Couldn't agree more with this.
Anyways, on to the topic ( and a lighter note [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":)" width="20" /> ).
So I don't have an 'intimate' companion or one I've raised from a youngster, but I do have two dogs I watch over for family, who are for sure 'unique'.
The beagle was meant to be a rabbit dog, but he didn't quite get it down: so was just transferred to pet.
His favorite hobbies include: digging as many f*ing holes as he can, escaping as quick and as late at night as he can, and when in your company: being a complete attention whore. Including but not limited to loving to slurp glasses lenses (a personal favorite of mine, especially with really thick glasses: they tend to need cleaned often...) and belly rubs.
If one does not provide said beagle belly rubs, he throws himself against your legs for attention: forcefully, and awaits his pets.
The German Shepherd: now this fellow used to be a police canine, and will milk for attention as well at any opportunity.
When it's feeding time, or I approach you'd think he's being strangled the noises he makes, upon opening his kennel door there's a black and tan blur and you're almost on your ass with a one-hundred-ten pound wiggling ball of fluff who wants ear rubs.
This damn dog -loves- the insides of his ears rubbed too (carefully, of course...). He's inventive too, stealing gloves, ski masks (in the cold seasons), or tugging coat / shirt tails are favorites for attention.
He'a also a complete attention whore for belly rubs as well and will whine if I stop.
Maybe not quite 'hobbies' but definitely some interesting things between those two. Love em' both to death too: they always make me smile.
