OT If frozen let it go. Dog Tales

I read "Duck Tales" in the title and became momentarily ecstatic. Dog Tales are also fun, but have significantly less Launchpad McQuack.

I have a cat who loves to go down into the basement (where my laundry is), drag used dryer sheets out of the huge garbage can I throw them away in (how the hell he gets them out of there is beyond me), and haul them back upstairs in his mouth while squalling as if he's in some sort of pain. Those dryer sheets are his favorite play thing.

My puppy of around 3 months loves to take a dump DIRECTLY in front of my neighbors window, butt pointed towards the window. The bottom floor of the apartment building is built into the ground, so the window is chest level inside the building but right at the ground on the outside. I can just imagine my neighbor waking up one day with my dog's brown eye right in front of his face.

Back when I was in college we had a cat in the house, which loved to use her cat hunting instincts and on more than one occasion we would find half-dead birds in the kitchen with broken wings. One night at about 3 AM I was awoken by some of my roommates banging on my door: hey, hey, wake up, you gotta come see what Alabama caught! I head out into the hall to find: a bat. With a broken wing. The bat was clearly scared shitless and kept flapping and trying to fly, which obviously it couldn't, and we spent 20 minutes debating what to do while the bat flapped its way down the hall and eventually under the locked door belonging to another roommate who was away for the week. We shrugged, put a Batcave sign on his door, and figured we'd let him figure out what to do with the bat when he got back.

So, we moved into our first home recently and, as an ingenius way of celebrating milestones in life, my partner and I got our first dog as well. We were also blessed with the experience of dealing with mice for the first time. My dog decided to never catch a single mouse or care when one went scurrying down the hall. She was decidedly uninterested. You can imagine then, my suprise upon returning home from a class and noticing she had finally caught a mouse! The only problem was that it was the mouse to my computer and not one of the many live mice she had casually watched running down the hall...I was not pleased but could not help but admire the wit.

when I was about 8 years old. She was a great cat. Thanksgiving we had over a dozen people starting dinner the dinning room when we all heard a weird noise from under the table. Everyone looks. Cat regurgitates an entire chipmunk onto the floor.

my grandma's cat used to consider the yarn placemats to be her babies and would make a low moan/groan/dirty sound while carrying them around the house at 3 in the morning. just talking to them and god i don't even know but it was bizarre and scary. the other thing is my ex fiancée and i got a dog together and at my mom's house over the holidays we locked the puppy in my bedroom with all our stuff while we went out for dinner. when we got back we could smell shit but couldn't find it. looked for 20 minutes all over the room until she finally found it. swear to god, the dog shit right in her purse. you better believe i still remember and laugh my ass off about that.

My dad had adopted a farm cat that used to hunt mice and birds in our barns. Every morning he'd line up his kills on the backstep and sit there. My dad would walk out on his way to work, tell the cat what a good cat he was and then dispose of the dead animals before my mom saw them. One week my dad went on a business trip and so my mom walked out, saw the dead mice and flipped out. Screamed at the cat and went nuts. So the cat started hiding all his kills in the barn. When my dad came home, the cat went and got all the kills out and lined up this pile of about two dozen dead rodents and birds for my dad to see. Weird cat, you could also play fetch with him. Throw a ball and he'd run it down and bring it back to you. My alaskan malamute tried to "fetch" the UPS Driver once. I'm at a friend's house, dog is sitting there letting the toddlers abuse him (pull his tail, etc, just happily slobbering on them, peaceful as can be). UPS guy walks into the back yard, approaches the kids. The malamute sees a stranger approaching the kids and growls. UPS guy keeps coming. Malamute goes from growling to running right at the UPS guy. UPS guy maces the malamute, which does nothing, aside from further pissing off the malamute. UPS man turns and runs, gets about three steps before the malamute jumps him. I had to in and drag the malamute off the guy, he was so pissed off over the mace he wouldn't respond to my commands to stand down. Great dog, but a little over aggressive in his protection of children. Children + strange humans tends to result in a human retreating rapidly from a very large and very angry dog.

We had a cat growing up that ended up living for 19 years. Whenever she could sneak her way out of the house up until the day she died, she would always catch a bird and leave it on the front porch for us to find. Also, our youngest cat enjoys eating the other cat's puke which is awesome because there is no mess to clean up.

Yesterday was Squirrel Appreciation Day, so your dog's find was very timely. My cat brought a snake home this summer. This was not well received; my husband was upset because he loves snakes; I was upset because I hate them. I was informed of the find by this photo sent to me at work by my spouse:

I told him if he didn't remove it I'd be sleeping at the office. As it turns out the snake was playing dead and escaped later.
