Let's hear about some of your DS's quirks!

I keep a big water bowl on Geyser's food mat in the kitchen, always full of fresh water (we have wonderful well water here). In the bathroom, I keep a much smaller bowl for the kitties. They don't drink a lot of water, but I want it available when they want it.

The two bowls contain the same damn water...freshened as needed daily.

Which water bowl does Geyser prefer? You guessed it, the kitties' bowl. She will walk from the kitchen to the bathroom to drink from that bowl, with the same water available in the kitchen . Go figure

Well, my cat would never drink out of her water bowl, no matter how fresh I'd keep it. He preferred the toilet. Then when we got Sugar, he would drink out of her water dish. And he hates the dog. Whats that about?

She just prefers the privacy of the bathroom
Dingo only drinks from the bowl in winter, during summertime it's pond-water only

Ivil has a funny thing, she always covers her eyes with a paw if she is really comfy and cosy

Another stupid thing, they go ballistic, especially dingo, when they hear the scene from Pirates of the Carribean where Davy Jones says "Do YOU fear death?" to Jack Sparrow

Yes! Wild Water, is what I call it...they sure do love the streams and ponds...

So, do you watch that movie a lot?

hmm, ill have to think about Thalies quirks, she is pretty easy going and laid back. Sadie is one big quirk.

We can't anymore...

Some people's kids, eh?

Jetson sleeps on his back with his legs in the air I can never get a picture though because I'm not as stealthy as I'd like to think I am, and always manage to wake him before I can sneak up with the camera.

lol!!! GWen sleeps all twisted up on her back too and you're right... I can never sneak up on her to get a picture. She also has to get up at night or whenever to go to the bathroom with me... it is like having a child...

Chaos does that too. If she can, she will prop herself up against something while she sleeps upside-down.

She also grumbles a lot. She's especially vocal as she's going to sleep. She groans and sighs like an old man.

"Wild water" (I love this phrase) is her ultimate favorite thing. She will do anything to get in t and then run around like a crazed animal. She also likes grass above her head so she can fling her body through it like a kangaroo-dog.

Chaos use her paws like hands, a lot. I'm not sure if this is a DS quirk but I love it. She doesn't catch toys with her moth, she catchers them with her paws and shoves them in her mouth.

That is funny!

Hows this for a quirk: When it rains and all the worms come out onto the pavement, Sugar will want to lay her neck down on them and roll on them....sometimes she comes up with worms stuck to her fur!

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww really? Thats too funny

I know...gross eh? It's only with worms too. Totally weird.

Overhere the frogs are waking up from winter-sleep... and I remembered Ivil's idiot quirk....she licks them And no, they are not the hallucnating type frogs, but she probabely read that somewhere and is trying them all out just to be sure...

And, yuck to the worms!

I think they just love to roll in gross stuff, the little buggers.

She licks them?? Frogs are fast and slippery! How does she get to them??? Thats kinda impressive.

They are German frogs...they definately are not fast They sit in the street, it's mating season for them now, so they do not care about getting licked, they probabely like it as much as Ivil ew! I stepped on one the other day...

I almost stepped on a salamander in the grass the other night. Good way to keep me off the grass and in the light. I'm terrified of stepping on one (well, anything alive).

Gwen likes to chase the frogs... thank God we don't have any here...
Gwen likes to crawl on her belly. She will first shove her head and neck into the ground, and push her self forward until her back legs are stretched all the way behind her and she drags herself forward by her front legs for four to five feet.... just weird I say and she really likes to do it in the snow.. but wet grass is good too.
