Oh, the things they do!

God made his animal creations with fantastic senses of humor! Is there any little habit your pet has or a story you have of your pet that just plain ol' makes you laugh? (I apologize if this subject's been done, but I couldn't find anything.)

Here's one from me: My African Grey, Quinny, cries loudly like a dog whenever she hears a loud noise. She picked up this habit from my mother's dog who had an ear infection when my mother adopted him, so for a short while sounds caused the dog pain and he cried. Now Quinny makes the neighbors wonder what on earth we do to the dogs over here.

Blessings,

Hi awashinlove

Great thread idea!

First off, let me say that I love your African Grey story. To me, they are the most fascinating creatures. Their intelligence is simply unbelievable at times. I used to babysit one that belonged to a doctor. When the phone would ring, he would say, "Hello? Ah yes, thank you. That will be fine. Ok...bye bye now." It used to make me laugh so hard!

My kids do some crazy things that make me smile & laugh. I made a mistake when I adopted 2 littermates that were abandoned, Sugar & Spice. They were very malnutrioned so to get them back on their feet, I gave them milk to drink. Now Sugar knows exactly what that carton is coming out of the fridge and will harass me until she gets some. No other drink even makes her budge. I'll be sitting there drinking milk, and she'll come up to me pretending as though she wants to love on me. Then she gradually slips that paw in and touches my cup to try and entice me to lower it When I'm done, it doesn't matter whether or not there is a drop left, she will stick her head in the cup, run around the house with it over her head until she gets just the tiniest taste

My cat Spud sleeps on his back with all four paws in the air. Plus he snores fairly loudly to boot

My dog Angel, (Pomchi) barks at the food in her dish for about 30 minutes ... then runs each time she barks...comes back to the bowl, and eventually works up enough courage to grab a bite out of it. It's a wonder that she doesn't starve herself to death!
