    Text I have a three month old pup who got dirt in her eye one day. Th eye kept tearing up and she held it partilly shut for a few hours. During that time I felt really bad for her and handed out a lot of treats. Since then, when I am eating, she begs by winking that eye with a tiny whimper. Her wink is nonstop. If she's called by someone else in the home she looks at them with perfect eyes. I get the "broken eye" Once she gets the goods -fully workin

    Text Thad a big home, I could not carry him, but my husband could. The dog HATED going potty in the house, so he quickly learned to walk outside with walking and jumping down the steps UNLESS his daddy was home. Then he couldn't move. Just sit and whine and cry pathetically until daddy carried dog that got hit by a car. He ended up losing his front leg. This dog was a pupper. Easily 80 pounds. Once he came me. Three weeks in, he was him He got busted one day w

    Text We had a Dachshund growing up and he could tell when my mom was going to have a seizure. He would start circling her over and over, barking. Ironically, he ended up with epilepsy himself but it didn't shorten his lifespan. They helped each other out. He lived 17.5 years! I miss that dog. Edited to add: My mom had epilepsy since she was 15. Unrelated to dog, which she got in her 30's. Our dog wasn't trained. He just did it

    Text Everyday when my brother and I pull in the driveway from school we can see our dog on my brothers bed in the window above the garage, where he knows he isn't allowed to be. When we walk into the house he is laying behind the living room couch and picks his head up and looks at us like he's been sleeping there all day

    Text When I get asked to do some things, I'll groan jokingly and do the thing anyway. Now, when I call my dog while she was sleeping or if I accidentally nudge her at the foot of the bed, then she groans with attitude like I would Kind of adorable, kind of freaky.

    Text Growing up, I had a yard that was surrounded by fence except at the entrance where the cars came in at the front. My dog knew she wasn't allowed to go outside the yard so when we'd call her and she was out gallavanting, she would go to the neighbor's yard in the back, hop the fence and come back over then strut around the back side to the front like day I was walking 'hey, I've been been here the whole time!' I only found out because one around the hous

    Text I have two horses, Red, and Mickey. They are yarded next to each other, and there is enough of a gap in the fence that a clever horse may work out that they can just manage to pinch the others hay through it. Red took it a step further and realised that if he could steal Mickey's hay, Mickey could steal his... So he waits until Mickey is distracted by his bucket feed, and then Red takes his own hay from his own feeder and deposits it across the yard

    Text We were looking after a friends dog. We came home from work in the evening with a huge pile of dirt by the front door. The dog (unlike every other time we came home) the couch looking very guilty about something (you know the look). It took us forever to figure out where the dirt came from. We had an old flower pot downstairs on a shelf. The pot had been emptied by the front door and the pot returned to the shelf like nothing had happened was lying on

    Text My dog knows my caller ID. I sometimes need to call home from my cell, and our home phone "speaks" the incoming call's caller ID. The only time my dog ever howls is when I call and the answering machine says my ID. She's done it when my mom is off somewhere else in the house and can't hear the phone ringing. She doesn't do it for any other phone call, even if I'm not home. I also tried calling while I'm still home to see if I can get her to howl,

    Text My cat figured out how to fill up my bathtub. He learned how to close the drain and would turn the water handle and would just sit there and watch the tub slowly fill up. It took me weeks to figure out what was going on

    Text Not current pet but a dog I had as a teenager. Dog jumps up on the couch "No, you're not allowed on the couch, go lie in your bed" Dog leaves the room. A moment later he returns with his bed and throws it on the couch Gets back up on the couch in his bed and stares at me. "... Fair enough..."

    Text One of my cats learned how to turn the internet off. I mean, he realized everbody goes crazy when he goes behind the TV stand and messes up with the wires. So when we're not paying enough attention to him (usually if we're on our phones or the computer), he just unplugs the router. I don't think he knows how much power he has

    Text Every morning for breakfast I always eat fruit and that weekend there was a farmers market selling fruit for cheap so I bought a TON. I couldn't fit them in the fridge so I left a few bags on the side in the dining (reachable distance) room I shit you not, I woke up and was surprised to see an days, my dog would get up in the morning, go in the bag, and get a fruit to put next to me on the bed. He proceeded to do this for the next two weeks until we r

    Text When my dad was having a difficult time in life he moved into my apartment. He's really into sports and mostly deaf so when he enthusiastically cheers for his beloved Detroit Tigers, he doesn't realize how loud he is. One early evening while I was asleep (because work midnights) the Tigers scored or something and my dad loses his mind, which woke me and my cat up. I grumbled and closed my eyes but my cat Mike, was not having it. She walked into the

    Text My cat was sleeping on her cat tree when I walked over to look through stuff on the table next to the tree. I scratched her on the head and woke her up, then turned away to do whatever it was I was there for. I felt a tap on my shoulder, so I turned around and as soon as I was facing the cat she reached out and smacked me across the face. She then went back to sleep.

    Text Not so much worrying as it is somewhat annoying and funny, but my golden will walk up to the Xbox, look at the Xbox button, boop it with his nose and wait for the light to turn on and the chime to sound, and then just walk away all satisfied looking. For a couple of months I would come home from work and notice the Xbox was on but know I had turned it off. I accused my fiancée of leaving it on until one day I was in the next room and heard the chime. So I
