Strange and Funny Pet Behaviors In Ocean County

Did you see the video clip of the beagle who got distracted during her agility competition?  Poor Mia.  She didn't win the show but DID win a lot of hearts.  Everyone, except maybe the judges, could understand that she was just being a dog.

The adorable clip got me thinking of my own funny hound.  How excited she gets when she sees a bunny rabbit.  How focused she gets when she tracks the scent of a deer or fox.   Those are examples of her doing what she's wired to do as a dog and I love seeing her natural instincts.

What I don't understand is why she barks at seemingly harmless things.  Like Christmas decorations, statues, and a little girl who was wearing those cute ear muffs with cat ears on them.  Did Taylor think she was a real cat?  I thought she was smarter than that!

So let's use this post as a place to share the cute or odd traits of your pet.  What inanimate object is your animal afraid of?  What does your pet have a "strange" reaction to?
