Odd habits/obsessions?

Zoey bites her nails every night in bed, i havent cut them in over 5 years. She also makes me sniff her feet, ive always told her her feet stink since she was a puppy, now she will put foot in my face so i can sniff and tell her how much i love her stinky feet

My corgi is a bit high strung, when she gets overwhelmed or scared, she goes in circles really fast, she also does it when its dinner time


My pom has always had a thing for eye lashes, she will get right up in your face so she can rub her nose on your eye lashes

Sam HAS to have something in his mouth when he greets us. (When he was a little piranha puppy, I would stick a toy in his mouth first thing so he wouldn't maul me. So i'm pretty sure I started this trend.) When we let him out of his crate in the morning or when either of us has been gone and then comes home, the first thing Sam does is find a toy to do his happy dance with. If he can't find a toy, he'll use whatever he can find, he carried around an empty box for awhile the other day, but he will not come up to greet us until he has something in his mouth. Sometimes he has to have two toys to carry around and he usually can't get toy #2 to fit in his mouth also so he spends some time fumbling around to get that right, all the while wagging his tail, totally excited and happy, being entirely adorable.

He then proceeds to circle around the coffee table or couch or dining room table, with his toy, wiggling his butt with joy and he WILL NOT stay in one place. If I wanna give him hugs, I have to wait until he circles around to me again and give him a quick drive by. Eventually he'll calm down enough to sit down and get some proper love. But he'll still have his toy(s).

I really need to get it on video, it's so cute.

Mine do this too! The first Lab in my life did this and it's what made me fall for them.

How the heck did you translate that into wanting to go outside? I'm still waiting for Sophie to give me some sort of signal to go out. I'm hoping that I don't miss it!

Well at first we didn't know what he wanted. He hates these stairs and will not go down them. Eventually we just started asking him what he wanted. Do you want to play? Are you warm, Did you lose a toy? Do you need to go outside? When we asked if he needed to go outside he'd dance and run to us then back to the stairs then to us and back to the stairs and keep repeating this action. When we got up to go to him THEN he'd run to the door to go outside. It was all a shot in the dark to figure it out.

Yes, it would be much easier if they could speak! When she sits down in front of me and looks at me I ask if she wants to play (I get a head tilt with "play") or if she wants to go outside (another head tilt for "outside") lol
