Dance: She likes to talk when she is happy or excited about something. She loves rolling on carpets. She likes giving crazy hugs, complete with crinkled ears and her cute little dolphin grin when she is super excited about something. She is food obsessed and constantly sneaks away into the kitchen... literally, no idea how she sneaks so well. Not a good quirk, but she is super bad about eating fabric within the last year. Seems to be just a habit. Many of my pajamas and comforter have perished as a result. She also does this weird thing where she tip toes when she gets into a dog bed and sometimes leaps out like something bit her, but nothing did. She does that when she is sleeping too. Just randomly leaps away, does a circle, and then goes back. She is super fidgety. No matter what she is doing, she has a hard time being still. She is a pacer, even when excersized, and she tap dances her front feet often when she is sitting or anticipating something. Really, Dance is just a quirky dog in general haha. I could go on for days.
Ripley: He is obsessed with physical touch to a super annoying point. He forces guests to pet him by leaning on them and vibrating like he is beyond deprived, and he will.not.go.away until I remove him and put him in a stay. He is always trying to rub himself on an outstretched foot or hand too, and if that isn't available, he will rub himself on another dog and practically lay on them. He is also a blanket sucker in a way to self soothe but knows I can't stand it so only does it if I am not around... preferable to how it used to be I suppose, but I wish he would stop completely. He is also obsessive about licking, especially after a meal, but is good about stopping when I tell him. He also likes to tick his head between your knees and hide like an ostrich sometimes lol. No idea why.
Keira: Like Ripley, she is obsessive about licking right after a meal, or after getting wet, or getting her nails done. She also is incapable of walking into the house from outside at a reasonable pace. She has to zip everywhere. When my mom cares for her, or basically anyone but me, she cannot go outside for ten seconds on her own without screeching at the door. She can be a very frantic, high strung, high needs, demanding dog with people who don't understand her personality type... thankfully she is not like that usually with me. Her cute quirk is that when she is happy, she only wags her tail to one side, tilts her head upright to look at you, and prances in a little circle lol. It's strange, but adorable. She also automatically sits when you touch her back, even after Cairo adjustments. Just her thing.
Journey: She likes to grab random toys and show them off, wiggling away, to everyone in the house... including the other dogs. She loves to cuddle but is super lazy about switching positions and regularly sleeps in uncomfortable ways as a result, or falls off of the furniture completely. She is a huge fan of body slamming, much to very one else's dismay. She will just randomly hip check you or bop her nose on you if she is walking behind you. She isn't a loud dog, but she unfortunately cannot control her barking when chasing other dogs... bratty Aussie. Also, she likes to 'accidentally' grab my arm instead of her tug when excited or learning something... not really an accident at all and totally my fault. Not sure what else. She wiggles so much she can barely walks in a straight line, but I think that is mostly an Aussie thing rather than a Journey thing.
Dance is definitely my quirkiest dog. The other three don't really have legitimate quirks like she does. Journey is my most normal dog and her quirks seem to be more breed things than things specific to her, except for a couple. The Doberemans are needy weird in many ways, but when I think quirky, Dance is the only one that immediately pops into my mind.
