What are some Silly/Stupid things your pets do?

My indoor cat has managed to get herself stuck 30ft high in a tree. How she even got outside I don't know. Rather than comming down, she's been up there since 8 this morning - nearly 7 hours - meowing and clinging onto dear life. I put a can of tuna down so hopefully she gets a move on or I might have to make the dreaded phone call to the fire department "Excuse me, I have a cat stuck in my tree..". I'm sure that would go over splendidly well. :P

With this in mind, what are some silly/stupid/somewhat frustrating things that your pets do or have done in the past?

My dog also has a good habit of walking face first into things. And he's endlessly happy about it.

Moonikins, I think we may be related.  We like the same books, movies, dogs, etc. 

We love chocolate labs.  I love Pit bulls, but our oldest one died last year, and our youngest had severe people aggression and dog aggression issues. She was a rescue and we never knew how she was treated before us, so we are back to having a Lab.  I guess she is showing her aggression by eating everything that belongs to me.

Warning - I'm one of those people who can tell pet stories for hours.

Our female, Mable, is the funniest dog.  She's 75 lbs of creampuff.  If she's bored, she stands on her head on the couch so that she's looking out between her back legs.  The whole time her mouth is open in that wide, pitt bull smile and she's breathing like Darth Vader.  

She gobbles like a turkey.  Apparently that's a pitt bull thing.

She carries around a two inch square of cardboard sometimes.  We've no idea where she found it or where she hides it but she doesn't chew it or anything.  She just carries it around sometimes. 

Our male, Woody, is my buddy.  He follows me around everywhere but he walks in front of me to try to anticipate where I'm going.  He knows my routine, especially in the morning, so he usually gets it right. 

Woody loves to humiliate me.  One time he ate most of a box of tissues and decided to dispose of the twisted little cork-screw mess when some people from the city were out checking the storm drain on our property.  The tissues got stuck and one of the city guys told me.  I had to get a sturdy stick to pin the tissues to the ground so they would pull out when Woody ran away. 

My husband shaves his head and both dogs love to lick his head.   It's a little creepy to me, though, because they look off into space like they're thinking about something else.  It sort of feels like they're acting like dogs to fool us into thinking they're dogs and not, say, dangerous robots. 

he's the newest...one of our dogs is half cocker spaniel and like many of the breed, his eyes can water so we need to wash his face.  Our other dog gets jealous and when I am  done he comes over and  stands there face up waiting for me to wash his face too!

 My exhusband introduced me to labradors. I'd never been around them before. They are such wonderful dogs. I prefer the bigger breeds anyways because I can't stand high-pitched yapping. I've had black and yellow ones.

Bunker is doing well after her surgery. She's 6 and the vet kept her overnight as a precaution. She's very happy to be back home.

Can you believe that 4 pain pills cost $28.00? Outrageous.

Back when Cupcake was a kitten and I was cat-sitting her sister too, the two of them would nurse off my other MALE cat, Mosquito. It was becoming somewhat problematic, as they were sucking the fur right off his little boy-nipples and causing them to bleed. So I called the vet, they never heard of such a thing and were quite tickled.

I tried to stop them but they'd do it on the sly...sometimes I'd wake up at night to the sound of sucking, I'd turn on the light and they'd look at me all guilty-like....and Mosquito would be lying there with a I-dunno, whadda-ya-gonna-do look, if he could have shrugged his shoulders I am sure he would have

When Cupcake's sister went back home, it stopped for the most part...I guess the other kitten was the bad influence :)
