We've had a 10 year old rescue cat for about 4 months now. When he sleeps, he folds both of his paws over his eyes, no matter what position he's in. I think its something he learned while doing time in cat prison.
We had a dog that could sneeze on command. Not some little pachoo, either. I mean you'd point at him and say "DOG! SNEEZE!" (his name was Dog) and he'd wind up and AHHH CHZOOO!!!, his head would shake side-to-side, and most times his nose would bounce off the ground and he's sneeze a second time. Then he'd look at you and start barking, waggin his tail and turning in circles. Craziest thing. He was a large, dark, collie/sheppard mix mutt. We taught him that trick completely by chance. I was teaching him to "speak" (bark on command) and he'd learned it pretty quick. However, I noticed that if he hadn't been barking for few hours, the first time he barked, he'd alway sneeze first, then start barking. I think he had allergies or sinuse troubles or something. Anyhow, since he'd sneeze if he wasn't "warmed up", instead of saying "DOG! SPEAK!" I'd just say "DOG! SNEEZE!". Man, that would get some looks and laughs. Freaked people out.:laughing:
Apparently he didn't distinguish between SNEEZE and SPEAK. Unfortunately, that was in the days before home video, and when Letterman started doing Stupid Pet Tricks, poor on Dog was too old to travel, or I'd have taken him to New York. Probably the best, most mellow dog I ever met. I miss that mutt!

I got a chicken that gets on my work beach while I work and wants me to pet and talk to her. Before she leaves she well give me a egg, if I don't talk to her there is no egg.

kiddie pool here!
shadow, the runt that she is, is a sniffer, has to smell everything, including stuff she about to eat. she is one picky little dog, i finally found something that interests her. and that is FROGGING!
tree frogs are specialty, the latest frog = bull frog in the kiddies pool, for life of her she just not able to catch it, she paws at water, paws at the concrete blocks i have for getting in and out of the pool, but just never manages to get a hold of it, expect 2 times, and that was an eskimo kiss (her nose vs bull frog nose), always has to check out the kiddie pool to see were her frogs are before she does anything else.
kujo the taz mania devil dog that he is... always has to have a toy in his mouth. the one exception "water splashing or coming out of a hose" if water could feel, it would be a living **** with kujo around. he has to smack his teeth and chompers together, to tear that water up, or he not happy.

Back to my Golden, this weekend my 12 year old grandson was here for a visit. It's been about 18 months since last visit due to distance. Of course, Tess went crazy, following him everywhere.
One time she was sleeping, and while I've seen her dreaming and her legs going and soft woofing, but this time her tail was wagging like crazy. She's never done that before.
I gotta get that dog a boy! :laughing:

My family has a 1 y/o old yellow lab. I've had a few dogs and this one has the most personality of all of them. She is funny to watch. Playing with toys, running around like a fool but rarely a bark or whine where my other dog is quite verbal. She makes more noise while sleeping than when awake and her cheeks flap when woofing while asleep. The other thing I've never seen from a dog is she itches herself with her rear paws while standing up. She used to fall over but now she balances pretty well. Comical.

we inherited a cat a few years ago that is a bit independent, until
his food bowl is running low or getting stale (won't eat the last bits either)
his oddity is we can't get him to drink water out of anything but a dripping
bathroom sink. no bowls, no small water dispensers for hamsters, nothing
but a sink. we do catch him dipping down into the toilet if we forget to
leave one dripping for him for a long period of time.

Our blue healer brings pasture kill to our outdoor cat. The cat is pretty fat. She also brought fresh kill bunnies, field mice and snakes to her pups...divied up the catch between them too.
