    Her ears they nearly touch, people often say we know who is coming cause we no ur dogs ears...shepard with tops of ears nearly touching due too lots of upward clasping of hand for affection...also she is always told she gourgous by strangers....

    Everything! I love watching him run, what coulod be nicer than watching a basset run whilst their ears do pendulums and he keeps nearly falling over!

    Sadly gone to Rainbow Bridge now but she (springer spaniel) used to lick clean ALL the lower presses in the kitchen in hopes of finding a dribble of chicken grease or some other such tasty treat.

    Our dog whines whenever she hears the indicator in the car, gets all excited and if you say "Where are ya Pop?" she sniffs the air and whines even more if she knows she's going to the woods/lake/park etc :) And if you ask her does she want a treat she nods her head and says "Yep" in low barky tones :o

    The cat likes to knead where he's going to lie down, like most cats, but he also likes to knead the dog's face or thigh with his hind paws, she just looks beseechingly at us like "What is he doing?!".

    Also the two of them have epic battles at 7pm and 11pm EVERY night, the cat is pinned down, the dog puts her entire mouth around the cat's head, and the cat gets all boxer like with his flailing paws, would love to get it on video but they're both totally black so can't see it properly!

    When I hang out the washing my 12wk old collie sits under the washing line, then gets comfy and goes to sleep.
    She only does this when there is something on the line. :confused:

    Whenever we let her out in the morning, or come home after being out, our 5 month lab puppy feels the need to pick up the nearest thing to her and carry it around following us :D

    It's mostly her blanket, or a toy, but sometimes her whole bed or a sofa cushion! It's like, "look what I made while you left me all alone!" What's even funnier is sometimes it's a cloth shopping bag and she tries to walk while standing on it coz its so big, and then wonders why she's not moving! :D

    Has peed on a 5 year old :p
    Is more like a cat than a dog.
    Barks at the door only when there is people in the house, he doesn't bother to bark if theres no one to impress :rolleyes:
    Steals food all the time and everyone can tell if he has done something wrong as he puts his guilty face on :D
    Is very spoilt :o
    Is the most loved dog evverr!! :D:D

    Maine Coon- sleeps with his paws around my arm so I cant move it (or if my arms are under the blankets, he'll try and sleep on my neck!! he's almost a stone in weight!!) He has also jumped on my head from the stairs

    Moggy 1- likes to come into the living room and climb into the coal bucket? And then just sits there for hours staring at us.:confused:

    The pup- likes to stand up with his front paws on the windowsill outside the kitchen looking in if you're doing the washing up. He also has a habit of drooling on my laptop keyboard >.< In the vets for a checkup, i picked up a leaflet about cat kidney problems and the instant i opened it, he grabbed it off me, chewed it up and spat it out on the floor. As if to say, "I have to put with the cats at home, I'm not putting up with anything cat-related here!!" Needless to say, the vet was in hysterics

    My Coonie is trained to use our own loo. Usually when I'm in the shower I can hear him peeing in the toilet.......................he has a much better aim then my hubby :D028.gif

    My lurcher, Cleo, is missing a hind leg but runs like a rocket (just don't expect any sharp turns :)

    My collie, Freya, is known for her OCD about tennis balls by friends, family, the people in the local village and by the clients where I work lol

    Our latest adoptee, a 4yo dobie called Snoop, came from a nasty background and had forgotten what fun is. He's reminds me of Eeyore off winnie the pooh - droll!

    My persian, Heidi, is a psycho - have had her since a kitten, she'll approach us sometimes, but if you move towards or look at her, she flees as if her tail was on fire.

    My ginger tabby, Jummy, is the ultimate not-so-wild cat, he'll catch dust bunnies or the occasional previously injured moth and parade them like a lion with an impressive kill.

    I'm currently fostering a semi-feral cat and her kitten. The mother, dubbed Mona, will hiss insanely as you approach their crate, but just as you reach the door she has started dropping on her back and purring crazily!

    Our parrot will only have a bath after his cage is cleaned out and the hoover has to be on. He also knows all of the dogs names and will give out to them if they're misbehaving :p

    Minnie one of the JRT, sounds like she is being tortured when she gets near a cat

    Kerrie another one of the Jacks cries like a baby when she hears any of our cars coming home.

    Jazz yet another Jack is known around here for walking around with her frisbee around her neck like a necklace.

    and finally we have Boe our springer he is only just learning how to play but he absolutely adores his treat dispensing toy and will spend hours chasing it around the room even after it's empty. He spent 30 minutes this morning trying to get it back from under the parrots cage :D

    Thats very interesting as my 2 dogs do the same. It's as if they can sense exactly when the turn off to the woods is. :)

    My rebel has the best shiny coat i've ever seen! :)

    Also, when we pop to the shop, she will sit and look out the window (shops across the road) on top of "her" seat and when we come back will always give us a wee huff.. :P

    He growls, whenever somebody enters the front garden. I guess, he is more like a dog than a cat :D

    He loves me unconditionally :o

    As soon as he hears someone chopping veg he's up and out to the kitchen like a light, his favourite foods are bananas and red peppers!

    She's a golden retriever who doesn't like water or won't play fetch....
