LOL. This reminds me of Manolo - although I wouldn't say he 'hates' it but something crazy happens to him when he's wet too...he spazzes out and rolls around and slides frantically on the carpet in the bathroom to get dry but he seems to be happy when doing it. It's probably just a strange sensation for him. Bathing is not really a 'natural' thing for them so for some, I'm sure its just a weird sensation.

As far as the smelling - this is an instinctive thing that he's doing. I don't think it's weird and I don't think you should worry. He's probably just wanting to check things out It's kind of cute actually.

And as far as his running away from you - he seems to be a playful little bugger and perhaps a little spoiled Remember, we train the dogs not the other way around. If you want him to give you attention when not the bed then you should not reward him only when he's on it. Let him come to you...he'll get it eventually.

Pepper rolls in dead worms. He does not have a preference, the dried ones do taste much better though! He also likes to steal and hoard socks. If hes anxious or excited he has a special sock which we call his "comfort sock" he even insisits on bringing the sock for a walk hahaha.

Douglas is all kinds of weird. He sucks himself.. for one.

When he's excited he spins in circles.

He has worry lines in his forehead, it's so funny.

He loves blankets and sleeps under them.

He always needs to be touching me when he sleeps and will "hug" me with his paws like a person.

These are so funny!
We've only had Micha for a few days, but Leila does have one that I can think of right now. She hates it when I shower. If I forget to close the door, she comes in and tries to bring my clothes back to me. Good thing we have shower doors or she'd try to put them in the tub with me.

Simcha likes to sit on the upstairs sofa with us, late at night, while we watch the TV. He looks like he is 99% asleep. However, the sound of the TV clicking 'off' will cause him to spring instantly to attention. He then goes totally crazy when we announce he will get a doggie biscuit. He receives that doggie biscuit when we put him to bed for the rest of the night in his special little bedroom - it is actually a converted attached porch.

He really loves that bedroom now that cooler weather has arrived. There is only one warm air duct in that room, but with the door closed the temperature in there is toasty warm, probably over 80 degrees.

Poor Liela, she's trying to help! So cute!

Douglas likes when I shower because he comes in the bathroom with me and gets his otherwise forbidden treats. He isn't allowed to have bones or bully sticks on the carpet so he gets them when I shower.

Pearl has to be held with my right arm, and she has to be facing to the right. When doing some of her tricks; she shakes paws with her right paw and when she turns, she turns to the right.

Jaxx used to do this. I don't know if he grew out of it or he just loves his ZiwiPeak but he doesn't do it anymore.
If you don't notice that Jaxx is up on his chair to go outside he will come over and start pulling and mouthing your finger.
If he wants a shirt on he goes into the utility room and whines under where his clothes are stored.
