Arthur follows me into the bathroom because he always wants one square of toilet paper. Eats it like a treat! The vet said the stuff is designed to disintegrate & won't hurt the boy - but how silly is that?
What funny habits?

Indy drives me crazy when he drinks his water he drinks a little walks out and gets water all over my floor goes back in and gets a little more water. Sometimes he will go back and forth 5 or 6 times. I usually stand there a try to dry his mouth off each time.
He also loves towels from the hamper. When I am sorting clothes he can't wait until I start dropping towels. He snorts and rolls in them. I have to fight them away so I can wash them. Once they are clean he wants nothing to do with them.

charlee does sooo many quirky things...just tonight my BF got home from work and charlee was up on the bed. BF started jumping up and down and charlee mimicked his behavior. i was laughing so hard i was crying. he'll also go outside and rip the grass out of the ground and spit it out..over, and over, and over again. luckily we live in an apartment so we don't have to worry about it 
also, whenever BF gets home they'll have a long conversation about what both of them did that day. adorable!...he'll walk himself back into the apartment after a walk, jumps up at the end of the leash and grabs it from me to trot back inside with it in his mouth like he's the coolest thing in the world. he sunbathes too, if we're laying on the bed he'll stare at the window until i open the blinds so the sun comes in...what a goof

Where do I begin....
Well Hanky does his food like some of the others on here, he gets a mouthful and walks away with it and leaves SEVERAL pieces on the floor around the kitchen. Which by the way, hurts when you step on them barefooted.
He also has this thing when we sleep. He has slept under the covers since day one, but sometimes he gets hot or thirsty at night and gets up. When he gets back to the bed if we don't feel him get up there and not raise the covers to let him back in, he puts his cold, wet nose to ours and snorts! Not the greatest thing to get woken up by.
When I sit on the couch, there is still alot of space left, but noooo, he has to be right under my butt. Believe me, if I move an inch, he keeps scootin' like he has so much room too.
This is his newest quirk though. Since we've moved we have acquired a gas heater. He thinks that EVERY time it kicks on that he has to be on his bed or humped up right in front of it. God forbid I stand there and try to warm myself up. The look says it all.

Haha Harley takes a mouthful of food and walks away with it about half the time. The other half, he wont look up from his bowl until all the food's gone, unless you offer him better food.
When I sit down, he climbs right up and plops himself down in a way that I'm sure is comfortable for HIM, but couldnt be more UNcomfortable for me. :(
I have a full sized bed, which seems like it would be more than enough room for the two of us. But no. I sleep on the outside (which maybe I shouldnt do) and I get pushed so far over that I have to get up and physically move the sleeping Harley over so I have more room. And when I share a bed with someone else? Forget comfort.

If I am sitting on the couch to watch tv, Diesel will climb up behind me so he is draped across my shoulders, with most of his body on the back of the couch (thank God). If someone comes down the stairs, he turns to look, by placing his big old head on top of mine, like a boxer hat. Silly boy!

Indie loves the squeaker that is found in soft toys. If I pull the squeaker out of a toy and show her - she pulls a face as though all her christmas' have come at once 
it is so funny to watcher her! Thinking of just buying a bag of them - can you imagine her face then

Crazy habits? Where to begin?
As soon as the BF gets out of bed, even for just a moment, Oscar takes his spot and looks at him like "What?!"
If we stay up too late, Oscar will come by where we are, woo woo, and then walk to the bedroom and lie down. And repeat until we follow.
Rufus has to get out all of his toys and spread them out on the floor to see which one he wants to play with
When it's lunch time, Oscar will walk away down the hall 2 times and then come back to his food
We give the boys filtered water but good grief, if we don't leave the toliet seat up we won't hear the end of it
So many more, I'm sure I'm missing a few.

Kuzco does the same thing! Kronk, however, can hardly contain himself when it's feeding time. We usually make him sit and he will often do so before we even tell him to, just so we'll hurry up and put the food in the bowl. But he's barely sitting and is constantly wiggling and drooling. When we release him to eat, it's as if he's in the Indy 500. If he doesn't eat in 5 seconds flat he'll lose his food or something. On the other hand, Kuzco usually just wanders around and doesn't even bother to start eating until Kronk is done. I think it started as a domination thing, so he could protect his food and show Kronk that he won't let him have it. He has much less interest in food over all than Kronk.
Speaking of them hearing the "sound of food". Kronk can hear a banana being peeled from the other side of the house! It's impossible to have one without him beside you waiting for a bite.
As for letting them out to go potty, Kuzco is happy outside and will immediately go to the dog run to go potty if he has to go. Kronk has to be encouraged, or rather "forced". He hates to be outside without his humans and will look at you with those big miserable eyes like, "Do I HAVE to?" And, "You're not going to close the door while I'm gone and force me to be stuck out here for any longer than absolutely necessary are you?"
