Ohhh skippy. What a nice story. Those golden retrievers really seem to have an understanding of what''s going on around them. We went to see March of the Penguins in the theatre when it came out, and there was a golden retreiver seeing eye dog in the audience. When the penguins lost their egg to the ice, and were "talking" to each other, the dog started making the most forlorn crying sounds. It was like he understood the emotion behind the sounds the penguins were making. So touching and sweet.Date: 2/11/2009 10:32:55 PM

Well this is kind of a sweet story. I love my sisters dog Trevor, a gorgeous Golden Retriever. Well my dad loves this dog and sometimes goes to my sisters house and takes him for a walk since they only live a mile away from each other. Well my dad fell while walking Trevor and he couldn''t get up for a minute or two so Trevor got down by my dad''s side and licked his hand and then a little while later tried nuzzling him to get him up. We all thought Trevor was a sweetie to look out for my dad.
They are sweet dogs; wow, what an amazing story! Thanks for sharing that!Date: 2/11/2009 10:38:26 PM

Your sister must feel lucky to have such a wonderfully sweet dog!

Of course a cute incident inspired this thread... my husband just called a few minutes ago to say he was on his way home from work, and our dog could apparently tell it was im on the phone because he started ''talking'' and dancing around like a crazy pup! So I put hubby on speaker and they ''talked'' to each other (little warbly noises and quite ''ruff''s). Too cute. Totally made my day!

my pup does the same thing! anytime one of us are at home, and calls the other on the phone, bowser gets all excited and sits by the door. the poor guy doesn''t realize that every day this happens, i am not home for another 4 hours! Bowser also loves to play football...even though he is the size of one! Its super cute to watch him pick up a football by the laces and try to run with it!Date: 2/11/2009 10:35:00 PM

D.O.G. loves to lay with both back paws straight out behind him. We call it his bear skin rug impression.

the best is when he runs around and then slides into that position.

Byron is a water rescue dog and often ''rescues'' random people out in the ocean when we take him to the beach. If we look away for a minute, he will swim to a stranger and circle around him expecting the stranger to grab onto him so he can tow the random stranger to shore. It can be VERY EMBARRASSING. Last summer Daniel was paddling around a lake while we were on vacation and Byron decided that he needed to be towed into shore.

LOVE your stories, folks! Animals are so funny...
My cat Salem likes wet hair. If FI or I are laying on the couch after a shower, he''ll groom us. It''s cute at first, but kinda gross when you think about what else he licks!
Also, if we''re both sleeping and he gets hungry enough, he''ll lick our eyes to wake us up... weird, but smart, right? Getting your eyelids sanded is not a great way to wake up though!
Here he is with his ''prize''. Our landlord was renovating the downstairs a while back, and Salem proudly brought this mouse to my feet, and I promptly freaked out! lol, poor mousie.
ETA I just realized these things don''t really qualify as ''cute''. And a pic of a dead mouse is definitly not cute! sorry, OP!
