So, Armitage... why have you been getting horses drunk? eh? :p

Nope - that was my uncle, a long time ago and far away.

My dog loves golf balls. Will chase them for hours. Might have something to do with the fact that I've got dozens lying around. Ace catching a golf ball.

My cat, on the other hand, gnaws on my dogs huge chew-toy bones. She works them over more than him, and she eats at least half of his food too. Not fat yet, but she will be eventually.

Thanks ... he's a mutt from the rescue society. He was abandoned outside a department store dumpster with 5 litter mates. The rest were already adopted, but our hungry little ah heck ate a plastic bag, and struggled to 'pass it'. Ended up in the hospital, and a recovery time in a foster home when we found him.

Had him for a couple of months, then he contracted parvo virus, which almost killed him. Since he recovered from that, he's been brilliant health-wise, and we like to joke he is made of hockey-puck rubber :)

We think he's black lab + rotteweiler + some kind of cattle dog (bordie collie maybe)?

cool. we got hercules from the shelter, and hes been great. no health issues, so far. he did steal a chicken breast once, and vomited all over the house. some nice bloody chunks, too. but we gave him a day and a half since we realized what had happened to have a bm, and that went ok, so we never took him to the vet.

the other dog, hogan, my wife picked up from a patient at the eye doctor she works for. we are his 3rd owner, and the previous 2 kept him in a cage when they werent home, which was all day for both of them. theres no way i can do that to a dog, even if they do eat all my underroos.

One of my good friend has a spaniel that looooves balls, he loves chasing them and he just plain loves them. He loves them so much in fact that when you throw the ball he will run and get it, run back to you, shove the ball to you, wagging his tail so much that his back is being thrown around but he will not let go with his mouth when you try to grab it. It's so funny and so sad and so cute.

ahahah we need some pics and photochop skills.

All I have right now is a video that needs to be lightened up a bit... we've also got another video of him desperately trying to hump a balloon that was bigger than he was.

I know a kitten (belongs to a friend) that can leap meters up into the air and snatch a fly or other insect out of the air with its paws.

Hmm...one of my mom's cats will go absolutely crazy for cantaloupe (or at least used to)...if he smells it (if you're cutting it or something), he'll run over and wait until you give him a piece...I always thought that was kinda weird :p

Our Jack Russell Terrorist loves to kill anything in sight including humans. Have to put on the "Hannibal Lecter" muzzle whenever we walk him.

I have a stunt cat: He will drop down on your shoulders if you are not paying attention, in my kitchen(above the cabinets.) He starts to howl and run back and forth as you walk around the kitchen and he waits for you to call him . Then he proceeds to leap blindly into the air and expects you to catch him. It gets crazy in my kitchen when I have something hot in my hands and he is antsy to fly!

This psycho also will let you hold him(My wife and I carry him around the house quite a bit) and bring him up to the freezer so he can go in and pull out an ice cube to play with.He will actually climb in the freezer and pull ice out of the tray. Then he drops it on the floor and waits for you to throw it and he fetches it like a dog and brings it back to you. One crazy kitty.

He absolutely loves pretzels, bread, and anything starchy.

Unfortunately we found out last week that he has stomach cancer and we now have to start chemo on him. Vet seems to think that he has at least two years if not longer , so we will see.


Peace

Our JR Terrier, Rocky, does not want to kill anything except 1/2 and 1 liter water bottles. He rips the top to shreds over time, crunches them and tosses them about.
When he gets called away, they are always left standing. We refer to it as his drinking problem.
He loves the UPS, fedex, and mail delivery folk. He respectfully takes any treat from them, conceals it in his mouth, and goes back to thank them several times.

Then he takes the treat away to be buried and NEVER eaten!
if he gets a treat at the bank or other driveup window, he will "bury" it in antyhing available in the car, including good thoughts and intentions. So long as he goes through the motions of scraping something over it, it is "buried" as far as he is concerned.
