    In another thread the subject got a bit off topic and folks started talking about the things their pets do...

    Does your pet do any "amazing" things?

    My dog is pretty smart and knows that her ball is an outside toy.. We tell her "the ball stays outside" and she'll leave it at the door... She can also distinguish between her ball and other toys.

    These aren't really "amazing" but pretty neat nonetheless....

    Please share your pet's abilities!!

    One of my cats will actually chase the kittens inside the house when we call them. He also gets them out of awkward spots. He'll take walks with us, and miaow if he thinks we're getting too close to dogs [​IMG]. The little sucker can also turn the TV on, since he likes the noise when nobody else is home.

    A different cat pees on our suitcases whenever we go on vacation. DOesn't like being left alone, I guess [​IMG]. He also runs away, if he can, thinking that we won't leave until he's back inside.

    When I was a kid I had a beagle/dachsund mix and my mother had a pekinese/pomeranian mix. My mom's dog would run amok if it was allowed outside without a leash. He would run all over the neighborhood and we'd have to chase him. My dog learned to walk my mother's dog. I would give him the leash and he would take the other dog around to trees to let him do his business. When my mom's dog was finished, my dog would sit in the yeard with the leash in his mouth and not let the other dog run away.

    My dogs are pretty stupid most of the time.

    They like to roll around in the dirt on hot days. Before they come in, I do this back and forth wiggle with my hand to simulate shaking and they have learned to shake the dirt off their coats when I do this. Sometimes they don't do it so they may just be stupid and shake because they are dirty...I dunno. I like to believe that I have taught them to shake by my hand gesture [​IMG].

    I have tried to teach my dogs to "get the ball" as they love to fetch tennis balls. However, they never get the ball. It just pisses me off. I have tried and tried. Therefore, the only conclusion I can draw is they have inhaled too much of my pot smoke and are just.....plain....stupid.

    Stupid is as stupid does...I guess.

    My dogs can hold it 'til I get home from work, and then pee like race horses. I think it's pretty amazing, 'cause I sure as hell can't hold it that long!

    Molly actively seeks out and kills tree roaches that dare to come into our house. We've awoken in the middle of the night to hear her sniffing away in the closet.

    She gets a biscuit everytime she catches one.

    Molly also will not go for a walk until you get her lease, and she insists on carrying it. I mean, I could be out the door and down the steps and she'll be standing at the door with a look like...hey stupid, you forgot the car keys.

    My Cat has better credit than I do. He also knows ho to open doors using the doorknob, and can switch roomlights off and on using the wall-switch.

    My pet, squirrel loves to lay at the foot of my bed and enjoys walks...I get constant compliments about how cute she is by all the neighbors when I'm out and about the neighborhood.

    ROXRAN: Have you ever had a problem with her? I thought that pet squirrels were dangerous to have?

    Isn't ROXRAN also the one who hunts and eats squirrels? And now he has one for a pet?

    Umm...that boy ain't right!

    I think they can be domesticated.

    Yes, RoxRan domesticates them himself. He holds a gun to its head and says: "Get domesticated or I'll put a bullet in your skull."

    The poor squirrel has no choice but to follow his orders.

    A little bit of <A HREF="http://web.wt.net/~psherr/squirrel_hazing.htm">hazing</a> will straighten out any squirrel.

    Ever seen that show "Rocko's Modern Life"? Remember the dog Sparky from that show and how he sat down? With his feet going up in the air? My dog does this, and I have proof.
