What's the funniest thing your pet ever did...

[Richardo]

We had just brought home our new white miniature schnauzer puppy. (This was about a month after we'd brought home the black miniature schnauzer puppy.)

To get the new pup acclimated to her new digs calmly, we thought it best to send the other dogs outside with yummy rawhide bones to keep them occupied.

Our golden lab mix, Sadie, came up to the kitchen window with her bone in her mouth as if to thank us for the treat. When she saw the puppy in Mrs R's arms, she did a perfect jaw-drop :wow: and the rawhide tumbled to the ground.

The only thing missing was the cartoon *clank* sound effect of her jaw hitting the deck. :rofl:

1. I had a cat that used to watch the Nature channel with me

and when he saw marmots running across the screen he would run up to the TV and look behind it to see where they had gone

2. I once kept stick-insects

My, the antics which they got up to. I barely know where to begin. They kept the whole family amused for hours on end. :rofl:

[Richardo]

10. That one time? When they imitiated the *birch* twig? Priceless...

:rofl: you smartass. :)

3. When I first brought my dog home

she was a puppy. She was running across the living room, suddenly lost her balance or something because she veered to the left and ran right into an end table. She just shook it off and kept running around.

:rofl:

4. I moved my cat's food bowl

my cat would act like she didn't know where the food bowl was, even though it was a few feet away from the old place. When I would feed her, she would eagerly follow the plate till I put it down, and then run to where the food used to be and sit there. Then she would stare at the place where I used to put the food. :shrug: If you went into the other room, or did something else though, she would eat---but never if you were around. I think it was her way of protesting.

Cats :eyes:

5. My cat Siouxsie

She's very little, not Mr. Peebles little, but about 6 or 7 lbs. full grown.

One day a friend and I were in my dining room having a sandwich and a cup of coffee and my cat Newman (RIP), all 17 lbs of him, was sitting on the window sill watching us eat. He was such a mooch. He was so busy watching us that he never noticed Siouxsie had approached him from below. (We didn't notice either.)

Siouxsie jumped up, wrapped both paws around Newman's neck, and took him DOWN!

6. Learned how to turn on a lamp! (Abbott)

Seriously - he did.

In my bedroom I had one of those touchlamps where you touch the base and it turns on/off.

Abbott figured out if he rubbed it enough he could do it too, which at first was cute. Then in the middle of the night *POOF* my light would turn on and wake me up.

Needless to say the lamp was sold for $2 at a yardsale my mother had plus I got one of those oldfangled lamps that require opposable thumbs to use.

7. I was in the computer room, surfing.

I hear my wife yell, "COLEMAN!" from the other room. What do I see? Coleman marching proudly into the den with half a bag of bread in his mouth. I couldn't yell at him after that. :D

12. LOL that is too funny

15. last year I had a kitchen fire in my apartment

and I had to stay at my moms while repairs were being done. My cat went with me. One night, my mother cooked a roast. After dinner, we were all doing something, like playing cards or something in the next room. All of the sudden my mom shouts "Sooty---put that down". I look into the hall and my cat was dragging this roast down the hall.

16. That's a riot!

And they always look so proud after a "kill." :D

8. I have 2 cats who have a small box full of toys ...

the smaller female went over, pulled out a small fake mouse and started smacking it around. The larger male saw her playing, went over and grabbed it from her and walked across the room with it. She was miffed.

She then walked across the room and as she passed him, she smacked him on the back of the head and kept walking. The other cat gave her a "what did I do?" look.

9. My mom and I had been feeding this neighborhood cat

(it wasn't a stray, but we didn't know the owners). One day we let it in the house. It was on the couch with us and my mom had taken off her slippers. The cat was rubbing against us the way cats do. When he got to her feet, he jumped back with his face all scrunched up like he had just smelled the most awful thing in the world. My mom and I died out laughing. I thought she must have some pretty stinky feet if the cat couldn't even handle it!! The look on the cat's face was priceless!

11. My cat Oscar

had the joe cool attitude, he was running through the house one day and jumped into the dog's food dish, the dish skidded across the kitchen floor with Oscar sitting straight up. When it stopped Oscar tipped sideways out of the dish. He got up and looked around like no one was suppose to see what happened and calmly walked away.
May you rest in peace Oscar you were a hoot.

13. My dog used to do a "bucking bronco" spinning thing

when she was wound up and needed to drain off some energy. It's funny because she would spin so fast that she'd eventually fall over in the grass still spinning from the inertia. She still tries to do it sometimes, but I have to stop her so she doesn't blow out her bad knee.

14. I took my first ferret, Zowie, to mom's house

And Mom let her run around while we were talking. Zowie went into the laundry room, and in a minute we started hearing this loud banging up against the washer and/or dryer.

I went to check it out, and Zowie had gotten a bunch of dryer lint stuck to her face and couldn't get it off (static cling's a bitch) and was running around blind, banging into everything.

17. Our chocolate lab/chessie mix occasionally farts loudly...

Generally as he is dozing off to sleep. He'll jump up, growl, and chase his tail trying to figure out what the noise was and where exactly it came from. :rofl:

Also, he occasionally has "dreams" as he is sleeping and makes all sorts of bizarre snorty/snoring noises.

He's a goofy dog all around. :-)

[Bunny]

18. My Pug Patsy is pretty goofy, and does a few things that are comical.

She occasionally will chase her tail, while whining in the most pitiful way, as if it causes her great distress. We haven't figured out what the problem is, but she does it at least once/day.

She also like to climb up on top of our Golden Retriever for a nap. The big dog accepts it without complaint, but it looks funny - like Patsy climbed Mt. Everest and is resting at the top of the world.

Oh, and not to be indelicate, but at times she doesn't quite complete the process of elimination. In other words, there is poo hanging from her butt. She attempts to clear her behind by biting at it and yelping furiously, like she's trying to scare it out or something!

Anyway, when this happens, I have to get her in a death grip and use a paper towel to manually complete the process. Sorry, that was kinda gross, wasn't it?

19. Canoe Cats

When I was living on a lake, we had two cats that loved to ride in our canoe. They would see us going to the lake, they would run ahead and wait at the shore, and jump in when we got the boat in the water. they would stand in the front taking the world in.
If they missed us they would stand on the shore yelling at us. Once one of them jumped in the water and started to swim out to us. Cats are pretty good swimmers it turns out
