Strange things your pets do...

Ruger will lay next to the stove soaking up the heat, often until he's panting heavily. I'm not sure whether it's just the warmth or if he's guarding it to ensure I don't leave without him. (He also will sit outside by the truck until I come out, on days that I tell him he's staying home.)
A couple of Christmases ago a winter storm brought cold weather and significant snow. It stopped just before dark so ]he went out and watched when I went out to plow. The driveway was about half done when he decided he'd had enough and it was time to go inside. After letting him in I finished the driveway and went to open up the road into my field.

When you get working it's easy to forget about minor things like fingers, but after a couple more hours I realized that I was COLD, and needed to get inside right now. I booked it for home and went inside. He'd been laying next to the stove all of that time and running my fingers through his fur was like putting my cold hands in hot dishwater... it sure felt good.

Another funny pet story I thought of.
I grew up in the country but near a main highway. Across the road down a long driveway lived a family who had three daughters and one son. Their property boarded an 18 hole golf course. Their house was always getting hit with stray golf balls.
One day one of the girls bought a de-scented
skunk naming it "Stinky".
One day they're having dinner when they hear a man hollering for help.
Looking outside there was a golfer on top of their picnic table frantically swinging a golf club. Stinky was down below under the table.

My Kali has gotten this habit of loudly licking her front paws. It has been checked by her vet and is not a problem, just a habit. Never the less, I told her to stop and she did. I look over a couple of minutes later and she is licking them again but almost silently. Smart dog!

I had a labrador retreiver several years ago that liked to get the newspaper out of the paper box. We initially didn't know what was happening to our newspapers and thought they weren't being delivered. Our house is 500 ft. from the road and our dog usually stayed on the front porch. I found some ripped up papers under our pine trees near the road and caught him one morning taking the paper out of the box right after it was delivered and taking it under the pine trees. He then proceeded to rip it it to pieces. I guess we just need to train him to bring them to the house without destroying them.

Mine is the same way when retrieving birds... he's pretty good at finding them, but if I don't get there he will make them disappear.

If you have owned dogs i bet you can relate.

Ozzie came to visit yesterday and immediately found what i guess is a pile of deer scat. Not sure, don't matter. His mom scolded him so he promptly went and found some more to adorn the other side.

Old friend was a dog trainer, said they do that to cover their scent, it works!



That's my dog rufus on his back, quite a scene.

Just saw on tv, 2 gals selling beagle scented candles.........hmmmmmmm
