Here's an excerpt from a San Jose newspaper about silly little obsessive/compulsive behaviors that dogs have. I love this one;

"Since we first got her, Seren has slept on a dog bed in our bedroom. Linda knitted her a blanket which, when folded, fits exactly on her bed.


To our astonishment the dog demands that the blanket be free of wrinkles. When we are ready for bed ourselves, she examines the blanket carefully. If it has a wrinkle anywhere on it she refuses to use it!


Instead, she will settle down next to our bed and make whining sounds until we smooth out the blanket. When she lies down, she carefully settles down so as not to wrinkle the blanket."


Listen, nothing would please me more than to have all you internetting people send me real life documentation of these types of behaviors in your own dogs. So, if you have silly stories, even photography or video of your dog doing something totally ridiculous, PLEASE SEND IT TO m@dropthatsock.com, or use the comment link to post your two cents. It is what makes me wake up every morning and have the strength to fight off the entire world. Help me to live. Send in your experiences!

Hank, my granddog, has a habit of letting us know when he likes something he has just eaten by licking his right thigh. For instance, the other day I gave him a piece of an orange (he has never tasted oranges before). I knew he liked it because he started to lick his thigh after a second or so. Weird and always funny!
