshoppes, or any other insects.

He watches the tv with us, and is actually intersested the whole time.

He gets really irritaed if you daeth stare him, he starts to whine and wimper untill you look away.

Well thats my very strange dog.

Oh! and my guinny pic and my dog his, my guinnea pig also well kinda shuffles!

My cat tries to eat anything that is crinkly, and usually throws it up on a rug for me to clean up in the morning...every morning.

My wife's cat hunts our 3 pound chihuahua on a regular basis, and there is nothing playful about it. They have become arch enemies and one day I wouldn't be to surprised to find one of them dead.

The chihuahua holds her own against the cat BTW, she may be much smaller but she opens up a can on that cat when the gak hits the fan!

My other cat (3rd cat) is 24 pounds or so of dry cat food lovin! He will only eat dry cat food, but when he never purrs until he starts eating, but when he does you can hear him from across the house. He will probably die of a heart attack, but I would gladly die young to be able to enjoy anything in life half as much as he enjoys his dry cat food!

The only thing funny about my pit bull is the gas that would make a horsefly gag.
