Ummh yeah,.. Powder likes his butt smacked.

So does my pit bull! If you tap his butt over and over he slowly lowers to the ground with his back legs splayed out like a frog. Sometimes he just sits while you're doing it and throws his head back and moves it back and forth, funniest thing ever.

He also grunts like a damn pig when he's happy. I thought it was the weirdest thing when we first got him because I have never heard a dog do that before! The kids think it's so funny so they will sit there and rub on him and scratch his belly and tap his butt just to hear him do it...I guess it's a win/win situation because he gets petting and they get amusement.

He has to go out every hour. Seriously, I think half the time he doesn't even have to go to the bathroom because sometimes he doesn't stay out there very long. I know he can hold it because he sleeps in my room all night and never goes in the house. He was actually the easiest dog to house train I've ever had. And yet, every hour on the hour he's whining at the door to be let into the back yard. He's also a sissy and will not go out by himself so I have to go out with him or make my dog waffles go out there...he will also not go out in the dark unless the backyard light is on.

He likes my wet hair towels thrown on his head. He thinks it's a game. It started by accident. He sits outside the bathroom door while I'm in the shower. When I get out and I'm dressed I open the door to let the steam out because there is no exhaust fan. He came in one day and I wasn't paying attention and dropped the towel from my hair onto his head. He crashed around our small bathroom until he got it off. Now if I don't put the towel on his head he sits there and looks at me like "Well come on now, I'm waiting." He also likes to lick any water off the floor after my showers, no matter that I make sure the dogs always have fresh water available.

He likes to sit on my feet. Doesn't matter if I'm sitting or standing, if my feet are on the floor and I sit still long enough he will sit on them.

My dog Junior refuses to eat anywhere but on a carpet. The only carpet in this house besides in the bedrooms is in the hallway, which is all the way across the house from the kitchen where I first put his bowl when we moved here a year ago. He would grab a mouth full of food, run to the hallway, spit it out, eat it and then run back to his bowl and do it all over again. For some reason all the running back and forth would drive me just a little bit nuts so I moved his bowl to the hallway and it's been there ever since.

My dog waffles is missing a back leg, it had to be amputated Jan 2011. She constantly moves her stump back and forth, seriously she never stops unless she's sleeping and sometimes she even does it in her sleep. She also loves to eat bugs, any kind of bug. I live close to a lake so we got quite a few around here. If we get a moth or fly in the house she will not give up until she gets it. Yesterday I caught her trying to eat a beetle, one of those black ones with the giant teeth(ok, I know they are not called teeth, but I can't remember what they are called, I am NOT a bug person) I saw her picking something off the ground, spitting it out and shaking her head and then picking it up again. After I finally got her away from it she had that thing so pissed off...I picked it up with a towel and it bit down on the towel and I couldn't get it off. Once she was after a wasp(this was when she still had her leg and could jump really high) She was tearing up my room trying to get it. I finally managed to wrestle her away from the damn thing and kill it, but since she didn't see me kill it because she was locked in the other room, when I let her back in she thought it was still there somewhere. She sat in that room for an hour looking for that wasp, and if you randomly made a "buzz" sound she would flip the hell out all over again.

Now I don't know if this is a weird quirk or just a "dog" thing...someone once told me they do it to mark their territory....but I have a fenced in back yard, that's where I let my dogs out to go potty or play. All three of my dogs will only poop right next to the fence on the edge of the yard. Now I'm not complaining because it makes it far easier to find the poop come clean up time and us humans are less likely to step in it, but any other dogs I have had or my family had growing up would just poop wherever all over the place.
