They get on really well. When he is out in the yard and wants to come inside, he's worked out a way to get his family's attention. Odie hates thunderstorms.
While Rebecca isn't such a fan of dogs in beds - especially since last time Odie got into bed with her he jumped on her head during a thunderstorm - Bryce likes it just fine. That was mostly indicated by the dog walking around on all fours like some kind of household pet. That changed sometime around the late s, though. Nowadays, Odie walks around on two legs.
Odie also made a clear transition from puppy to mature adulthood. Nobody else ages in the Garfield universe, but Odie eventually dropped his whiskers and became…well, less puppy-like and more spazzy. He is capable of communicating articulate sentences through barks. Garfield once described him as "honest, true blue, and decent. He often drools huge puddles. The meanings of his barks are not actually discernible like one would assume, and are only made obvious by Garfield.
On the other hand, he does have a bit of a mean streak, like a lot of characters in the strip, as shown when he teases Garfield about his age when June 19, Garfield's birthday, is approaching, via either mimicking the facial expression of an elderly individual; putting a glass of water with dentures near his bed while he sleeps, laughing at his depression about getting older, and using a walking and snapping wind-up toy denture.
He once tossed a bowling ball to Garfield to help him out of the tree, although his mischievous grin after Garfield fell down suggests that it was a prank. Another example was Odie locking Garfield and Jon out of a car, just before a downpour hit. His most cunning trick by far was when, after Garfield used the "Schlocko Laundro-Mutt" to torment him, he sneaked the collar around Garfield's neck before giving him a messy chili dog, thus setting the Laundro-Mutt on the cat; later on, both Garfield and Odie got their revenge by slipping the collar on Jon and throwing mud at him so the Laundro-Mutt would perform one last wash.
In the comic of August 26, , Garfield describes Odie's species as "purebred clown" after trying to find out what kind of dog Odie is with the help of a book. Odie is often kicked or pushed off the table by Garfield or the victim of some practical joke. Odie usually has a long, stretchy tongue and slobbers in his appearances.
Recently, as of , he is seen walking on two feet, instead of all fours, just like Garfield, though this was demonstrated in earlier strips as well.
Odie is the only animal character in the Garfield series without a recurring voice bubble, as he is portrayed as a "normal" house dog. Odie can say, "Yeah", "Huh? He has occasionally been shown thinking. In The Garfield Show , he says some intelligible sentences, and short phrases.
When he talks on Garfield and Friends , he speaks by moving his mouth, although other dogs do not do so. Odie speaks in a similar manner in Garfield Gets Real and its sequels, frequently saying complete sentences ranging from "I don't know", "My bone! Why did the Garfield show end?
What does nermal mean? Does Garfield like Arlene? Is Garfield a tabby cat? What does Garfield say? Are Garfield and Odie friends? Was Garfield named after the president? How did Jon get Garfield? How old is Jon Garfield?
