The Little Pack

You Put Your Left Paw In...

I’m not sure if everyone’s pets have idiosyncracies quite the same way that mine do–all I know is that mine have several! Maybe I just have unique animals, maybe I just pay more attention to every little thing they do–I don’t know, I just know that each one of my animals have their own eccentricities, and as much as they may frustrate me at times, these quirks make me laugh and ultimately bring me great joy.

Jackson sneezes. He must have a strange nose fetish, because as much as he fears the sound of sniffing, he repeatedly sneezes loudly when he is angry or frustrated. He slowly walks in a semicircle around the target of his vexation and dramatically shakes his head with every sneeze, constantly looking sideways to assess the effect of his sneezing. Sometimes I will say, “No guff, Mister!” and he will answer, “A-choo, choo!” I have never known another dog to do this, however, just recently, Cheyenne and Dixie have begun to copy this ever-so-amusing trait.
