I’m not sure if I ever mentioned Buddy’s obsession with catching / stalking animals. He prefers birds, toads and mice, but he’s pretty much game for any type of animals he can find. Well anything that’s smaller than him anyways. He’s bit into a few toads in his day. Yep, more than one. “They” say that dogs will only try to eat toads once because they give off such a nasty taste when being attacked. Not Buddy though. He’s done it several times and will go back for more at every chance. I was worried that Buddy’s hobby (of trying to eat living creatures) could be dangerous, but our vet assured me that nothing in our local area could kill him and pretty much gave him the green light to keep hunting.
That brings us to up-north. Up there, Buddy is able to combine two of his favorite activities. Hunting and swimming. He is obsessed with trying to catch the ducks up there. And I am pretty sure they just laugh at him and only come by to taunt him. But this trip, Buddy got serious. He went duck hunting multiple times his trip and came this close to actually getting one. This close. The three ducks were standing right on the shore and Buddy was standing real still. All of a sudden he jumped right into the middle of the ducks. I’ve never seen them move so fast. We were all cracking up. He almost had one! Usually Buddy just jumps in the water and swims to try and catch them. He usually comes back after he realizes it’s not happening. But during one of his swims, he went farther than he’s ever gone before. We actually had to call him to come back. For a 9lb dog, Buddy does give them a run for their money sometimes.
It’s been said that no one has ever met a dog like Buddy. And that is likely very true. He’s for sure one of a kind. But I bet he’s not the only crazy one out there! What unique things does your dog do?
