My dog is quite a character. Her best quality is probably her ability to be subtle beyond all belief

Whenever she wants food that you're eating, she'll come press her head as far and as hard as she can into your lap, stare up at you, and whine as loud as she can.

She also likes to wrestle a lot. I was laying on the floor watching TV the other night, when she comes bounding into the room, takes a running leap, lands smack on my chest, and then starts nibbling on my nose.

I also know that mine and a lot of other dogs like t chew on people's hands in a playful manner. I was sitting on a chair with one arm just dangling at my side. She began to nip at my hand, and finally took the thing in her mouth. That didn't bother me. It was the fact that she became preoccupied with looking out the window, completely forgetting she had my hand in her mouth.

hopefully your pet doesn't get TOO distracted and mistake your hand for a nice juicy steak lol

Pets are funny. seriously funny. My yorkie has a paper bag fetish. I cannot get into the house with a grocery bag without him going into a fullblown spaz attack. jumping and barking and spinning in circles and just generally growling for that bag to be dumped of its contents and thrown into the air.

After tackling it to the ground, wrestling with it, gnarling like a dog gone mad berzerk he'll drag it in front of anyone in the room, dive in and out of it (occasionally smacking into a wall) then finally sit in there and wait for someone to pick it up by the handles (Ralph's grocery bags have handles) to drag him around. ignoring this spectacle is futile as he will whine relentlessly until you do.

This is weird: my cat likes to jump in the shower with people. She doesn't like to get wet, so she stays behind the shower curtain, but she jumps right in there with you.
Actually, she's my boyfriend's cat- the first time she did that while I was showering I nearly had a heart attack.

My dog doesn't like bags too much, but loves new pants

Whenever you bring home a new pair of pants, she can sense it. She follows around whoever has the bag until they open it. And when they take it out, she gets a huge grin on her face and jumps around (usually on the pants )

She also can never pass up a swipe at food. I was holding a donut while looking for a CD one day. All of a sudden I felt a tug on it, and she had half of the donut in her mouth.
