How Stupid (Funny) is Your Dog (Pet)?

[ChickQueen77]

When Skippy gets a treat from the house like a bone he will go outside and show the other dogs that he has a treat and they don't

Well, the chickens do that....

He must be subbing in since we don't have chickens here... If only he'd lay eggs, too!

Here's a place to share your funny, silly, goofy, outrageous, unbelievable, cute or endearing stories about your pet that don't quite fit in other threads. Pictures encouraged! I'll start.

I was just sitting here thinking how Sammy, my Sheltie, is Barney Fife to my Sheriff Taylor on the Andy Griffith Show. Here's an example. Jenny, my Golden, is clearly crunching on something she shouldn't have (it's dark, I can hear her). It's probably a stick. She should not have a stick. She eats them, then she pukes or gets diarrhea. The other dogs just chew and spit, but she hasn't figured that out yet.

So I'm lying here thinking I need to take this away from her. But as soon as I say, "Jenny, what do you have?" ever so politely, here's what will happen.

Sammy, who's been lying here silently, gently snoring, will jump up and leap into Barney Fife mode. He'll decide I need help, as loudly as he can administer it, never mjnd it's 10 pm and DH is trying to sleep. He'll start shouting, at the top of his mighty little lungs, something like this:

OH MY LANDS! SHE HAS A STICK! SHE CAN'T HAVE A STICK! IT'S AGAINST THE LAW! TAKE IT AWAY! CALL THE COPS! PUT HER IN JAIL! GIVE HER THE DEATH PENALTY! GET A ROPE! HANG 'ER HIGH! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT! HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!

And so on, as he loses his tiny little mind. And as Jenny smiles gently and lets me take it from her, he will run around snarling and snapping at my hand like I'm about to pick up a deadly snake.

He really is an idiot. But he looks so normal, doesn't he?

He may be an idiot, but he's a BEAUTIFUL idiot!

Another stupid thing my Sammy does is, when there's something scary to bark at, unlike the other dogs, he barks from the safety of the house while the others run out to do battle and chase the intruders away. You know, like the trash or propane truck, FedEx, UPS, etc.

THAT'S RIGHT GUYS, YOU GET 'EM, I'VE GOT YER BACK! I'LL CALL 911, YOU HOLD 'EM OFF, GOOD JOB EVERYONE, GET 'EM!

Years ago, our Peekapoo had puppies. We found homes for all of them, but my brother wanted to give one to his girlfriend. Her birthday wasn't for another month, so Coki stayed longer than the others and we got to watch his personality develop. He was a sweet little black furball who loved everyone ... until someone showed up with a big, bad stranger (a half-grown lab puppy.)
Coki went NUTS! My Dad actually said we should keep him because he was "such a good watchdog." I almost lost it and had to call my father over to show him why. Coki was barking his fool head off, but had backed himself so far into a corner that his front feet were three inches off the baseboard and his tucked tail was plastered against the wall nearly a foot above his head. A real tough guy!
