Weird Things The Dogs Do

Harley loves to have his ears rubbed. I mean, *loves* it. Well, Bark is a jealous little sucker and, when Harley starts his happy moan during an ear rub, Bark gets all in his face. So there's been few and far between ear rubs for the Harley. Guess he got tired of waiting, because the other night he woke me up with his moaning. Seems he figured that if no one else would rub his ears, he would, and he was deeply engrossed in rubbing his head on the floor.

Miranda is terrified of wind - to the point that, when the wind blows with some speed, she looks for a place to hide. Her old hiding place was under the bed - until her big butt broke all the support slats and the bed went on the floor. There's now a dog crate (covered with a blanket) next to the bed for hiding. Will she use it? Nope. Instead she pressed herself flat on the floor next to the bed on the theory that, if she can't see a window, the wind can't see her.

Elwood is convinced that jelly beans are special pills that make scary things go away. Seriously. When he's having a panic attack, he'll go to the bin where the jelly beans are kept and whine and nudge it with his nose until someone gives him two. I have no idea if jelly beans are bad for dogs, but they stop the panic attack so does it matter?

Sally is fairly normal except for one thing: she hates all non-white people. I have no clue where she learned that behavior since I didn't adopt her until she was about 4 years old. But let a non-white person walk down the sidewalk and she's out there, rooing and alerting her ass off.

And people think that dogs have no personality...
