What's the weirdest thing you do with your corgi?
I sing to mine, constantly. Usually about what he's currently doing.
It's gotten to the point where if I start singing in another room, he runs in, jumps on me, and mauls my face with his crazy corgi tongue.
I've noticed he is especially responsive when I sing in an old-timey Frank Sinatra-esque voice.

Lots of singing, for sure, but the weirdest thing is that I try to rationalize with her. When she had to go potty last night, there I am, standing at the door trying to explain why she didn't need to take Unicorn-Man out with us to go potty. Rather than just take it away, I'm trying to explain to her that it is too cold out for Unicorn-Man (which is another weird thing.... I'm not sure why I call her pink plush unicorn toy a "man" because it's about the most feminine looking toy she has) and that she can play with him again after she goes pee-pee.

I was in class with Grover one day and he would not do the down command for some reason that day (being a toot) and I said "this is not a choice, Mister"! My teacher cracked up! I work with children and sometimes that bleeds over into my discipline with Grover. ;)

sometimes ill just break out in song.. and start dancing with him.. since he knows the "tunnel" trick (going between the legs), whenever he sees me break out in dance, hell run right over and do the tunnel! =D we dance together!
oh and i baby talk to him and i think to anyone else it might be weird, but not to him!
oh and yes! Bailey loves to accompany people to the potty! hahaha... he escorts all our visitors and patiently waits for them at the door.

My husband fishes with the dogs. He has an old fishing pole and attached a duck on the fly end of the pole. The dogs then chase the duck around the yard outside. It is hilarious to watch them but it is great exercise.

LOL!! I'm at work reading this right now, it's hilarious. My co-workers have to know I'm not doing any real work...Oh well, it's the holidays! LOL
Anyhow, either we're all completely weird or completely normal. I choose the latter. Honestly, think about it...don't you think people who do NOT talk to, rationalize or argue with, sing and dance with, and play with their dogs are weird? I sure do.
I ALWAYS sing songs to my dogs, what ever song is stuck in my head, one that I last heard on the radio during the commute home, or (tis the season) a Christmas song. I always incorporate them into the song lyrics too and NO the lyrics do NOT have to rhyme, just as long as their names are mentioned enough times...like "Oh Holy Night, the stars are brightly shining"...it goes (and please remember that Boscoe has red fur if you didn't see the picture already) "Oh Boscoe Red, you are so very fuuuzzzzzzzyyy......you eat your food and lick your bowl so clean" Or Dia's favorite "Camptown ladies sing this song, Do-daa Do-daa" I say "My fluffy puppy is so soft, Dia, Dia" Yes...I am a dork and I accept it. HAHA

I also get on all four and chase Boscoe around and "bark" at him. He automatically grabs one of his toys and starts running away from me but looks back to make sure I'm chasing him. If I'm not, he chases after me with his toy in mouth. Sometimes I hide behind doors or walls and wait for him to find me...it's hilarious when he finds me because he barks at me as if to say "Don't scare me like that!! I thought you had really left!! Geez!!"
He also follows me to the bathroom...and if I don't let him in with me, then he'll sit in front of the door leaning on it that way when I open it, he gently falls in onto the floor, rolls on his back, looks up at me with a "Fancy meeting you here" look on his face.

I do this with Ender too! He also gets really annoyed whenever I peek around the corner at him. He'll growl and then come dashing at me like he thinks I'm some kind of evil monster! When he turns the corner and realizes it's me, he'll jump up and try to lick me.
Ender is also another in the league of "bathroom waiters." The funniest part is that, being a fluffy, he'll lie up against the door and his fur will be sticking through the little slit between the door and the floor! Sometimes I will poke at it before I exit and he'll retaliate by trying to lick my fingers though the gap.

I've also caught my husband singing and talking to our dogs when he thinks I'm in the other room and can't hear him. He asks them questions...and then says "oh really" as if they had answered! LOL

Last year around Thanksgiving, I was at work and decided to call home early and leave a messge for Riley. When the answering machine kicked in I started singing (to the tune of Little Bunny Foo Foo) "I see my puppy, my furry little puppy. Where's he gonna be at when I get home from work?" Now it's a running spoof at our house and we start mixing up the words for random little things we're doing at the time, and it's usually started by Brandon. I live with two very goofy boys and love it!

*psst* You got this song stuck in my head...I sang it to my pups and changed up the words. They love the melody! THANKS! Don't worry, I'll give you full credit when the copyright is granted.

Heh i always voice what i think my corgis are thinking. Like if I am cooking and one of them is staring with longing eyes I will (in what i think a corgi would talk like voice) say something like "You know... if there is any ingredient you do not need... I will gladly assist in disposing of it... I mean looks to me like there is a lot of extra cheese over there. OH MY GOODNESS A PIECE DROPPED NUM NUM NUM NUM" Always goes from sophisticated to almost insane lol. I do this all the time, people think its funny or just weird.
I also keep there paw fur long, I like to pet it... lots of work to keep it clean though... heh Muffin has the longest paw fur... i call her Mop Paws.

Mop Paws!! LOL!! that is soooo cute!!!
And yes...Corgis do speak in very sophisticated tones....and usually go insane within two minutes! Especially when there's cheese involved! LOL
