QOTW QOTW #1 What’s one thing your dog does that you will never understand?

[administrator]

We’re launching a brand new weekly series called Question of the Week (QOTW), where the whole community gets to jump in, share stories, and have some fun.

---

This week’s question:

“What’s one thing your dog does that you will never understand?”​

It can be:

• Funny
• Weird
• Confusing
• Surprisingly intelligent
• Total chaos
• Something that makes zero sense but you’ve accepted anyway

Don’t have a dog right now?
No problem, you can share:

• Something a past dog did
• Something a friend’s/family dog does
• Something you’ve seen GSDs do online that blows your mind

---

How it works:​

• Staff will choose a winner Sunday, November 30th
• Likes on answers count as votes, but won’t be the main deciding factor
• Winner gets bragging rights as we test out this new system (and maybe more later)

---

Can’t wait to see everyone’s stories. Let the chaos begin.

When my husband's dog takes a shit, he has to first spin around in a circle. Sometimes multiple times, but never less than once.

I wish I could say he is the only dog I've seen do this.

Rune does this thing where he stares into empty corners like he’s seeing spirits I can’t. I swear he’s reading ancient prophecies from the drywall. No idea what he’s looking at, but he takes it very seriously

When I do laundry, Chase NEEDS to have his head basically IN the dryer as I load and unload it. He's not just supervising, he's in the trenches with me! Interestingly, once the clothes are away from the dryer, he doesn't care about them.

Hims is a lil homemaker. Let the little man do the laundry!

Breaker would walk past a full bowl of water inside… just to go drink rainwater out of a mud puddle like it’s a five star delicacy.

I’ll never understand it, but he did it with conviction.

Why she sprints full speed to the door… then forgets why she went there. Happens daily. Zero shame.

 

[Kaia Murphy]

I’ll never understand how a German Shepherd can go from "elite working athlete" to "melting on the floor because you touched their paw" in 0.2 seconds.

EVERYONE GO HOME THIS IS THE WINNER

I will never understand why mine gives kisses so aggressively. Its not just a lick, so has to really press her tongue right against my face with CONVICTION.

A big thank you to everyone who participated in the very first QOTW on GSDHQ! It was a blast reading all of your stories, and honestly, choosing a winner was far harder than expected.

Even though we originally said there wouldn’t be a prize, we’ve decided to start a fun new tradition. Each QOTW winner will receive an exclusive temporary badge.

Here’s how it works:

• The QOTW Champion badge lasts until the new champion is declared
• If the same member wins again, they keep it
• If a new winner is crowned, the badge transfers to them
• Only one person in the entire community holds the trophy at any given time

A friendly competition that resets constantly and a fun way to celebrate great contributions.

This Week's QOTW Champion is:​

The winning entry:

Congratulations to Enra, our first-ever QOTW Champion! Wear that trophy proudly… until someone tries to steal it next week
