What funny habits?

My boys have a few quirky habits. Rocky is in the majority, he won't leave the stoop to potty unless you are standing there with him, course you can't look at him while he poops ("Mom, I'm pooping, don't look at me!") He also likes to drink water out of the shower. Apollo has different quirks. When he is pooping, if you are looking at him, he'll turn his back on you. He does the "Boxer Burn" after pooping too. He too squeezes himself under the bed. I call him Houdini when he gets under there because I swear that he has to dislocate some bodyparts to manage it! I forgot, Jelly Bean is buried in the back yard, and there is a rock placed upon her tomb, Apollo will walk over towards it(can't get to it), he'll stop and acknowledge it as if to say hello, then move on.

Nylah does several things. 1) When playing with litter mate Davinci she drinks the water and when she's done she puts her paw in the bowl and scoops it out so Davinci won't get any 2) When eating she leaves her bowl and drops food all over the house as it falls out her mouth 3) She likes to pass gas then go across the room and sit back and laugh at you and 4) She loves to sneak in the kitchen and steal cookies, doughnuts and her fav Red Velvet cake.
Harlan will wait until i leave my bedroom and enter into the living room and leap off the back of couch and tackle me! I'm talkin full blown, all four legs wraped around me, all 60lbs of him tackle. I am a 264lb guy so that is quiet an experience! After said tackle he holds me down and licks my face!

Where do I begin? There are so many funny habits that Owen and Payton have!
Owen always does a Boxer burn after he poops. He greats us at the door with a toy in his mouth - he will NOT come say hello without one! Owen only walks along one side of the dinning room table to get to the back door - no matter what angle he's coming from. If you are sitting with one leg over the other he will step over the higher leg so that it's on his chest, if you don't move your foot to pet him, he will move himself back and forth along your foot! On our walks each night (only at night) he will grab his leash when we are about 40 feet from home and play tug-of-war all the way home. Owen will walk around all puddles.
Payton sleeps under the covers each night. When I am cleaning she grabs a toy and smushes into the side of me leg constantly until I take it and thow it for her - she does this over and over. Payton likes to proactively growl at the door, she will run to the door growling, look outside to see nothing is there and then walk away proud of herself! She stomps her back feet like a temper tantrum if she can't get her toy out from under the couch. If anyone sits on the floor Payton will sit on their lap.
I am sure there are MANY more that I am just used to and don't even realise that they are quirks!!!

Oops, I'm just getting the hang of the quote thing. Can someone explain to me how to do this? Scrappy does the same thing. Runs to the door growling and wagging AT NOTHING!! then looks proud of himself!!

Ms. Priss (AKA Abbi) will not drink out of the buckets of water or the faucet at the dog park. She has to drink out of the bottle of water that we bring in for her. I guess she doesn't realize that the water that is in that bottle came out of the same faucet that she won't drink out of and is the same water that is in the bucket! Either that, or she likes to be spoiled. Which one do you think it is??? HA! 
She will also jump in bed with us and nose her way under the covers and puuuuuuuush DH over to the very edge of the bed. As long as she's comfy, that's all that matters. Right???? One more thing: if we have our feet hanging off the edge of the couch cushions when we're laying down, Abbi will come over and straddle it. She's done this since she was a pup and she wants us to rub her belly with our foot. She'll stand there forever, getting rubbed, until our feet cramp up.
When either one of us are in the shower, Hayden will nose the curtain more than halfway open so he can drink the water. There have been a couple times where he's gotten a little overzealous and jumped right in the tub with us. And he eats bugs... On more than one occasion, he's come back in from the patio with legs from a crane fly sticking out of the front of his mouth. Or a praying mantis. :eek:

Well Bax does so many crazy little things but I think the cutest is when he wakes me up in the morning by digging at my legs and them headbutting me to get up. As soon as im awake he lays next to me and starts talking. Its so funny.....ill say something and he does this really strange sound like he is trying to get words out. If I laugh he gets insulted and barks. so cute

Well Clay does a summersault before he lays down...his head literally down ont he ground then the butt flops over. (its the funniest thing) Then everh time hes let out of his kennel the burns to the door goes out, but when he comes in he goes straight to his kennel and completely empties it. He takes his blanket and toys and drops them in the living room. Then hes settled enough for cuddles..
