Both my dogs Rock and Coco have bad gas, they kidney bean, use their paws like cats, eat bugs, run aimlesly around the yard, are very nosy, they do the woo woo song. and Rock rides across the floor on his belly with his legs behind him. They are great! gotta luv em.

I love to read all of these to my husband (who's trying to study)! We are so excited about getting Spyder!
Goliath used to mess up beds and lay on the pillow. You would come into the bedroom after getting jammies on and hen he would just look at you like, "What's the problem?"
I loved it when he would lay on his back like a bug and pretend that he couldn't reach a toy that was touching his side! "[Wiggle] I can't get it! I just [wiggle] can't [wiggle] reach it!" Then he would stand up and grab it in his mouth!

I've been reading everyone's posts and I've got to say, I can't wait to see how many of these traits show up in our Bella. Since she's our first boxer and only 4 months old, we haven't experienced most of them yet but I find myself chuckling at most of the experiences you all have had. We were concerned the first night when she did the kidney bean move - I wondered if we had a "slightly imperfect" addition. Now we just call it her wiggle butt! She does the jack hammer move, has the gas but what I find most amazing is her ability to pick up on new tricks and commands. She can learn a trick a night!

Agree w/the early riser.. even when thy sleep later!

All of the above. Plus a bed hog, Jesse sleeps in between me and hubby when he's home (long haul truck driver), she usually has more of the bed than either one of us.

I think Tatum biggest trait is the "lean" whenever he is on the couch. No matter what you do he will still lean on you. Oh ya and of course the gas. :D

Mugs is a swimmer?

Mugs can swim? Great! Check the archives for my poem "Cruiser's First Swim." Just not one of his traits...

 

[BrindleBeans]

We have most all of the above and...
Beans loves to ride in the front seat of the car and look ahead like she knows where we are goin. If someone looks at her she will look at them as we drive by, she must think "what are you looking at?"
Wheeeew does she have the gasssssss. (outloud, clear the room and make the kids gag kind of fart'n) At first I thought it was one of the KIDS!
