  • One of my lurchers hates people in white. The first time we were at a park and a cricket team came out the clubhouse, she is normally over friendly but started growling and needed to go on the lead. The second time was when my daughter tried on my wedding dress and again she went mental. Then a couple of weeks ago my daughters friends came round she wagged her tail at the first two but the third was all in white and she just kept snarling at her the whole time.

    Used to have a dog that loved balloons (obviously had to be careful when they popped that she didn't swallow them). Just the sound of a balloon being blown up would get her really excited - she was a quiet placid dog most of the time, but balloons would get her barking and jumping around like a mad thing.

    My dog loves eating my apple cores. Its quite off-putting when trying to enjoy an apple, as he sits there looking at me. He also handily eats bits of carrot, and anything the kids have dropped on the floor.

    He dislikes cats with a passion.

    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    My dog hates rain, if it's raining she won't go for a walk and drags us backwards into the house if we try to take her. We sometimes hae to crouch over her holding a brolly just so she'll go out for a wee!
    She loves cuddles, snuggling up behind people's knees and dentastix

    my bean loves wotsits too! and salad cream and garlic and herb dip. he also loves corn on the cob, quite a mess if he gets anywhere near that before i get a chance to scrape off the leftover corn for him.

    coco goes absolutely feral if she gets any sort of raw chicken or prawns or anything, like she knows she's got something really special. you can't even walk towards her or she starts grumbling :rotfl:but so placid with her own whiskas and crunchies, you can pet her while she's eating. and at every opportunity she gets, she will steal a cotton bud from the bathroom, which are removed quickly much to her dismay.

    they both like tinfoil when it's rolled up in balls for playing with, but would break their own neck trying to escape when i actually rip a piece off the roll.
  • One of my cats loves chickpeas - she won´t stop miaowing until I put some on a plate for her.

    Now Peaches loves a carrier bag, she always sits in one when I empty the shopping out...

    Are your Tesco bags blue?? Or is that a trick of the light?

    Oi the Rottweiler loves clementines, he gets so excited when I have one and starts squeaking at me and begging for his share lol. Also apple cores... white cabbage (raw) but if you try to trick him by giving him lettuce he spits that out :rotfl:

  • Roger loves the noise of the breadbag being opened, never seen him move so fast. He hates parked cars. He's butted me off the pavement before trying to get as far away as possible from them.
