Amen, Alicia! We’ve been entertained for days reading all of these answers…all 132 of them, in fact. But now it’s after midnight on Friday, so entry is officially closed. Thanks to everyone for the hilarious stories (and great pet names, too). We’ll be announcing the winner on Monday so keep your fingers crossed until then!

Jack is our handsome yellow lab just over one year old. He will drag the boys’ bikes all over the yard. He even climbs the wooden ladder to the top of the treehouse to get a nice view of the surrounding yards. This is a great question to ask your readers………..
you’ve had a HUGE response! Good job -

Cali is my 4 year old yorkie-bichon mix. She loves chasing her tail so much that often she forgets where she is in the house, turns around to quickly and hits her head on walls and furniture in an attempt to run around too quickly.. see, she needs some first aid! :)

Our dog Molly has the same ears as Burger!

Molly will be 9 this year and due to her, ahem, adventurous spirit we have had a lot of stories to tell over the years. The wildest thing she has done started this summer. When we’re not at home she stays with my parents. Apparently she was bored at their place so she decided to let herself out and go for a walk. She opened their sliding door and walked 2 miles to our place. Once there she pranced around at the back door waiting for us to let her in, like “Hello, just thought I’d drop by.” Fortunately she was okay, but from now on we are keeping maps out of her sight!

We have 3 animals (1 mutt doggie from SPCA, 1 older kittie from local cat rescue group, and 1 youngish Maine Coon). We can’t leave a drink with a straw around unattended because Delaney, the Maine Coon, will pull the straw out of the drink and carry it around. She will even play fetch with a straw if you throw one for her. Bridget, our other cat, is obssessed with water that comes from the refrigator; we think it is because that water is filtered. If she finds a glass of water unattended, she will knock the glass over so she can get to the liquid. Luckily, Maddie, the dog, doesn’t really care about our beverages.

My cat Jaq has recently discovered paper towels and toilet paper. The last 3 days, I have come home from work to find one of the above scattered ALL over my apartment. After two days and a vacuum barricade, I locked up the paper towels, only to come home today to TOILET paper! I don’t know what I’m going to do with him.

We have two cats: Simon, an orange tabby, and Riley, a Siamese mix. Simon loves to sleep on my head at night, and Riley must sleep on my husband’s legs. Simon loves to get in the shower after us, and lay on the wet floor, and if Riley is sitting somewhere Simon wants to be, he just sits on top of him. They are hilarious :)

I have two Boston Terriers: Jax and Jewels. Jax is obsessed with tennis balls. He pick one out each day and go nuts only playing with that particular ball. He’s crazy. Jewels has a serious nesting issue and she’ll fluff blankets for 10-15 minutes before she even lays down.

My two dogs, Jazz and Disco would be much safer in our house with one of these around!

A weird habit: Jazz MUST sleep under the covers of my bed at night. He will not go to sleep unless I lift the covers for him to get in and snuggle. He will pace all night long on my head until I do. Ask me how I know this…

Our cat, Oliver, loves to sit on the edge of the tub while we shower and then get in after you turn the water off to slip-n-slide around. He’s nuts. He also loves to play chase w/ me (like a dog), it’s more like a combination of hide and seek and chase, so funny!
