What makes your dogs go crazy? Is it a toy or a certain treat? Or do they love doing something so much their brains melt?

And what do they despise and wish to never see/do again?

For Syl, it's a pink fleece tug toy that a friend on this forum crafted and gave me.

Fable is obsessed with any and all food, but especially carrots and chicken. I have never met a dog that was so crazy about food.

She absolutely detests water and rain. And get this: we live in Portland, Oregon, which is a city on a river that has a reputation for getting copious amounts of rain each year. Poor Fabes. :p

Sam loves chicken. He will do backflips for chicken. Hot dogs too but mostly chicken. He's not really a toy guy.

He wouldn't mind never seeing water again. We live in Seattle. Every time it rains he is SO SAD.

Wilson loves fetching, especially his green squishy ball. Bring that thing out and it's like the rest of the world doesn't exist anymore.

He could do without ever seeing a stranger again. Or loud noises.

Apples, pop tart crusts, walking to Lake Leota (when we lived there), or on the Ice Age trail. Roxie's always disappointed when we don't go to the Ice Age, and when we lived in the area, she would practically drag me to Lake Leota- we walked many different routes, but she seemed to know our location in comparison to the lake... and so if she thought we were going home before stopping by the lake, she'd be really upset. Granted, it wasn't like she could swim there (it was a VERY disgusting lake!) but she loved walking around the park and stuff.

Things Roxie would love to NEVER do or see... Hm... Get left alone, I guess. Sure, she loves her ex-pen and spends time in there even when I am home, but in a perfect world, she would be attached to me 24/7. Or, yknow, if it never showed or got cold, that'd be great too! ...Just so long as the allergens in the trail stayed dead too, cuz we can't really hike after winter :( mostly after her big breakout last year, don't really want a repeat, even with her allergy meds, I try to only go for a hike there every once in a while.

For Lancer... the TURNUP.



And for Rara... BREAD.



Literally bread. Any kind or nationality of bread, as long as it is bread. She loves bread more than she loves me and meat and treats and life itself. I've never met a dog as in love with BREAD as this bread-obsessed small dog. :| She would take all the bread from a stranger/someone she hates and obey them while they hold bread in their hands and act like a perfect angel, until they are out of bread. And then she will hate them again.

And as for something these Aussie things never want to see = me jumping or dancing.

For Bubbles it's the chance to be pet. Seriously. She loves it. And really any food is welcome :D

Jari loves cheese. A lot. And meatballs. But mostly cheese.

Kimma just wants food, generally. But especially those Pet Joy chicken things. Her brain explodes. She also loves pretzel nuggets. She will stare holes in your head if you eat them in front of her. Weirdo. No surprise that pretzels are my favorite food :p

I forgot their dislikes! For all of mine, really, it's not being with someone. They hate when I leave and would much rather come with. But of someone is home (my sister or husband) they are much better.

Ryker LOOOVES stuffed toys. Especially brand NEW stuffed toys. His eyes bug out of his head when he sees them.

He hates being left alone.

Gypsy loves food. Any kind. She goes nuts for plain ol' kibble.

She hates when Ryker annoys her.

Watson loves pizza...he will do almost anything for a bite.

He is another dog that hates cold and rainy weather. Winter in his mind needs to go die in a fire.

Menchi loves fried cheese curds.

Nail clippers and the dremel are her nemesis.

Squirrels count? Nothing really sets Hank off like a small fuzzy animal. But Hank goes nuts for most things.

Summer- food and friends.

Mia- kong x small squeakers. And small furries.

Knarly use to LOVE toys, he'd bring them to me at night and lay them in my hand over and over until I woke up and threw it. Came to a point, you'd wake up with toys stuffed under your bum to end the game so you could sleep. At his age now though, not much excites him anymore...dinner time and coming from outside still make him dance though. His hates...Ripley.

Rolyx gets super excited with soda caps and a hacky sack...brings out the pup in him. His dislikes...people who have no common sense.

Ripley is anything food. Food food food. Also any rope toy, loves to tug and fetch. Dislikes...big and loud trucks, also tall men. Need some warm weather, would really like to desensitize him to these things. :(

Lure-coursing, hands down.


It combines her favorite things; yelling, running, chasing and catching.

Least favorite is strangers, especially if they touch her.

Joey: Food.....any food. He will do anything for food.

Lucy: Me. She absolutely adores me. It's sweet, but also a little concerning. If something happened to me I don't know how she'd cope.

Walter: Other dogs. Dogs are the Best. Thing. EVER! Followed closely by other animals. Oh, and people.

Abrams' favorites:
1. Cuz toys with their feets cut off to make a ball. This is the Best. Thing. Ever.
2. The garden hose, turned on. If he even thinks I'n going to turn the hose on he goes bonkers, sits at the porch door, and whines. The nice thing is that this makes bath time super rewarding for him!
3. The beach, or retrievimg in a large body of water in general. He loooooves going.
4. Cheese. I think this dog would take a sliver of cheese over a sliver of steak.

Abrams' most hated:
1. Nail trims. Nail trims are sad. And dramatic. And pathetic.
2. Being left in the backyard if I'm in the front yard. Screaming and crying commences.
3. Not being fed when he thinks it is food time. Much pouting.

Cynder likes to hike off leash. And get babied while sitting on your lap. She hates all things water and being scolded. She's a fairly simple dog. Lol

Meg's favorite things are kitties and baked goods. And then probably me in the third slot. Holy cow will that girl turn herself inside out (or climb seemingly insurmountable furniture) for brownies, cupcakes, or cookies. And all you have to do is quietly meow to get her into full alert mode.

Her least favorite things are highway driving and un-flavored popcorn.

Gusto's favorite things are squeaky tennis balls and border collies.

His least favorite things are public displays of affection and slippery floors.

I think it's a three way tie between attention, toys and food for Eve. Sheep would be her #1, but she never sees sheep and lives in an apartment, so it's attention, toys and food.

Least favorites are other dogs, extremely loud noises and standing still for grooming.

She'll eat anything, but her least favorite food is kiwi.

Addie has 2 favorite toys. One is her Bumble Ball - it is a motorized ball with nubbies that bounces and moves. Turn that thing on and even if she is in another room, she will be on it like a moth to a flame. The other is a cat toy. Addie was so tiny when she came home that cat and kitten toys were more her sizes. Even puppy stuff was a little too big. Anyway, it is a mouse with a string tail, and it rattles. She carries it everywhere.

Addie is a foodie. She wants a sample of everything please - except Strawberries.

My Lutino (yellow) Cockatiel, Bebe, is terrified of Addie. While Addie could care less about the grey one (Deo - he is not afraid of anything, least of all Addie), anytime Bebe flies or is on the couch with us, she whines and paces and wants to chase her. Good thing Addie can't jump on the couch yet. Training is going to take a while on this yet. So, I would say chasing Bebe is right up there on her list of favorites.

J-Roc's favorite thing in the world is her leash. She'll drop to a sit and tap her front paws in rapid fire succession, impatient to get leashed. Leashes mean adventures are about to happen and she knows it.

J-Roc's least favorite thing? Probably being rushed by unknown dogs.
