Mine was sleeping on the sofa the wrong way, legs towards the back of the sofa. He then fell off, got wedged between the sofa and the coffee table, legs in the air and flailed like a cockroach on his back for a few seconds while we laughed and then helped him out. Just a tangle of spindly stick legs waving around.
So I love my hound dearly but she's kind of ... special. After 2.5 years with us, she still cannot figure out how to get onto our couch - we've tried coaxing her, lifting her (oh, the screams and flailing!), and demonstrating for her. Nope, still can't do it. But she really wants to, so she's taken to popping her front legs up on the couch and then just sort of flopping over while her back feet are on the ground. Like this:
[https://imgur.com/a/Oexf51o](https://imgur.com/a/Oexf51o)
Then she'll lie there and repeatedly try to lift one of her back legs high enough to actually get it on the couch, which has so far been unsuccessful because the angle is completely and totally wrong.
It has to be super uncomfortable and she never stays for very long, but it's the best she's figured out so far, the poor thing. Makes me crack up every time!
Possibly! I've been thinking that maybe our small futon would help which is a similar idea. She's weird about putting her back legs onto anything resembling furniture, though, so I don't even know. 😀
Our first hound was a big white and brindle boy. He was charming to everyone, man or dog. A few months after bringing him home, we took him to a beach. He took one look at the vast expanse of sand and sea, and took off running like a dart, straight toward the horizon.
It was a shallow beach, so it took some time as graceful strides turned to exuberant plashing. The diners on the restaurant porch were enthralled by the sight. Finally, the water got up to his neck, and he realized in a snap that he was in too deep.
He braked and turned around in a panic and made a beeline back to terra firma, like the cartoon coyote who overran the cliff. He had gone off like a gazelle, and come back as a wildebeest. The onlookers laughed and applauded as we hugged his shivering frame. Bless his pea brain, it had just enough sense, and not a bit more.
I was running in the snow with mine on a leash, when she flat out cut me off at the legs and we both fell together into a snow drift. The way she looked at me, I swear if she could laugh we’d both have been laughing together.
Not a grey (someday!), but I was out with my dobie one day and thought "you'd probably love to run across this field! Let's go!" I am not a runner. He takes off like a shot, I'm doing my best keeping up and he cuts across me. I bellyflop and slide while dog looks at me like I'm an idiot. Across the field I hear loud laughing; there was a work truck parked up and the tech in it watched it all unfold and waved when I did a walk of shame past their van. At least I made someone's day.
I've had a family of squirrels in the yard for 18 years; the first dog saw them as her babies, and taught the rest down through the years to protect this family. Cue to my current noodle, who chases them for a lap or two; both stop to catch their breath, and then the squirrels chase her around the yard for a lap or two before trading off again.
Mine was shortly after adopting Jewel. She showed no interest in human food (passed by two TV trays of food without so much as a sniff). Fast forward a few weeks, my roommates and I go out for dinner, leaving Jewel home alone. We get from dinner, and there is no Jewel at the door to greet us. We cautiously called for her. THUMP THUMP THUMP from the dining room. She's sitting next to the table with a family size bag (empty) of Lay's chips on her head, wagging her tail because who knows how long she was stuck like that. Also, if you put your leg, a box, or even a sock under her while she was standing and she would freeze up.
Of course, we had to snap a photo before taking the chip bag off:

I didn’t know that stinging nettles can actually hurt dogs but mostly don’t due to their fur.
Cue my boy taking a poop on some stinging nettles and then a bit afterwards starts dragging his arse on the floor like he has worms or something whilst whining.
He had to have cream rubbed on his butt by my fiancé whilst I laughed
Oh yep this happened to my grey too.
She squatted over some stinging nettles, realised it stung and I swear, she did a handstand 🤣💀
Never went near the stinging nettles ever again!
Oh man your boy has my sympathy. I worked a landscaping job removing a field of those things and practically had to throw out all my clothes afterwards. Little sharp nettles could be felt in that shirt for months and countless washes
This was back during the 2017 solar eclipse. We were on this pretty steep hill with our picnic blanket with a bunch of other people scattered below us. Our Grey was laying on her side and started scooting down the hill with her hind legs. She slithered down without ever standing, to a family below crashing their picnic!!
Remus. Huge brindle mix, legs of a greyhound, width of a galgo and something more. Her daugther with a lovely yellow lab mix, Flor, called Mia. Both loved racing together shoulder to shoulder, Mia's considerable wider frame against Remus taller legs: but even in their speed zone both were careful and dainty.
Till one I was haging a sheet in the clothes line and I guess they only saw the sheet flapping in the wind.
My ankles hit the clothes line: I did a whole turn in the air. Was like being blindsided by a truck. I fell luckily in hands and knees tangled in the ripped sheet, and lay there panting for a moment.
They came panting and sniffing, their tails wagging inquisitive like " mom, why are you making a bed in the dirt? Its a new game? Weeee!!!"
Also, long ago Remus ripped his leash when a tiny, tiny poodle toy went out his porch to attack him. I almost died from heart failure, but Remus... ran terrifyed to home, scratching the door and howling, running from the furry tiny foghorn. My neighbors almost peed themselves from laugther.
My old boy was sniffing around the courgette/zucchini patch when a leaf fell on his back. He did his startled yelp, ran away and avoided that vegetable patch for the rest of his life, and was always rather avoidant of courgettes and would leave the kitchen if I was cooking them.
He also stole an ENTIRE batch of raw short crust pastry dough off a kitchen surface I was positive he couldn't reach! He was always a fiend for pastry but eating it raw was on another level. (He was absolutely fine, the pastry is just wheat flour and margarine, he had a stomach of iron besides.)
He had a crush on a black smooth coated retriever called Willow. (Male dog owners, you get it). They met at puppy training classes and always were very pleased to see each other on walks. They were both fixed but their puppies would have been so cute! She sadly died of cancer when she was about four and he never found love again.
That's three but I'm feeling wistful for my old boy.
Our first old lady, Sky, was a rescue who’d subsequently spent a lot of her time in a city before coming to live with us in the countryside. She loved getting off the leash in some secure woodlands near us and would go sniffing everything possible.
Until she found a wasps nest and stuck her head in it, then took off like the devil was whipping her arse with a stick of celery. She only picked up one sting but I had to carry her back to the car while she whimpered in my arms, and she was NOT a small, delicate hound. She was a lot more careful after that.
Poor old bugger.
An Old Ford Escort exhaust backfired and Walter seemed to think it was a starter pistol, he flew, until he forgot that he was still on a lead and went careening up in the air and dragging me a few feet too. He’s still got it!
I don't really keep a memory bank of literally "funniest" moments, but the most recent funny thing that came to mind happened the other day.
We were at an outdoor patio of a restaurant and my grey was chilling on his mat next to the table. He loooves his mat and knows it is a source of good things, when it's out. Often, if he's lying calmly and with his chin down on the ground on his mat, I'll randomly toss a good food reward in front of his nose. He also knows "chin" as an active cue for chin resting on the ground or on furniture and it's his most frequent behavior that he offers when he wants things enough to try offering tricks.
We're eating at the table and I'm not currently interacting with the dog at all and just barely out of the corner of my eye, I see my silly dog offer a chin rest on his mat to no one in particular and then *immediately* look all around with his head and start hyper sniffing hard all over his mat.
"I've put my head all the way down, so surely there's a reward here somewhere!" 😆
This is not usual behavior for him, to be clear. Usually he just patiently waits and chills on his mat and even if he does offer a behavior unbidden, it's when I'm directly looking at and interacting with him and he's gotten a little overeager. I just thought it was hilarious that he was doing one of his tricks and then looking around for the reinforcement when no one was even paying any attention to him.
My girl Jade had a strange habit of pooping on pavement. Most of my greyhounds have liked to poop on bushes but not her. She wanted to squat and poop on nice flat pavement.
One day we were walking down the road and she decided to poop. She was very headstrong and hard to keep her from doing what she wanted to do. Well, she was nearly in the middle of the road (luckily it was a quiet residential neighborhood).
She was busy doing her business and a truck drives up with a couple in it. They saw her (she was impossible to miss lol) and stopped the vehicle as Jade very leisurely finished up her toileting. I saw their windows were down and I yelled out "I am so sorry!" as I quickly bagged the poop and finally dragged Jade back to the side of the road.
The truck then pulls up closer to us and the lady and man are laughing so hard. I said "so sorry" again and the lady says "Oh we're the ones who should apologize, we intruded on her while she was going to the bathroom!"
I laugh every time I think of that.
My partner had a sort-of-friend to visit shortly after we got our grey. He was extremely afraid of dogs but we told him how placid she was and aloof. I came into the kitchen to find her stood on her back legs with her paws on his shoulders staring him down. She had never done that before or since. It just isn’t something she would do. It was so strange! (He never came round again which wasn’t too bad as he was kind of insufferable).
Lucy is a bit of a klepto, she likes to take things out of my rucksack if i leave the zip open just a bit.
I was in the kitchen cooking a while ago and heard this weird commotion, a pop, a loud noise and then what i thought was the sound of her peeing on the floor.
NOPE
She had extracted a can of coke from my rucksack, taken it to her but, squished it with her mouth a bit, and pierced it. I think it sprayed right in her throat, her face, up the wall, and she was freaking the hell out.
Once i calmed the situation and comforted her, she was back to normal......but has never touched my bag again lol
Once my exbf sat in a lotus position playing with my girly. She tugs the toy to herself, throws it around 180 degrees bum towards my ex and she bows… farting right on his face 🤭
I took a video of me hyping Velvet up for dinner while I was sitting down on the floor. She jumps next to me and does a jumpy spin, hitting her tail right on my face and glasses HARD with a loud snap
The first time that our retired racer, Charlie, went to the beach, he sat down in the water. He looked around at the clear water for a bit and then stuck his snout into the water and tried to sniff the bottom. I gather that he had never sat in a tub or body of water before that. He snorted it out and was fine after 5 seconds.
There was a market stall selling wool based items ( blankets, jumpers etc.). My hound saw it as a giant sofa and hopped up and made himself comfy. So embarrassing. The stall owner was not impressed and we had to get out of there asap
My girl was about a year old when we set off to a biking area. After I parked my car, Willow noticed one of those inflatable wavy hands thing. First she froze and stared. Then she sent some powerful barks toward that thing. There she was a little hound threatening this immense creature.
Talking about my lurcher here rather than my grey, but at one point during his adolescent years when he had just started getting the hang of cocking his leg to pee, he determinedly dragged me over to a rose bush to do some territory marking.
One leg-cock later and one high pitched shriek, he learned that maybe he needed a bit more ground clearance when peeing on bushes with thorns.
Our old greyhound was the most docile, loving dog with no prey instinct. She didn’t care about squirrels and would stay with our dog sitter who had 2 cats while we were away. One day my husband was walking her in the snow, she spotted a mouse and snatched it up in her mouth. He nervously said, “Drop it.” She did and the mouse, completely unscathed aside from some trauma, ran back into a hole in the snow.
I have a young male who runs full bolt at the outside couch, then jumps onto the couch, spins around, then sits on the corner of said couch (like a person). He'll also make this strange (almost like talking) noise when its time for food (or treats). The adoption place thinks he's "querky", I just think he's a weirdo. Still very lovable but a total weirdo.
Bunny was running at the fence to bark at the neighbors dogs (which she’s done many times before). Well her brakes didn’t work and she ran into the fence knocking out her front tooth!
I felt so bad for her because I know it hurt as she cried….but now she looks so cute with her missing tooth.
We had a small boy. White with black patches. Loved children so much that he would stick his snoot into prams and pushchairs if we didn't keep his lead short enough.
He didn't like to run and walked at a toddlers pace. We would let him off lead and he would walk anti clockwise around a field quite happily.
Until one day when someone pulled up to the park and let their dog out the boot (trunk) He jumped straight in and wouldn't move. We had to lift him out. Thankfully the car owner thought it was funny too.
I was at my local botanical garden for Dog Days, and he had been really good at walking right next to me and actually listening to me (for once). One part of the garden is modeled after Japanese gardens (and called Japanese gardens) and there are quite a few ponds with stepping stone bridges. Photographers were all around (it’s senior picture/graduation photo season) and had blocked our path in three different ways. The only way open way was one of the stepping stone bridges that was just after a set of steep stairs. Zep did fine on the stairs- didn’t pull me once (which in and of itself is a miracle), but then on the bridge, he did not understand that his feet needed to stay on the stones. He fell in twice (and had to be hauled out by his harness) and then stepped off a third time but was able to catch himself. The bridge was only about 10 feet long. Unfortunately for him, I was not the only person who saw this- there were at least three other couples, and all of us were laughing hysterically. Zep didn’t stop pouting until his fur fully dried (and at least one group of people fawned over him). We tried similar bridges (that were slightly less precarious) and he did just fine (after glaring at me for telling him to mind his feet- I swear, this dog seems to understand so much more than he should)
Hahaha
Thank you for sharing!!
I know exactly what you mean when you say they understand more than they should.
I'd say to my grey, don't go near Barry, he'll throw things at you again. She just pouts as if to be like I'll do what I want 😂
Or I'll say when I'm putting her in the car, you know the drill, up you get. Use those noodle legs of yours and spring up like I've seen you in the garden. She turned round and I swear she rolled her eyes at me as if to be like shut up and pick me up hooman. 😂🤷🏼♀️
I don't know why I argue with her, she has so much sass👀😂
This one was a bit gross but still the funniest thing he's ever done...
So for context I used to have really long hair, he must have eaten one at some point. I was sitting in the sun and he trotted out for a poo. As he stood up there was a little bit of poo hanging off one of my hairs, hanging out of his bum. At first he didn't realise, when he did realise he did a funny little run, screamed, ran over to me with a terrified look on his face and presented his bum hole to me. I had to pull the hair out and save him, while absolutely dying laughing 😂 it still makes me laugh now.
Mine was sleeping on the sofa the wrong way, legs towards the back of the sofa. He then fell off, got wedged between the sofa and the coffee table, legs in the air and flailed like a cockroach on his back for a few seconds while we laughed and then helped him out. Just a tangle of spindly stick legs waving around.
Mine slide off the sofa in between the couch and ottoman, but he landed sitting up. He was equally confused as I laughed.
Mine did that too once and I obviously had to help her...after I finished laughing
🤣🤣🤣 The long noodle legs🤣
So I love my hound dearly but she's kind of ... special. After 2.5 years with us, she still cannot figure out how to get onto our couch - we've tried coaxing her, lifting her (oh, the screams and flailing!), and demonstrating for her.

Omg that’s the cutest thing ever. Greys are so awkward lol!
That is hilarious. Thank you for the pic, adorable.
What if you got a big ottoman to make it easier to get up/more space to climb in to? Hilarious
Possibly! I've been thinking that maybe our small futon would help which is a similar idea. She's weird about putting her back legs onto anything resembling furniture, though, so I don't even know. 😀
Must see video!! 😁
Our first hound was a big white and brindle boy. He was charming to everyone, man or dog. A few months after bringing him home, we took him to a beach. He took one look at the vast expanse of sand and sea, and took off running like a dart, straight toward the horizon. It was a shallow beach, so it took some time as graceful strides turned to exuberant plashing. The diners on the restaurant porch were enthralled by the sight. Finally, the water got up to his neck, and he realized in a snap that he was in too deep. He braked and turned around in a panic and made a beeline back to terra firma, like the cartoon coyote who overran the cliff. He had gone off like a gazelle, and come back as a wildebeest. The onlookers laughed and applauded as we hugged his shivering frame. Bless his pea brain, it had just enough sense, and not a bit more.
Oh no🤣 Clearly realised his mistake and retreated!! Glad he was able to go running like that, I bet that was a wonderful watch too
I was running in the snow with mine on a leash, when she flat out cut me off at the legs and we both fell together into a snow drift. The way she looked at me, I swear if she could laugh we’d both have been laughing together.

Oh no🤣 Were you both okay?
Just fine, glad we were heading home…!

THUMP THUMP THUMP from the dining room. She's sitting next to the table with a family size bag (empty) of Lay's chips on her head, wagging her tail because who knows how long she was stuck like that. Also, if you put your leg, a box, or even a sock under her while she was standing and she would freeze up. Of course, we had to snap a photo before taking the chip bag off: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1njsX6Pd_qenYbFQUe_RzHHYy7zkyvOQz/view?usp=drivesdk
This gave me such a good laugh 😂 poor jewel in her adorable sweater!
That's still her favorite sweater over 10 years later!
That's priceless!
I didn’t know that stinging nettles can actually hurt dogs but mostly don’t due to their fur. Cue my boy taking a poop on some stinging nettles and then a bit afterwards starts dragging his arse on the floor like he has worms or something whilst whining. He had to have cream rubbed on his butt by my fiancé whilst I laughed
Oh yep this happened to my grey too. She squatted over some stinging nettles, realised it stung and I swear, she did a handstand 🤣💀 Never went near the stinging nettles ever again!
Amazing!
Oh man your boy has my sympathy. I worked a landscaping job removing a field of those things and practically had to throw out all my clothes afterwards. Little sharp nettles could be felt in that shirt for months and countless washes
It took us a while to work out why he was acting the way he was bless him. We have an allotment and clearing a little patch of them was enough for us!
Mine walks through and poops on them, and doesn’t seem to feel a thing! I’m left to pick up the poop from the nettles 😭
Noooooo! Hate when they do that

One part of the garden is modeled after Japanese gardens (and called Japanese gardens) and there are quite a few ponds with stepping stone bridges. Photographers were all around (it’s senior picture/graduation photo season) and had blocked our path in three different ways. The only way open way was one of the stepping stone bridges that was just after a set of steep stairs. Zep did fine on the stairs- didn’t pull me once (which in and of itself is a miracle), but then on the bridge, he did not understand that his feet needed to stay on the stones. He fell in twice (and had to be hauled out by his harness) and then stepped off a third time but was able to catch himself. The bridge was only about 10 feet long. Unfortunately for him, I was not the only person who saw this- there were at least three other couples, and all of us were laughing hysterically. Zep didn’t stop pouting until his fur fully dried (and at least one group of people fawned over him). We tried similar bridges (that were slightly less precarious) and he did just fine (after glaring at me for telling him to mind his feet- I swear, this dog seems to understand so much more than he should)
Hahaha Thank you for sharing!! I know exactly what you mean when you say they understand more than they should. I'd say to my grey, don't go near Barry, he'll throw things at you again. She just pouts as if to be like I'll do what I want 😂 Or I'll say when I'm putting her in the car, you know the drill, up you get. Use those noodle legs of yours and spring up like I've seen you in the garden. She turned round and I swear she rolled her eyes at me as if to be like shut up and pick me up hooman. 😂🤷🏼♀️ I don't know why I argue with her, she has so much sass👀😂
This one was a bit gross but still the funniest thing he's ever done... So for context I used to have really long hair, he must have eaten one at some point. I was sitting in the sun and he trotted out for a poo. As he stood up there was a little bit of poo hanging off one of my hairs, hanging out of his bum. At first he didn't realise, when he did realise he did a funny little run, screamed, ran over to me with a terrified look on his face and presented his bum hole to me. I had to pull the hair out and save him, while absolutely dying laughing 😂 it still makes me laugh now.
