Hi, I’m Savanna! Read my introduction to be taught extra about me and my spunky Chihuahua combine, Penny.
Dogs can actually rise up to some loopy antics, and Penny is not any exception. She’s at all times doing the craziest issues that maintain me entertained. Most of the issues she does, I don’t suppose she has any concept that they’re humorous to me. She’s simply being a canine.
Penny’s persona actually is one thing else and I by no means know what she’ll do subsequent. But there are different issues she does fairly constantly that at all times get a chuckle out of me. Here are the foolish issues my canine does to make me chortle.
The 8 Funny Things Penny Does:
1. She Sits in Weird Positions
I don’t have quite a lot of expertise with canine possession, however I do understand how a canine is often supposed to take a seat, and it sometimes entails having all 4 paws flat on the ground. It looks like Penny doesn’t understand how a canine is meant to take a seat although, or she simply sits how she’s most comfy.
She loves to take a seat along with her tail beneath her, along with her again legs splayed out and both each entrance paws resting between them or with one on all sides of her proper leg. It’s undoubtedly not essentially the most lady-like place, and I don’t see the way it’s comfy. But similar to Corgis like to sploot, Penny loves to take a seat this manner.
2. She Says “Pfft” a Lot
One of my favourite books is Travels with Charley: In Search of America by John Steinbeck. He talks about touring round America along with his Poodle named Charley. But one of many strains that caught out to me was when Steinbeck mentioned his canine may pronounce the letter F. I wasn’t certain what he meant by that, till I heard Penny go “Pfft” for the primary time.
She normally does it to precise displeasure or to complain that we didn’t throw her toy quick sufficient. She certain has quite a lot of complaints for somebody that has her each want taken care of and lives at our home rent-free. I suppose that’s what’s so humorous about it.
3. She’s Afraid of Lizards and Birds
It’s undoubtedly not humorous that Penny is afraid of issues, as a result of none of us wish to see our canine scared. But it’s humorous what she’s frightened of. We have three totally different sorts of lizards at our home, however each time Penny sees one working towards her, her eyes get vast and she or he runs away. I don’t know if it’s their pace or what, nevertheless it’s hilarious as a result of she may do much more hurt to lizards than lizards may do to her.
She’s additionally afraid of birds. This one is a bit more comprehensible as a result of she’s a small canine and we do have some pretty big birds like hawks and owls close to our home. But she appears extra afraid of small birds, and it began when she was a pet and a flock of 100+ blackbirds landed in our yard, inflicting fairly the cacophony. She refused to go outdoors till the following morning, and now she’s afraid of even one small chicken that she sees in our yard.
She loves caterpillars, butterflies, and bees although, and I’m at all times having to remind her to not eat bees as a result of they’re “spicy.”
4. She Gets the Zoomies
Of course, Penny makes me chortle for a similar cause that every one our canine make us chortle. She will get the zoomies. She’s a fairly lazy canine usually, so when she will get the zoomies, it’s normally as a result of she both has to poop or she simply pooped. Either approach, when she will get them, I say “Do you could have the zoomies?” She runs to the again door, and after I let her out, she runs round the very same path three or 4 occasions earlier than working again to the door (or pooping if she must).
5. She Cheats at Races
Speaking of working, Penny at all times cheats each time I attempt to race her. If I can’t get her to return again inside, all I’ve to do is say “I’ll race you!” She bows down, I say, “On your mark, get set…” and she or he at all times takes off earlier than I may even say “Go!” Penny at all times beats me again to the door, however she most likely would anyway even when she didn’t get a head begin. It’s fairly humorous to look at her go all out simply to win, even when it means dishonest.
6. She Cleans the Bathtub
What do I imply by that? Anytime I get out of the tub or bathe, Penny has to leap in (nicely, moderately be picked up and put in) there and lick the remaining water off the underside after it drains. I at all times discover this extraordinarily amusing, since she hates the bath when it’s her flip.
But possibly she simply needs to verify she will get each final little bit of water up so I don’t drown the following time I get in there. Who is aware of? But I get a kick out of it each time.
7. She Goes Spelunking
Penny likes to burrow into blankets, and she or he sleeps beneath the covers at evening. Sometimes we get up at evening as a result of she’s burrowed all the best way to the foot of the mattress. One evening my husband requested her if she was going spelunking (the act of exploring caves), and she or he got here crawling out. So now we at all times say she’s going spelunking each time she burrows to the foot of the mattress.
It really makes me nervous as a result of I’m afraid she’s going to suffocate, so I at all times transfer her again as much as the highest. But it’s humorous to image Penny carrying somewhat mining hat with a flashlight on it and going “spelunking.”
8. She Rolls Around on Dead Worms
I do know a lot of dogs roll around in stinky stuff, however Penny’s favourite factor to roll round on is lifeless worms. We have quite a lot of earthworms in our yard, and Penny at all times finds the lifeless and dried up ones. It’s humorous to look at her roll round within the grass flailing her physique about to choose up the “pungent” scent. I don’t thoughts as a result of they don’t make her really stink, and there’s far worse issues she may roll round in.
Dogs Are So Funny, Even if They Don’t Know It
There are simply a number of the many ways in which Penny makes me chortle, and possibly your canine do a few of them, too? It’s at all times enjoyable to see what our canine rise up to and all of the methods they’re humorous with out even attempting to be!
