24. What Strange Habits does Your Dog Have? Max

From Jennifer, for About.com

Question: 24. What Strange Habits does Your Dog Have? Max

Answer: "Max is a stray that I found 3 years ago. He is a 27 lb., black Chihuahua mix with soulful brown eyes, a slight overbite that always seems to catch on his lip and definate street smarts. He may be about 6 years old? He reminds me of a street dog you might see in Mexico or Puerto Rico.

Max is a vehicle sniffer. He must stop and smell bumpers, tires, under big and small trucks, etc. Most dogs home in on plants and trees but not Max. He is the smartest dog I've ever had but he has a hard time listening to me when he is deep into the vehicle sniff mode.

I've had dogs all my life but have never had a car sniffer before. He seems to be addicted."

"Once I made a pinata for a dog-park party. I filled it with lots of dog treats and toys and left it on the floor in my room. Later I heard loud banging noises coming from my room. I walked in to find my Pit Bull/ Lab X walking around the room with her head stuck in the pinata! (Once I helped her unstick her head I gave her a bone from the pinata for effort)"
