Our dog of 13 years passed away two weeks ago.One of our dogs is part Chihuahua and gets the "Chihuahua shakes" for absolutely no reason..
Thunder.. fine.. Fireworks.. fine..
Turn on a Booklight at night to read... shake like the world is coming to an end.
The other one in this picture is about 7 months old and for whatever reason has decided that bringing in poop from the backyard and eating it in front of us is good entertainment..
My Lab is afraid of the wind but only at night.Afraid of the wind.
My beagle/border collie mix is the same way. She’s also paranoid and thinks the newspaper delivery person is out to get her on walks even if there are no cars around whatsoever.I have a Lab that doesn't swim and hates water.
Mine squatted in the middle of the street I was crossing today, and she always keeps moving when she does it, like she doesn't have time for this because she has somewhere to be.####s on the sidewalk every time I take it for a walk
Both of ours not only chew/eat sticks.. But lately they have been bringing in rocks to chew on them..really the only dumb thing she does is eat sticks like they're some sort of gourmet dish. big, small.. twigs.. whole branches. she spends most of her time outside sniffing the lawn for sticks to eat.
vet says her breed has an iron constitution so it's not really a big deal unless she doesn't break them down enough, then it's going to hurt coming out. and it's pretty obvious when she didn't got a good enough job chewing. she mopes around the house likes she lost her best friend until she can pass her mistake.
Lost my lab of 12 years two and a half years ago. He would greet everyone with a big smile by baring all his teeth while wagging his tail, doing a play bow and snorting. You could tell the people who weren't used to dogs because they would think he was about to bite them. Still cracks me up thinking about some of the reactions he got from it.Our dog of 13 years passed away two weeks ago.
Little things keep happening during the day that remind me of her. Gave me the idea for the thread so we could celebrate them.
Your post is another one.
When it was windy out side, she would shake uncontrollably. Was the strangest thing ever. Afraid of the wind.
I had a German Shorthaired Pointer that was the same way. She had webbed feet since that breed is supposed to swim and retrieve. She was otherwise completely fearless to the point of being stupid, but absolutely hated the rain and the sprinkler and any pool or a bath...ChiefD said:I have a Lab that doesn't swim and hates water.

If I scroll through my DVR and my doodle happens to see the picture for A Dog’s Purpose, he goes nuts. Then I’ll tell him to “sit and watch” and he’ll jump on the couch and watch as long as I do.Daisy watches more TV than a human. She even knows some commercials, like the bounty paper towel one where the bulldog eats the wonton as it slides off the table. She starts barking before the dog is even shown. My wife has to clean the screen daily. I put it on the Puppy Bowl and she scratched the hell out of it.
Next you will say it does not like food to further question if it is really a Lab...ChiefD said:I have a Lab that doesn't swim and hates water.
Oh, it likes food. But we can only feed her a certain diet. Costs us about a billion dollars a month.Next you will say it does not like food to further question if it is really a Lab...
Sounds like the dog is pretty sharp. I'm terrified of adult men in suits and ties.Had a dog growing up that was generally scared of adult men, but absolutely terrified of adult men wearing a suit and tie.
Dad would come home from the office wearing his suit, she hid behind the couch and barked at him, tail wagging the whole time. He'd go upstairs, change into sweats, and she'd jump all over him. Somehow, as I grew up, it didn't translate; she wasn't scared of me, even as an adult, even wearing a suit and tie.
She was a rescue. We always assumed that she had once jumped on "the man of the house" and he knocked her across the room for dirtying his suit?
Maybe he needed fuel for his bark.Our 14yr old yellow lab (RIP) used to eat bark straight off the tree. Every tree in our back yard had a ring around it at his head height where he just would pick the bark clean off the tree. He was a stick eater in his younger years and transitioned to fresh bark as he got older.
My dog does this eating thing as well, unless he's really hungry. If he's really hungry he just stands there and chows down.The girl dog takes anywhere from 4-10 food nuggets from the bowl at a time, then carries them somewhere else like the living room if I'm there, and drops them out of her mouth where she eats them 1 by 1. I counted once and she made 16 round-trips during one meal.
She does chow down sometimes, true.My dog does this eating thing as well, unless he's really hungry. If he's really hungry he just stands there and chows down.
Oh, and we free feed, so there's always food for the dog. Lately, once he's done eating he lets us know his bowl is empty and will pester us until we give him food. He won't eat it at that time but will stop pestering us. It's like he's worried if there's not actually food in his bowl at all times.
my dog does the same thing. Has to empty the tanks so to speak as he knows when we going for a "walk" - one of his favorite words to hear.won’t go to the bathroom on a walk. ever. doesn’t matter how long we walk.

If we had crushed or cubed spill out of the fridge dispenser onto the floor, our dog would race to eat it all up. And then would puke her guts out 2 minutes later. I guess it was like stomach freeze.We stumbled upon Rey's predilection for crushed ice. She loves the stuff, saves us a bunch of money on treats.
