dryer fetish
Seriously weird.

They would probably love your dog to advertise some bounce or something! So fresh and clean even the dogs can't resist!  |
Okay three thoughts - do you even use dryer sheets ? how cold is your house ?  and ever leave treats in packets and she found one in the dryer? that's all it would take ofr one of mine to check something alllll the time  |
| Jenny always has her head in there when I open the dyer door -- her only mission is to try to do a steal and run with whatever she can grab out of there. |
| That would make me crazy especially since Daisy has what my kids call "gravy face" all the time. |
Tiggy would be checking it out in order to snatch some fabulous item of intimate apparel that she absoutely must have. 
Is it vented to the outdoors? Maybe she likes to check out how the outdoors is smelling. Having said that my siamese cat LURVES the dryer too. He takes every chance to get in it. Something of a worry as I have to check it before I turn it on. Siamese love the heat so I've wondered if he thinks its permanently warm. Doubt its that for a sheepie though. |
My Tipup cat too:
And this cat seriously thinks he's a dog - the dryer was not warm! Maggie the coonhound is the only one who puts her head in the dryer as I unload - she is just that nosy!!!! She has to smelll EVERYTHING out there, and she full contact sniffs whatever it is. |
| Curiosity? Mine do it with the dryer as well as the dishwasher
Try unlaoding clean dishes from the dishwasher here, I am sure they get a lick on the way out from the boof head that refuses to move his head. Shhh dont tell anyone the dishes here get a lick of approval before being put away in the cupbaord. |

how cold is your house ? and ever leave treats in packets and she found one in the dryer? that's all it would take ofr one of mine to check something alllll the time 1) Don't use dryer sheets (please, domestic diva, I ain't! )
2) not cold enough to bother an OES, for sure 
. . . 3) yes, she may have found some treats in there, but not in forever, and certainly not since I replaced the old dryer which gave out under the tremendous pressure of keeping up with dog towels and dog bedding and.... If she's still scouting for treats, talk about a behavior that is hard to extinguish!!!!! But then again, given her pedigree, not unthinkable.
4) sniffing the great outdoors...Quite possible. And, yes, it is vented to the great outdoors. Never considered that. 5) stealing clothing. Well, despite being named Macy after the department store (I did NOT name her), she doesn't exactly have a great sense of style. Then again, maybe she DOES. Because that could explain why she hopefully checks religiously, but never finds anything of mine that would pass for even low fashion. Maybe if grunge makes a come back...
6) so far no bounce commercial offers, Mrs J, but I'll keep that in mind
7) my cat wouldn't be caught dead in the dryer (cute pic, Dawn!), so I know she's not looking for him... Simple explanation: neurons aren't firing quite right in the upstairs department? 
She has another weird habit I can't figure out. I buy big basted bones for them on a pretty regular basis. I buy six or more at a time and they're pretty durable, so they're around for a while, often even after I've decided I need news ones. They used to wait till I fell asleep and then evidently have a chew fest all night long. I'd wake up surrounded by bones like I'd passed out in a graveyard. Not my favorite way to start the day! These days they're all over the house, but at more rapidly diminishing rates. I couldn't quite figure out where they were going, except that some were inexplicably showing up outside. I don't want them outside. If animal control ever happens by they'll probably cite me for having dead dog remains in my yard, or something. I'll be all over the news as the next greatest "puppymill" bust, or dog abuser, or whatever. So as I'm picking up poop, I pick up the bones and toss them. I must miss a few rounds during snow storms and such, because when it thaws, there are piles here and there again. 
Finally one morning as I was letting the dogs out, I realized Mace had a bone in her mouth. I confiscated it. Next morning, same deal. This has gone on for a few weeks now. Some times she gets by me. Mostly not. This morning after I confiscated the bone du jour, I dropped it back on the floor. When I called the dogs back in, Mace saw it, grabbed it, turned and hightailed (well...as much as a docked breed can hightail anything) it back outdoors. My only thought is that she's secretely trying to collect enough bones to make a replica of tyrannosaurus rex or...? All this time I've been concerned about her sister's (multiple) personality disorders! It's always the quiet ones, isnt' it?

I got sick of the amount of yelling and shouting and flapping of wash cloths etc to convince them to get lost. So now I just load and unload around two boof heads. Rastus gets sick of the clean unload but Tiggy hangs around just in case. |

Heaven's no! They'er just strewn around like something or somethings died out there!

| Maggie and Chewie have an ongoing "thing" with those bones as well.
One occasionally finds it's way out in the dog yard, but not often - thank goodness. Chewie and Maggie go back and forth over the same bone, even though there are 3 of them currently. They also make great stumbling blocks on the floor - ouch! Chewie always chews on his outside our bedroom door. Seeing our room is babygated, that is as close as I will get to being surrounded by bones. I step on them every morning..... So, he must have some of the same genes as his loving sisters and mom, and aunty.
And, he does it real loud just as Todd is going to bed and is trying to fall asleep. If he chews on it just right, it also rubs on the riser of the upstairs steps that is right across from our door. It echos and makes the LOUDEST sound! I swear Chewie is smiling..... |

Chewie and Mace were always a matched pair. KB |
| Dutch sticks her head in wherever it will go .. dryer, dishwasher, drawer, cupboard etc, etc but then she is just plain nosey |

KB Every once in a while, if Morgan for some reason thinks he hasn't had enough to eat, I will find a dirt covered (and sometimes creepy crawly covered), bone on the porch and a dirty faced Morgan getting ready to settle in for a snack. |
| It is the dishwasher that attracts archie.
These appliances must be like curious shiny caves? |
| Baloo is like Jean's Duchess... very plain nosey.
He has to stick his head in everything- grocery sacks, open cupboards, the shoes you just took off, the dishwasher, dryer, closet, oven (yes-oven! and I have screamed because I thought he was going to burn himself!). He loves coat pockets, son's sports bag, the list goes on. It's like he has to see & then sniff anything everywhere then he is happy and will either walk away or sit and "watch" |
| It is so nice to see that I am not alone....from the cat in the dryer to the dogs helping fill the dishwasher. I often wonder what would i do without all of their help. The funny thing is my group is pretty smart, they NEVER come to help empty the clean dishes out of the dishwasher....after all "what is in it for them?" On the other hand, I have a lot of paws/heads helping fill the dishwasher. |
| My guys never do any of this.
I feel deprived  |

I feel deprived Next time I'm rushing around before work trying to get the breakfast dishes stacked and a load of washing on, with the hairy help underfoot I'll think of you and how terrible it is for you not to have a hairy housemaid. |

Isn't that the truth! Mine think the dishwasher is a gold mine! They have such a disappointed look when they figure out we are UNloading! |
