My dog has dog dreams ...

So my dog does this thing every once in a while. He will be fast asleep, laying on his side in any ol' place he chooses. All the sudden, I will hear this high-pitched, repetative whimpering sound. When I tip-toe over to check on him, he is twitching. It's hilarious to watch. He just lays there, eyes closed, twitching and whimpering. He must be having some fantastic dream about chasing a cat or squirrels or birds or something.

What sort of quirky things do your dogs do, MFP? I want to know what makes your dog unique!

    My dog licks EVERYTHING. Like her tongue is never in her mouth. She licks the couch, the air, the walls, you name it.

    Lol, is your dog a pug, or something otherwise brachycephalic?

    My dog pretends to kill his rubber chicken or cloth bone toy. Also, he snores.

    My dog attacked me and I almost lost my eye. He's dead now.

    My dog has dog dreams too! The other night I heard him do two little barks in his sleep. It was funny. And he snores. LOUD.

    He also loves to "attack" feet. I don't know why but he just loves to go after them. Sometimes if I'm standing at the counter he'll come up behind me and put me in a leg lock and just start chewing on my ankle.

    When we go to take him out to potty he will do at least a thousand spins on his way down the hallway which is hilarious.

    He hates the "Gangham Style" dance and goes apesh*t if I start doing.

    He also has figured out how to spell, mind read and figure out the looks my husband I give each other when we're going to walk him. It's really freaky.

    My dog does the exact same thing...but my dog is dreaming about bicthes not birds and squirrels. I know this for a FACT!

    Mine does too but I'm always worried that she's having a nightmare so I wake her up. Lol. She must hate me.

    My dog lets out the silent but definitely violent dog farts...you know where all you hear is a whoosh type noise and then all of a sudden the paint starts to peel off the walls.

    He is also afraid of the vacuum, yep 120 pound Rotweiler totally chicken of the vacuum. Every time we break it out he all of a sudden has something to do down in the basement!

    My dog attacks the vacuum. I actually have fun taking the attachment and I'll chase him around the kitchen with it. And no, I'm not being mean or cruel. He loves it because I'll duck down and hide from him and he'll come creeping and peek around the corner to see where I am and then go ape and run away.

    My dogs will start running in their sleep and sound like they are chasing rabbits. They are beagles, so they are obsessed with chasing rabbits and squirrels. One of the dogs MUST greet me with a present whenever I come home. She runs and grabs a stuffed animal and brings it to me. She is clearly a vicious killer in her own mind (even though she loves belly rubs) :-)

    My rottweiler chases birds....but he runs with his head straight up in the air and smacks into trees b/c he's too busy looking at the birdie. He also stares at me for an uncomfortable amount of time crying for no reason.

    It doesn't matter if I leave the house for 3 minutes or 3 hours the second my dog, Hannah (pug cross with a cocker spaniel), sees me walking up to the house her first instinct is to grab a toy/bone/sock/anything that can go in her mouth and she'll run around the house with it whining as loud as she can.. She'll be so excited that she can hardly take a second to drop the the thing in her mouth to lick & kiss & hug me.. It's adorable. She totally makes my day, everyday.

    My dog brought one of my bras downstairs and gave it to the postman.

    My dog does lot of weird *kitten*. She's a weird dog. She may be about 80% cat actually.

    Probably the weirdest thing is some of the noises she makes. If I've been gone too long (she knows if I am three minutes late home from work) she will make a noise like Chewbacca.

    I run from women waving mechanical attachment too! Smart dog.

    My dog frightens the mailman so that my mail doesn't get put through mail slot. Pisses me off, it's left on the porch. My dog also does this thing that when I'm trying to get my foster dog to come into the house, she will run out, get the dog to chase her and lead the foster dog into the house. Unfortunately my new foster is not falling for this.

    My cat does this!

    He will be sleeping on his side, then must start dreaming about running, because his arms and legs are going like there is no tomorrow. Then he stops and twitches a little and goes back to his deep sleep.

    My dogs come cuddle up to me, let out stinky carpet bomb farts and then run away....true story. And the little one goes outside to do her business but when it's time to come in she goes into dumb mode and sits in the yard staring at me blankly.
