10 Weird Things Dogs Do That Make Dog Owners Scratch Their Heads

Personal Photo

In November, my family adopted a rescue dog, something we've wanted to do for a long time. Kylo is a black lab mix, almost a year old, who was found on the side of the road in Tennessee. She's fun and energetic and extremely cuddly, and we all love her to pieces!

Now, I grew up having cats, so I didn't think having a dog would be too much different. Boy, was I wrong! In the past two months of being a dog owner, I have definitely learned a lot about dogs, plus I've gotten to experience a ton of weird things that dogs do. If you have a dog, I'm sure you'll relate to these crazy things!

1. Lick everything. Even weird things.

Giphy

My dog likes to lick the couch cushions, table legs, and my pants. Sometimes she just sticks her tongue out and rests it on the nearest surface. WHY?!

2. Try to become a lap dog when they are clearly too big.

Giphy

I know I don't have the biggest dog, but she definitely is too big to be a lap dog. Still, she always pushes her way on top of me whenever I sit down.

3. Shake their toys around

Giphy

I'm surprised her head doesn't hurt when she whips her head back and forth with a toy in her mouth.

4. Jump around all the time except when getting on the couch/in the car

Giphy

I don't know if my dog is lazy, but I always have to help her onto the couch or into the car. I know she CAN jump because I've seen it, but she won't when it comes to the most basic things.

5. Follow us into the bathroom

Giphy

There is no concept of privacy with dogs...

6. Chase their tails

Giphy

Why do they do that? What do they get out of it?

7. Leaning against our legs

Giphy

I'm sorry, was I in your way?

8. Fighting the vacuum

Giphy

I understand that it's a scary machine, but watching them try to attack the vacuum is hilarious.

9. Eating grass

Giphy

It always makes them sick, so why do they do it?

10. Act innocent after they've just done something wrong

Giphy

Dogs give you the eyes like they didn't just get into the trash or break something of yours. Where did they learn that?

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
