what cute quirks does your dog have

This one is about My Brandy when she was about 5 years old. She would scratch at the side of the bed that my husband is on. He would say, "What does she want now?" Me, being an instigator, told him, "She probably needs to go out"; all the while knowing better. He would get up take a few steps and she'd jump right in his place and put her head on the pillow. LOL! Then they would have the cutest staring contest with her ears all the way back and winding up with him pushing her off the bed. This would happen mostly on weekends when he would sleep later.

Again, brandy was lying on the bed ( yes, I let her...I'm bad), with her head this time on my husband's pillow sleeping. I was watching her when our cat jumped up and proceeded to walk across the tops of the pillows as he always does, to my side. Well on the way there she stops right over Brandy's/my husband's pillow, stares at her and then takes his paw and wacks the living daylights out of her and walks on. Brandy woke up shocked, looked around like, "What the heck did I do?"

Sorry, I just remembered another one.

This involves Brandy a few years ago. It was pollen season and she was on the bed as I was trying to nap. I started clearing my throat, which my husband always imitates as I am very loud and I clear my throat like "Stuart's mother" on that older comedy show "Mad Magazine"??? and I annoy everyone with that. Well Brandy was very patient and was facing away from me, after about an hour of loud throat clearing, she finally turned her head, looked over her shoulder at me with a furrowed brow, and let out the biggest sigh and took off. She never did that before. She had enough and went off in another room to get some peace and quiet.

I went to the allergist the next week. He asked me, "What brings you here". I told him, "When a person is clearing their throat so much that their dog looks over her shoulder in disgust, sighs heavily and runs out of the room, I figured I need to come in." He laughed and told me about his GSD.

His story was that his dog would lie under the dining room table when they'd have guests. The guests were there late and his dog would let out these heavy sighs from under the table. Finally the dog went to the door, visible from the dining room, sat there looking at the door and kept hitting her nose into the doorknob over and over. His guests said, "Did you teach her that to get people to leave?" in an irritated tone. He said, "Honestly , NO, I guess it's past her bedtime and she wants to go to sleep!"

When Abby has a squeaky toy and she can't find the squeak she will bring it over
to me and drop it in my lap or on my foot and look at me. When I show her (again) that it really does squeak she will take it back and work on it until she finds the squeaker.
She does the same with her marrow bones. When she can't get at that last part
in the middle of the hole she brings it to me, drops it and gives me the "Knock yourself out" look.

Cody will walk around with 1 toy in his mouth and "play soccer" with another...typically a ball.

Cody will bring is bone up to you and chew it on your lap. Or he'll try to get you to hold it for him while he chews.

He re-arranges the blankets on the floor before bed too, and grunting is definitely part of that process haha

zero has the toy ball with a string on it, he will swing the ball while still holding the string and hit the ball with his right paw then left paw and back and forth. he will run around the house taking this ball everywhere lol

He is ticklish on other of his flanks. More so than a normal dog

He sucks on blankets when he gets anxious.

He likes to poke at your feet with his toys.
