How does your cocker make you laugh?

[Linz13]

This is a great thread.

With Murphy I love the way he cocks his head to the side when I'm talking to him, as if he is really listening to me, and cuddles me if I'm upset.

Maddi is just at that stage where things are always new, and she just cracks me up.

But when you mention walks, they go daft - and I want them to sit and get their collars on, and they look at me like - Mum you try sitting down when your tail is going this fast, it's not like I have any control over it!! 

They do so many things that just make me laugh and shake my head.  I could list all day long........

Fargo cracks me up when I try to get him to 'speak'. Somehow when I tried to teach him to bark to the 'speak' command, he learnt to sneeze instead  so I get a series of sneezes when it should be barks - but he tries so hard I can't help but laugh 

Bless him 

[Max X 2]

I smile every morning when I see Max has put my his cuddly toys in a circle on the bed so they're wrapped all around him 
(I then put them in a row so he has to do it all over again the next night  )

He also makes me laugh when someone nearby uses a clicker, he'll go & sit infront of them flashing his long eye lashes expecting a treat

With Rodaidh it's his facial expressions. He has the squishiest, most expressive little face, he's the Jim Carrey of dogs and his every emotion and thought is registered loud and clear. He does a particularly good 'surprised' face which cracks me up. He sleeps with me at night and will charge up the stairs ahead of me and sit expectantly at the top as I got into a habit of giving him his bedtime biscuit there and now he's learned it, it's like paying a toll to go up my own stairs  

I think it's the way the three of them interact that really gets me though, they are very funny together, particularly Alfie and Tilly. Tilly 'owns' the chair beside the window in the living room, she sits on it to see out the window during the day and sleeps on it every night. So on Monday night she was there as usual and then she jumped down to go and get a drink and Alfie took his chance and got on her chair. Tilly came back into the living room, walked over and clocked him on there and literally did a double take. She looked at him then looked at me as if to say 'what the..??' then she sat down and stared at him (Alfie was curled up oblivious) and then looked at me again with her head on one side. She then came over and jumped onto the settee, climbed over the arm and onto 'her' chair and plonked her big bum right on top of Alfie and just sat there. Poor Alfie is the ultimate pacifist and after being rudely awakened with 18kg of fuzzy brown butt on him just wriggled out from under her and came over to me with his usual gormless 'Mum what's going on?' expression while Tills did a couple of victory turns before snuggling down on her chair again with a huge groan of contentment

I'm really enjoying this thread!

Lottie cracks me up all the time but last night we were practising for her bronze award test next Monday.  I asked her to sit and stay and while I moved away she started waving her paw at me.  I've also been asking for her paw at meal times.  She looked so pathetic pawing at me the whole time that I cracked up before the minute and she came over wagging her tail

I love when Wherry smiles and when she gets really excited to see you and does free-running across the sofas and figure of 8s across the floor bouncing off the sofas at either end (Norty doggie  ) 

[Macy and Tia]

Macy has a treat ball, so when she decides she wants to play with it she picks it up and throws it on my knee until i put treats in it, once i've put the treats in she pushes it along the floor with her nose and stops in her tracks and stares at the ball waiting for a treat to fall out! If she cant get all her treats out she again picks it up and throws it at me until i get the treats out! Also if my 0H howls at her, it sets her off and she walks round the living room with her head back howling away! There's so many things that makes me laugh, i could go on and on!

too many things about barkley make me laugh. he can be quite a serious chap at times but then the next minute is living up to his barkers nickname by doing something completely daft.  

one thing that i hope he never grows out of is the way that he will often go and find a toy or piece of leftover rawhide chew and start to chuck it about, stalk it, pounce on it, all the while snorting and play bowing. it can go on for ages and leaves me convinced that anyone who thinks dogs don't have an imagination is very mistaken.

[Ben's mum]

this is just the thread I needed today - made me smile

Ben is a real clown - but my favourite thing is at night when its time for the last visit to the garden before bed, he knows I'm going to turf him out into the cold, he squeezes his eyes shut and lies really still like he is asleep, but I know he's not because his tail wags as I get closer and closer, and then when I'm stood beside him he just has to open his eyes to see whats happening and it gives the game away  then he rolls on his back and wiggles really exitedly until I convince him its time to go out.  He does it every night without fail - and it still makes me laugh every time, even after 4 years

Our little girl Chloe, she used to throw herself back and sit like a meerkat.  Here is an example.



I know she looks really fat but it was the steroids.  Actually, she looked more like Tommy Cooper!

All these cocker tales making me chuckle!!

Poppy should have been named after one of the Girlie Wombles as she just loves to litter collect at the moment    It makes me laugh how she proudly walks along with a discarded plastic bottle saying look at me I'm soooooo cleaver 

Giving us pleanty of practice of the "Drop" command though

Great stories, I'm glad there are so many daft little dogs out there!

Pepper knows the command 'go for puddles' for when he has to pee. If he cant be bothered he tries to fool us by just running in and out pretending he's been so gets sent back until we can see he's done. Sometimes he just cant be bothered going out in the cold so dives past me back into the house or if he see's i'm paying attention just barks to get in!

Lily is a right little show off. Every time I stand up she jumps up on me for attention and stretches out so you cant move away cos she'd fall. Clever little poser. She knows fine well she looks cute doing it too....
In the morning she patiently lie's right beside my face and gently noses me with her wet nose to wake me up. As soon as I make the slightest movement her tail starts wagging so hard the bed wobbles so I cant get back to sleep!

The dogs at daycare have me in stitches every single day with the daft things they do. Today it was Rodaidh doing crazy laps all by himself around the field about ten times

With Murphy I love the way he cocks his head to the side when I'm talking to him, as if he is really listening to me, and cuddles me if I'm upset.

Yup, Griffin does this, as if he's really concentrating on what I'm saying.

He's so funny at training class too. If he gets fed up of the training he goes floppy and lies on the floor. He refuses to sit or stand and after any attempt I make to posistion him he just flumps back down. I try to be firm but its hard when you're giggling.

[cdpops]

His I've got springs when he wants something that is out of reach, his ears going round make me laugh every time.

Great thread by the way!

Aww bless him, did he do his 'crazy puppy' turn?
