    Another Bugsy habit is desk surfing for receipts loves to eat them. He is obsessed with DH's reading glasses, no matter where he hides them Bugsy finds them

     
    Good luck come tax time!  Your dh won't be able to SEE the receipts he doesn't HAVE!! [:D]

    very true! Dh has taken to buying 4 packs of flexible reading glasses from Costco!

    He particularily needs to smell your face. All parts of your face.

     
    Caesar does this too! He sniffs all over my face but will not lick at all!  I even try to get him to lick my face and he won't - he'll only do it once early in the morning right when he's woken up.
     
    I love hearing about all the dog "quirks" - it's very reassuring [:D]
     
    Here's my list:  Caesar sounds like he is being strangled when he sees a squirrel.  Honestly, I am embarrassed to walk him sometimes and have seen people peek out their windows to see what is going on.  It's the loudest bark/strangled cry I've ever heard.  He also likes to bark at random people or dogs walking by the front window. 
     
    He's obsessed with food (which helps with training) but he is a horrible begger and has been known to be so bold as to sit right in front of the person eating and stretch his tongue out as far as he can to try to lick the plate without moving his head forward.
     
    He goes nutso when he sees animals on t.v., any animal, and starts barking. I never watch animal planet when he's in the room.  He does really like the Simpson's for some reason and will watch a whole episode [:D]

    Yay for all the Bad Dogs!
     
    Ace is leash aggressive to other dogs.  When he's on leash, strangers make him nervous, too.  He's an incorrigible ;puller on the leash.  He refuses to wear a head halter. 
     
    He is obsessed with playing fetch.  Especially when people come over, he'll spend the entire time pleading for them to throw his toys for him and generally making a fetch-begging nuisance of himself.  Of course, he's so darned cute about it that almost everyone gives in and ends up being his ball slave. 
     
    He thinks moose are giant gangly playmates and will chase them, play bow, bark, and run around in circles trying to initiate play with them.  He believes moose poop to be a delicious delicacy. 
     
    He knows where the car is parked at the dog park, and sometimes he will just stop listening to me and take off running the other way when we approach the parking lot, because he doesn't want to go home yet. 
     
    When he gets to play off-leash with his doggie friend Miles, they sometimes go tearing through the woods and transform into Bad Recall Dogs.

    This is such a reassuring thread.  It's also got me laughing out loud.  It actually got mme brave enough to take Grady to the bark park & not expect him to be perfect.  He found a playmate who was perfectly suited for him & his play style.  Anyway, this thread is making me realize that it's not manditory that Grady be perfect to take him to the bark park.  I just need to know his issues & make sure he's not confronted with any of his triggers; at least for now.
