when i was little, i was in the hurdles event in elementary school. one day i was outside with my mom and i jumped over the dog. my mom told me that the dog would shrink if i did, so from that day on i would jump backwards over the dog to keep it from shrinking.

jack jump over the shrinking dog! :)

I was really little and we had a male dog laying on his back and my mom, my sister and I were petting his belly. This dog had uhh very prominent testicles and I pointed to them and asked what it was. My mom laughed hysterically and told me it was his butt. I believed her, but still wondered why his butt hung down like that.

When I was small, our BIG white male Pomeranian, Moosey, used to howl constantly when there were female dogs in heat in the neighborhood. Mom took him to the vet one day and when he came back he didn't howl anymore. She told me she had his voice taken out. I believed this until I was 13, despite the fact that he could still bark. By this time, the dog was dead, but I still firmly believed his voice had been taken out. In reality, he was simply neutered.

I used to think that all cats were girls and all dogs were boys.

I used to think my cat's tail was her baby. I don't know why I thought that, but I used to bring her tail up to he face and tell her to "kiss her baby."

When I was about 8, while walking in the woods with my best friend, we heard a dog barking. She whispered in a scared voice that it was a German Shepherd. I gasped, not knowing what a German Shepherd was. I assumed it was some type of freaky monkey/monster combination.

When I was little, and even now, I believed that I had to watch my cats when I brought them home to see if they were good or evil. I was afraid they might try to kill me or eat me at night if I went to sleep so I could never go to sleep when I brought them home on the first night.

I used to tell my lads, when they were younger, that 'cats eyes' were in fact cats set into the road to aid drivers. These cats were mounted on springs that retracted when you ran over them. They still believe me!

When I was little, I used to think that cats and dogs thought in English???

When I was a kid, my mom used to tell me that dogs & cats ate grass because they were bored. Like so many other things she told me, I believed her until I was an adult and found out other wise.

When I was younger, I knew how male cats and dogs were neutered. However, I couldn't think of how they spayed female cats and dogs.

Being a girl myself, I knew girls had vaginas and boobs, I though female animals had them too, I knew that they couldn't cut off someones vagina, so I though that when a female animal was spayed, they just cut off its boobs.

I wondered what boobs had to do with reproduction..but it made more sense to me at the time.

My cat acts like she's bipolar. One moment she's nice and the next she'll attack out of nowhere. So when I was little, I didn't think both sides of her personality could possibly be the same cat so I figgured we had 2 cats, that looked exactly the the same, and while one was out wondering the house, the other was hiding in the basment, so we could never see them both at the same time.

When I was little, about four or five, I used to believe if you ate enough cat food you would actually turn into a cat.

Kitty

I think that cats are either
a) Just as smart as we are, but their voices dont exist... yet
b) Are smarter than us, but think we are really stupid so they dont talk to us

i know it sounds stupid... I am kinda crazy

i used to think that alsation dogs were called 'alanbunseries'....until i was about 20. They're not are they?

I believed when my granmother said during a big storm that if I slept with my pet dog or cat, the thunder could shoot me in my bed.
Because the animal fur attracted the electricity.

Jessica

My brother used to believe that our dog could talk and only I could understand what our dog was saying. For hours, I would make stuff of what our dog was saying. My brother would listen to every word. My mum was grateful I got him of her hands for an hour or two!

Emma

When i was a kid, my lawn was all bumpy andi thought they were kittens under the grass so i used to avoid it at all cost.

Angela

When my friend was small his brother told him that they made lipstick out what came out of the end of a dog when it got..um.. excited. He had a total meltdown one day when his mom was putting lipstick on.

Until age eleven, I thought that all baby poodles were pink and fluffy, and that when they got older, they turned white and 'curly'.
