Spirit snorts/grunts when she gets excited. ESPECIALLY when she's doing weave poles. It's so adorable.
What are your Sheltie's funny quirks?

maybe she is saying I think I can, I know I can, I show y'all I can...self talk to get her through the process. It sounds adorable. Or maybe it is like bring it on...take that-I aced it, ha.

She's always been very confident about the weaves - I think it's more the "Bring it on! Take that! I aced it"!!!!!!!

Cooper and the Belles? Quirks? They are perfectly normal and quirkless. 
Unless you count things like refusing to wear the purple collar because you like the green one. Always choosing the pink toy. Things like that- then Here are a few more quirks from my quirky quirks.
Tara nibbles her front left knee when you rub her belly. Annabelle licks the air when you scratch her butt. All of the Belles have to sleep with their heads on something pillow like (it can be an actual pillow, a stuffed animal or the side of a cloth dog bed, or just scrunched up fabric). Tara owns the dog bed by the dresser. DH keeps bringing it out from under the dresser, so Tara has to keep pushing it back under. This is where she sleeps if she isn't wrapped around my head. Cooper desperately wants to be BCF with one of the cats. He doesn't care which one, he just wants one of the them to love him and play with him like they do with the Belles. They don't because Cooper is rougher then the Belles, but he doesn't understand that- AT ALL. Annabelle and her cat Caruso are always together. Clara refuses to eat her evening meal unless it has yogurt coating it. The exact same food is fine in the morning. Cooper watches TV with us. He sits right beside me and watches TV. Clara refuses to allow birds into her yard. I used to love feeding birds. Now, it seems unfair to put food out when I know she'll try to kill them for entering her space.
Would any of these things be considered quirks?

Okay, here are Cleo's funny quirks. One thing she does is when one of the kids are running through the house, she grabs a toy and then chases them. Now of course I'm yelling at them to stop the running but I still find it funny what she does. She could just be standing there, then the kids run and she has to grab a toy to run after them with. Also if they close the door on her, she grabs a toy or blanket and starts to shake her frustration out on it. She hates being left out of a room when someone else is in there. Another one she has is if you stare her down and get closer to her, she starts to turn her head to the side and looks at you from the side out of one eye. It is hilarious! She does it to dogs too. She also refuses to sleep in her crate with anything on the bottom. I bought this soft fleece crate pad and she just pushes it to the side to lay on the hard plastic. I even put a nice soft blanket in there thinking she didn't like the fleece pad and nope, she did the same thing.

Fillion has a stretching routine he does almost every time that cracks me up. He stretches down into the play bow, then comes up, taps his right front foot three times, then finishes off with an arabesque with his left rear leg. Never changes feet or changes the count! 
Koko wants to "walk the line". If we are on a street with painted lines marking the right side he is on it. I didn't realize at first he was following the line till I pulled him closer as a car was coming past us. Then he went right back on the line. On our side streets the county (in lieu of actually fixing the road!) fills the cracks with tar. This leads to some funny visuals because the tar lines are squiggly and he looks silly walking those lines! The down side is I get an ear worm of Johnny Cash singing I Walk the Line every time he does this

ah the arabesque brings back my days in ballet with my not so nice teacher telling us get that leg up, and if you didn't she had the pointer stick lifting it...great visual...
