the old beak....

Our old dog "Shadow" ,........ was very territorial, we watched from the front door as he made a RUN'N GROWL for the chinese delivery man,......
as soon as shadow got the smell of beef curry from his large brown bags,.... shadow welcomed him with open paws and kindly escorted him up the driveway ......... still makes me laugh when i think about it !!

every christmas he used to stand there, looking through the glass panel of the lower oven door, watching the turkey cook.

hours later he'd still be there with his snout up to the glass , standing in a large pool of dribble !!

anybody got any quirky stories about thier pets ?

please share,... I love an auld giggle.

years ago new neighbours moved in a few doors down from my parents. Our next door neighbours came in for a drink one nite and saw the cat and burst out laughing. We asked what was up and they said the new neighbours had been in asking if they knew anyone with a tortiseshell cat (ie our cat) apparantly they had the sunday roast chicken fresh out of the oven, back door was open and in came our cat, pulled the whole chicken off the counter and out the door, they saw their dinner vanish over the fence, never to be seen again.
Our next door neighbours told them they had no idea whose cat it could have been

edited as i just remembered my sisters ex has a small dog and a cat, the cat comes up to dog, puts his tail up bum in face and dog.... em...does it doggy style !!!! this is a regular occurance apparantly, they are an interracial couple.....what do the other dogs say i wonder !!!!

We used to have cats when I was younger. One in particular spring to mind. A tom cat named Ginger used to eat our neighbours dogs food - literally go over the wall and push the dog (a rough collie cross) away from his food and eat it. Our neighbour thought it was quite funny their dog was such a scaredy cat in relation to this cat - our other cats were chased away. Ginger was a typical lazy tomcat but not when it came to food.

I had a dog that would eat anything that came from the chinese takeaway brown paper bag. Even fruit that he wouldn't usually touch.
someone rings your doorbell and hands you a big bag of food.he couldn't get over it:D

No chance of ever forgetting to feed or water Harvey.

He picks up his empty bowl with his teeth and throws it on the floor. The bowl being thin stainless steel it makes a noise like a big chinese gong
(that usually gets the servants going)

I used to have a Grey Parrot, aptly named Mr Grey, who used to perfectly mimic the Nokia "bee" ringtone. If you left the room, he would start "ringing" and the longer you left him the louder he got. As soon as you walk back into the room the ringing magically stopped. It fooled many people. He used to do the sound of the mircowave pinging when I went into the kitchen, and when the next door neighbour pulled into the drive next door he would mimic perfectly the sound of the neighbour turning on his car alarm. He had a disease called french moult which meant his primary flight feathers never developed properly and one wing was a bit out of whack so he couldn't fly, I used to put him on top of his cage with food in his dish, but strangely he wouldn't touch the food until I came into the room with my dinner and he would eat at the very same time as i did! I could go on and on talking bout his little traits... .
