Your doodle's strange routines

[J and Riley (and Luna)]

Does your doodle have any odd routines that you find entertaining (or annoying)?

 

Share them!  I would love to hear about how other peoples' little creatures of habit go about their day.  Photo evidence is a plus!

 

Here are a few of Luna's:

 

- Before she goes to sleep in her own bed, she demands some cuddle time up on her bed.  She can't get up there herself, so she stands on her hind legs and paws at the covers until the skyhook (tall 2-legged dog) takes her up.

- She MUST go outside before her morning meal, but doesn't do anything.  She just stands on the deck for 5 seconds and comes back in.  (2 months and 8 months, same spot)

- Before coming all the way down the stairs, she ALWAYS sits in this spot and has to be tempted down further with the promise of play, food or interesting kitchen noises:  (4 months and 8 months.. same spot and yes - she always sits like that)

Every night, Sunny waits for me to lift her onto our bed, take her collar off, turn the light out and snuggle for at least half an hour before she moves away from me (I get too hot) and curls up to go to sleep. If I don't lift her up, she won't jump up but she will nudge my hand and stare at me. If I don't take her collar off, she shakes it and stands up in the bed over me until I take it off. If I don't snuggle her, she lies directly on top of me or she snuggles up next to me and keeps wiggling until I put my hand on her and pet her.

 

I think it reinforces our close bond!

That is SO sweet!

[Dani and Scout]

Love reading these! Scout barks before he makes his way down the steps, stops and sits, and barks again when he resumes his trek. Kind of annoying when it's morning!

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

He's asking for a lift!!

So funny and cute, cute, cute!!!

[Pat and Traveler]

What a funny habit!  At least you know when he's coming...  :)

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

Every morning Myla will sit next to my head in bed and thake her right paw and hit me, over and over and over!

Sometimes  mess with her and put the blanket over my head and snore, she gets mad ans starts to chew on the sheets. As soon as my arm is clear she does a huge flip practically on my face to get a belly rub then jumps up and starts pawing me again until I get up. Then Chloe crawls out from under our bed and jumps up and rubs her face all over to get the boogies out of her eyes. Then we can go feed them. When done Choe walks away and Myla scrounges the carpet and licks BOTH boths searching for crumbs. Then we go outside and Chloe runs to her corner of the couch and zonks out, Myla finds toys she wants and one by one takes her favorites up on the couch and falls asleep with them. No kidding exact thing everyday! Chloe goes fo walks and most of the walk is on her hind legs looking for peopls and cats she knows. Also everytime daddy sits down to watch a movie at night she will run to the door and bark (even if they got back just 10 minutes ago!) Then the movie gets paused until they come back and DH complains that she does this on purpose and I say well maybe she's as sick of Netflix as I am???? When we come home Myla jums all over and Chloe waits in the nackground, Myla will run and pick up a toy and shake it as I pet her and say hi then Chloe comes running and puts her paws up on you over and over like she's trying to push you over and then flips for a belly rub! They are so predictable. Chloe will go to bed with us for about a half hour and then she decides to jump down and sleep UNDER our bed!! I'm sure there's a ton more routines that I'm not thinking of yet. Very cute photos and I love the way she sits on the stairs.

Bella has to have a stuffed toy in her mouth ( or a sock) when ever she greets anyone.She is always carrying socks around the house, never chews them, but loves to carry them all the time.She'll also come up to you if you are sitting down and just plop her face on you to get some scratches.
