Bailey likes Baileys. :rofl1:

He actually generally doesn't like alcohol, and really dislikes red wine (all based on smell; he's never tried these). I let him sniff my Baileys once so he'd know he didn't really want it, and instead he decided to take a drink. LOL.

Bailey is a pretty happy dude in general. He loves it when we get packages, but that's because they often have stuff for him. Same with people coming over, they must all come to see him! For some reason, he gets really excited when the phone rings. And since my iPhone has the generic ring, sometimes he gets excited when phones on TV ring.

Grace loves everything. And it all needs to go in her mouth. :)

The dogs all have a sweet tooth for candy (especially Kiba). Lincoln LOVES Cheez-Its. He normally jumps into my lap when he wants something I have, but he curls up and cuddles and acts cute for Cheez-Its.

Dance is obsessed with my mom's nail polish and nail polish remover (which she tries to use outside if it's nice out). And her nail file. And apparently peppermint essential oil, too. Basically, if it smells strong enough that you don't really want to be in the same room with it for long, Dance is all over it. I have no idea why. She repeatedly will come up, sniff, make a funny face, and do it over and over all the while her tail is going a mile a minute and she looks super happy. But it can't be good for her so we do tell her to knock it off and go away. At which point she does and then just stares.

And if my mom and I are home together and we're going somewhere, they all get stupid excited when we put our shoes and jackets on. Because after all, why else would we be going somewhere together without them! In all honesty, I don't even know why they think that as we do go places together a lot of times without them. But they're ever so hopeful.

Dance is enthralled with beer also. Nobody in my house drinks very often, but if others come over and have a beer, Dance wants it so bad. The Dobermans like it too, but they're less moochy over all than Dance is and are not obsessive about it.

I'm not really sure what else gets them excited. Most of the things that get them excited are dog things.

Oh god how could I forget this. Squash loves brooms SO MUCH. He is drawn to them like a magnet. Especially push brooms. He likes to jump on them. He likes to carry them around. Oddly, he doesn't really chew them. But if I need a REALLY stellar reward for something, I give him the head off a push broom.

Juno starts bouncing around and spinning in circles when I grab a paper bag from the kitchen - this generally means that I'm going outside to clean up poo in the yard, and inevitably that means I'll play fetch with her as well.

Caleb comes running as soon as you take the peanutbutter out of the pantry, pushi the computer keyboard in or take ice cubes out of the tray and when he hears the Altoids tin open.

When I close my laptop. hahahaha
HAHAHA mine love that, too :p

They also like water bottles, a specific blanket that I use on the couch (when I get that blanket out, it means cuddle time LOL), and Kimma is a wine-o. Found that out by accident when my MIL used to sometimes leave glasses of wine (empty, full, and everything in between) on an end table... They also like when I pick up and/or put on my sunglasses.

ETA - OH YEAH! And they all like pretzels?

Fozzie is a very non-traditional dog. He loves beer. He tipped over a 40 oz beer once and drank it before anyone noticed. He also loves balloons... he'll chase a balloon around, throwing it up in the air and hitting it with his nose, for hours. He also enjoys watching fireworks. :p He's just a party dog!

Haha that's the main one.

Also if I grab my tennis shoes.

Bernard is our resident alcoholic. He got his tongue down a beer bottle once (it was empty but still had some on the side). He goes CRAZY if anyone has a beer around him and he will just try and try to get to the beer.

When I make fries or tater tots Roxie comes in the kitchen and stares until they're done because I always drop some...

Roxie also gets excited about my laptop being shut off.

Number one thing that makes her happy is the ferrets. She LOVES them, and loves having a "job" (she watches over them and lets me know if one is naughty or not feeling well)

The air conditioner. OMG it's ridiculous how happy she gets, when it gets turned on she lays in front of it with the stupidest grin on her face the whole time it's on.

Kicking a person off the couch to make room for her. She finds it hilarious that she has such control :p

ETA: OH, and car rides. Car rides make her the happiest dog ever.

Lettuce! All of them go nuts for lettuce.
You forgot ice :D

Oh my god also loves rides, but she doesn't stare out the window... She stands on the arm rest and stares out the windsheild the entire time while leaning on me, and only moves if she sees a big truck she has to protect me against. I love driving with her because it's such a special time.

Remembered another one this afternoon.

Musty clothing.

If I leave my dresser drawer open, she will dig her head in the drawer and pull out the shirt from the waaaay depths of the corner, and roll around in it, cuddle it, nuzzle it, etc until she is convinced she has absorbed all the scent. It is adorable and disturbing at the same time. And it's my cue that I need to do more laundry.

Maddie has taught Bailey to love Ice. Maddie's the alkie, but she prefers Smirnoff. The both like freshly mowed grass, and my best friend. Maddie's a blanky baby, Bailey prefers just the mattress and sleeping upside-down lol... they both love car rides. Maddie loves ferrets and they both love pizza-movie night and :popcorn:

No, I do not know why.
Bailey, too! lol
