A charming new video has captured hearts online by showcasing the very particular routines and preferences of an Australian Shepherd named Maisie. Shared by her paw parent on Instagram, the clip strings together a series of everyday moments that reveal just how specific and endearing Maisie’s needs and habits really are.
Dog needs a specific pillow for ‘making biscuits’
The video, posted by the account @itsallaboutmaisie, opens with a simple text overlay, “Particular things my Aussie needs.” From the very first clip, Maisie makes her expectations clear. She insists on close contact during car rides, often resting her paw in her owner’s hand for what the text overlay describes as “some kind of skin-to-skin contact.”
That theme continues throughout the montage. Whether it’s needing to sit on a chair to supervise cooking in the kitchen or patiently waiting at the door until her owner walks down the stairs with her, Maisie approaches daily life with a set of personal rules she expects everyone to follow.
One moment that resonated strongly with viewers shows Maisie settling in to “make biscuits,” but only on one specific pillow. Another clip shows her refusing to nap unless she has a proper headrest. The text overlays guide viewers through each habit, turning the video into a playful checklist of Maisie’s quirks from wanting to be lifted into the car or onto the bed, to staying perfectly calm while her harness is put on, only moving once she hears the words “let’s go.”
Maisie completes what appears to be a daily ritual: greeting her owner at the door with a toy already in her mouth. According to the overlay, she “always needs a toy when we walk through the door.” The caption sums it all up neatly: “She’s so funny in her little ways. Do your dogs do any of this?”
