Our Buster 12&1/2 year old miniature fox terrier has an anxiety for rocks yep rocks there in his head every waking hour. I heard him whimpering one day and thought he'd been bitten by a snake turns out he was chewing the side of a rock twice the size of his head :lol:. He store's them in his kennel and some days he pulls the blanket out and there's at least 10 or more rocks of varying sizes. Every day he will bring me a rock to throw for him no matter how far I throw it in the pitch black on a dark night he brings it back every time. The only annoying thing is when he sneaks one inside and I stand on it and half roll my ankle. It sure is strange and I'll miss it when he's gone doubt we'll ever have another rock dog.
 
A friend had 'Brick' the Red Setter who used to snort ant trails, sneeze, shake his head, keep snorting more. Did it for ages...

Every time my mate put his food bowl down, Brick would bounce around like an idiot and end up putting his paw in the bowl - every time...

He kept knocking over his water bucket - no fail - couldn't put his head in it and just take a drink without knocking it over. My friend said, "Right! I'm gonna stop this!" So he got a rope and tied it several times around the bucket and the tap pole. Went back out a bit later and the dog was tangled up in the rope, lying on the ground licking the spilled water off the concrete...

I said the dog's obviously snorted too many ants... And my mate said, "No, he's just always been thick as a Brick! It's how he got his name! :lol:
 
Dusty the Wonder Dog, 12 year old (also) Kelpie who goes absolutely nuts if I pick up a fishing rod - has been doing it ever since she was a pup and she will launch herself into the water when I cast. Funny to watch, but doesn't help with the fishing.

TJ, my 6 month old Heeler absolutely LOVES the water. His strange habit is that his sticks his face under water all the time. In his kiddy pool, at the river and even if the gutters are full of water he will run along with his snout under water.

He also likes a cuddle. He will sit in my lap for hours and likes to watch puppy videos on TV.

This is Poppy, she eats lots of stuff she shouldnt like frogs and sugar ants of an evening and great hunks off the leather couch, several books, polypipe and a recent nasty one, a collar off Cocos neck and the D-ring got stuck in her intestines.
She has now fully recovered from this last incident and we continue to Poppy proof the house and garden.
Poppy is a woowoowoo talker too, always makes us laugh. Poppy and Coco are pair of clowns. Love them both.
