There are few nuttier dogs than the ones we love. They do such sweet and weird things to amuse
us, and actually seem to know when they’ve made us laugh. Lately our dog Huckleberry has taken to
playing “Crazy Dog”. This consists of
grabbing a toy and for no apparent reason, racing from kitchen to bedroom,
scooting past us with tail tucked and ears flying, laughing in that gleeful way
of his. Back and forth he’ll go, just to
make us laugh.
Copper has a weird game too.
Recently when he had to wear “the cone of shame” after some scrape or
other, he discovered it made a great cat catcher. He’d stalk the cat and place the cone over
her, shut his eyes and let her bat at his muzzle in feline frustration. Eventually he’d let her go and he’d stalk her
again.
The all time goofiest though was our friend’s dog
Chloe. She loved to come across the
clothes dryer when the door had been left open.
This was the world’s greatest echo chamber, and she’d stick her head in
and give a mighty woof. The first time
the family heard this resounding, echoing woof, they came running to see what
sort of Hound of the Baskervilles had entered their house. There was Chloe, head in the dryer, wagging
her tail and woofing with gusto. She’d
pull her head out and laugh, then stick it back in to re-impress herself.
What are some funny games your dog likes to play?
