Auto-Entertaining DogThis is actually pretty recent, but funny, and not quite as cruel as it could be.
My mom has a Westie that she completely adores - The thing is extremely hyperactive around me for some reason, although she claims that I'm the only person the dog gets that crazy around.
It also happens to be incredibly stupid.
Anyways, I was doing the whole cat-laser pointer game with her two cats when the dog notices, and just goes CRAZY - Pretty much trampling the cats trying to get to it. So, I run her up the stairs, and then back down - over and over and over again. I finally stop because I'm afraid the thing's going to have a heart attack... but it keeps looking for the 'red dot of evil' for about three or four hours.
One day, we decided to have a bit of fun with the dog by rigging the laser pointer so it's alwas on, and attaching it to her collar. The dog went absolutely ballistic, running around in circles EXTREMELY fast, not stopping once... It was quite the chore to catch her once we all stopped laughing.
To this day, if I come over, she starts looking around for the red dot of doom...
