re: Hilariously stupid things your dog does

Our GR sits out of sight and quietly licks one of his plush fabric toys until it’s nice and sloppy, then comes up when I’m chillin on the sofa growling and trying to rub it all on me. So much so that I have to keep a yard stick there and whack him or threaten him with it to stop and go away. Such an idiot.

I recently cared for one of siblings dogs while they were on vacation. Sweet dog. But she would poop, walk off a few feet and start doing the back legs scraping thing but it wasn't no where in the actual direction of where she dropped her load.

Not sure if that's what she's doing on purpose but a head scratcher.

Also, kind pissed me off a little that she does it like 50% of the time so I that wasn't the go too "I pooped" sign. Making me have to pay attention to watch it comes out or not.

We have a female doodle and she always leans on something when she sits and splays her back legs out.

She also moves from place to place sleeping in the LR. She’ll just get up from beside my chair, walk over to another spot and lay down again. We can’t figure out why.

Also, we think she’s scared of the dark and will jump behind me if another dog scares her when we’re walking.

All three of my Golden Doodles will spin in a circle 3-4 times before they poop.

Mine thinks she's a cat. We got her as a pup and she was raised by our cats. She's huge. But she sleeps on the top of the sofa cushions like she's a small cat.

My dog used to go ape shite at nature documentaries. He would prop up on the TV stand and try to eat every bug that showed up on it. Put a lion on the screen though and he would run.

My mom has a chow mix that ignores every other animal sound on TV but Woodstock very specifically puts her in frenzy.

It's become a holiday tradition to watch my mom try to get her to stop scratching maniacally through the built-in shelves and cabinets to get behind the television.

I think my mom's onto the ruse since I noticed her go really fast past the Peanuts Chistmas Special with the remote last year.

Our female German Shepherd will hunt any flying insects that get into the house until the job is done. Even if it takes hours and she's anxious and stressed for so long that she's completely exasperated by the time she finally gets to chomp down and swallow it whole. All that work for 1 second. I also saw her eat the biggest cicada I've ever seen in my life in a single bite.

This same dog will pick each individual pebble of food out of her bowl, carry it into the living room, set it on the floor, inspect it, then eat it. Every. Single. One. We know she's finally done when she uses the back of the couch to wipe the crumbs out of her whiskers. She's definitely the dog equivalent of "on the spectrum"

All that being said, she is the most coordinated athlete and makes some insanely impressive catches of her toys and rope while playing fetch. She's also extremely intelligent and picks up on phrases (and remembers them) after only a couple times. She's the most loyal - to only me - I've ever owned.

Her 101lb brother is the complete opposite. Aloof, clumsy, scared of his own shadow and gets startled by his walking farts. The only real stupid thing he does is sleep flat on his back, back legs stuck straight out and one front leg stuck straight up in the air; the other front paw in his mouth almost like he's sucking his thumb in his sleep.

My 100 lb chocolate lab used to climb into the fireplace when it was cleaned out after winter. He'd curl up and just lay in there. RIP my boy. He also really liked to scuffle with live crawfish.

Our 85lb Berndoddle does the same but only after running 2 or 3 laps around the back yard along the fence.
