Pet behavior... Oddities / quirks

• Belly35

  

  Over the years we have had many pets all where great part of the family and loved dearly.
  However some had very strange and at times oddities in their behavior. We have a 2 year old Goldendoodle Blazer the most loving pet we have ever owned. We use the term "special needs " at times when we refer to him in conversation. Blazer doesn't eat until our older Golden eats first if our 14 year old golden dies our Blazer will starve. Blazer is in continues movement walks from one room to room just checking each room, it a random check. He will be in the family room with us and just get up leave the room for a room check for no reason. At night he sleeps (very light sleeper) between equal distance from where I sleep and where our golden sleeps ( Murphy the golden can't make it up the stairs so he sleep down stairs in the hallway.) Is there some dna in golden blood that requires them to find and carry around rocks and play with them as it was a ball? We've had other Goldens do this but Blazer Goldendoodle is crazy about rocks. I must have 20 good size rocks on my deck .. He is not allowed to bring them in the house, so he leave them on the deck and goes find a new one. Blazer hate tools with handles shoves, rakes, brooms, hammers, power tools are even worse if you put them down he will grab it and drag it a way.... I can't work outside with him he attacts the tools. But he love walking beside/ behind the yard tractor when I mowing.

  Very well minded, too well in fact. It'll just sit there and stare at you, even though it has to go pee/poop. You have to go walk around the yard to coax her...

  One of our huskys had parvo at a year old. I believe that gave her some brain damage, and she is now retarded as fuck. Great dog, but stupid. Way too many things to list. My favorite is that when she sneezes, shes too stupid to raise her head up high enough. So when the force of the sneeze forces her head down, she cracks her mouth against the floor.

  my dog will flip out if you look at him and say "where is my rope" he will then run to wherever in the house the rope is (i can hide it and he will sniff it out anywhere) and bring me the rope. He's 9 years old now and grey in the face, but when you say that, he's a puppy again. love it.

  My dude's dog is hopeless. German Shepard. Chases shadows. All day/night long. Won't look up if she's staring at the floor or ground waiting for a shadow to move, even when calling her name repeatedly. We've tried to break her of this habit (he longer than I) and we've run out of ideas. She'll just stand there with her head down, for hours.
  
  She also won't act like a dog. She constantly will stand/sit/lay right up against you staring at the floor. You cannot lure her away, you cannot tell her to go play. She will follow you from room to room doing this. It's like she doesn't know how to go run around and play despite having 2 acres of yard to do what dogs do.
  
  Also, you can take her outside and sit for an hour and she won't go to the bathroom. But, as soon as you go inside she'll want to go to where her emergency papers are (crate) and go.
  
  I've seriously thought about suggesting to him to take her to a dog training class, but I also have doubts that it will work. She has, for whatever reason, OCD/anxiety issues that are impossible to correct, no matter how much time we have devoted to working on it.

  My 18 year old Mutt started having Dementia issues a while back. She just paces a lot then will stop a stare at something or nothing. Doesn't help her hearing is gone and eye site is going too. Plus she has developed this funny gate with her walk. Its like her front legs will move 2 times while he rear legs will only move once. It almost looks like a leap and hops when she runs out side. The Vet said that she isn't in pain.

  My wife's mini daschaund is a social eater. It'll bring it's food in mouthfuls to wherever the people are, drop it on the ground and then eat. We also have to shovel a path and a patch of grass when it snows, he hates his belly dragging in the snow. Will only poop on porch if not

  That's funny, and very much like the dogs we've had. I did the shoveling in the back yard for our pug, for the same reason. I would shovel a path close to the entire fence perimeter that mirrored his usual patrol route, with larger circles in the corners for him to poop in, so he didn't have to walk over his poop each time.
  
  And our min-pin does the social-eating thing when my wife and I are in the living room. He can't stand to eat by himself in the kitchen (or isn't happy unless he can keep an eye on us at all times). He'll only eat at his bowl if one of us is in kitchen for a while.

  Our big Pit-Dane mix will sleep on his back with his legs in the air.
  
  Our little Chihuahua mix has to sleep in between the sheet and the comforter. Won't sleep under the sheet.
  
  The Italian Greyhound loves lettuce, carrots, and rice.
  
  When our APBT gets hungry, he will sit and stare at his bowl silently. He's done this for about 20 minutes before I noticed and fed him. Won't bark or whine. Won't come get us. Just sits and stares at it.

  ...my grand-dog is an American Bulldog named Buck and he's the best. When they got him out of the rescue shelter, he'd been abused (some ahole doused him with bleach) so he's had some skin conditions that are now better. Hard to imagine someone could be that cruel. Anyhow, whenever I go over to their house, once he recognizes me at the door, he goes flying through their house and comes running back with this toy stuffed mallard duck that I gave him for us to play tug of war with.
