PET Pet Peeves! What do they do that annoy, gross you out....?

[QueenScoopalot]

A slight take off on the "pet peeves' threads that have been circulating..though this one is only about pets! I'm starting this because of my peeve.....
I picked up my two legged boy Gabriel (born with stumps for hind legs) and have been wondering for the last few moments what that smell is? His anal sacks went ~*ick*~ onto my clothing. Note the fumes eminating from this thread yet? Off to change my clothing, and await your pet pet peeves!

My pet pet peeves? There are two, both involving our resident felines. Hairballs on the rug, which both cats are guilty of, and one particular to Pippen, AKA Big and Stupid. He overeats constantly, gets himself sick, and winds up throwing up wherever he winds up after eating.

My pet pet peeve is my little Mitzi mess maker who finds it necessary to fling litter EVERYWHERE when using the litterbox. I have beaches in my hallway and now a broken vacuum cleaner thanks to her "beaches."

Finn's apparent modesty when going #2. He takes me into the bushiest spots, I can hardly follow him. Ha, but, then other times, he'll go right in the middle of the darn street.

I always hated the hairball thing with the kitties...

Dragging out my dirty underwear!!

When the dogs completely ignore everyone that comes over that loves dogs. And then when your grandparents or another important anti-dog person comes over, they go nuts.

Those that have large furry dogs-those damn hairballs floating around in the air during shedding season, and the funny looking tufts sticking out from your dogs flanks.

When they lick their butts or sometimes sniff eachothers!

Dogs are so weird.

That's a dogs way of shaking hands lol! Spencer has the tendency to "hump air" every now and then. I have no idea why...he was neutered at 5 months.

Samantha
~ When it's raining, I have to literally PUSH her out the door to get her to go to the bathroom. Then she tries to trick me by going out of sight for a second and coming back up the stairs like she peed.
~ When the kitties are wrestling, she pouces at them and boofs to break it up. She doesn't realize what entertainment that is!

The Kitties
~ All four love to follow me downstairs when they know I'm scooping. Once the boxes are clean, there is a mad rush for the box and they all dirty it up again - while I'm watching. Kirin once watched me do one, climbed in when I was done and peed, and then watched me go to the other one, scoop and when I was done, he crawled in and pooped.
~ Kirin loooooves to let the entire neighborhood know when he catches his "mousies". Trouble is, he "hunts" the most at night - as in, the middle of - so at 3-4am, Josh and I are woken up by a howling cat.
~ Kimi has a fetish with Josh's glasses. I've lost count how many mornings he's woken up to find them NOT on his bedside table but somewhere else entirely because she snitched them during the night.
~ Kirin likes to scratch random areas on the wall and drag his nails down it, which sounds a lot like nails on a chalkboard.
~ Kirin LOVES being squirted with the water spritzer, so while it's a deterrent for the other three, it isn't for him and he's the biggest punk of them all.

Samantha's pretty good, but the cats are punks.

Reading some of these reminds me of a couple others...Finn will render my undies crotchless if I leave them out. Blech.

He whines if he's outside and we're inside. If he's completely alone, he's fine, but, if he knows we're inside, forget it. It's this horrible, throaty, deep whine, too...not anything like I've heard before.

the friggin 'traveling water bowl'...


And why do I have to pick up after a dog when horse crap is more voluminous, smelly and just as nasty?

I know, I know, I know!


Dogs are carnivorous - they harbor a bacteria called coliform in their gut, from eating meats. (Same with humans who eat meat.) Their 'crap' gets into our water system and causes coliform levels to rise - which is harmful to humans and animals.
Horses eat grains, veggies, etc. Thererfor their 'crap' isn't harmful....well, to the nose it is.

We have one of these - http://www.futurepets.com/cgi-bin/FU...ARTNUM=DOL2000
Where we dispose of our dog's poop. It apparently turns the crap into a harmless liquid that's "safe" for the environment. (This was a part of my Biology class last year. )

The only PET pet peeve I have is Bons mout after he eats or drinks.
He has such large hanging jowels that food sticks to it and water runs off of it like a water fall. We have to make sure his mouth is wiped all the time so he doesn't slime us or get doggie pimples (bacteria can grow in his jowels if not kept clean).
Otherwise I can handle everything else

[Scooby4]

One pet peeve is when my dogs or cat get under my feet constantly. They follow me everywhere!!! I will admit that it can be kind of an "ego" boost to have someone want to follow my footprints but NOT while I am trying to walk in them too!!!
Second pet peeve... When the dogs or cat does something bad or wrong and then look at me like "I am soo sweet and cute... please love me!!!" How can you get mad at that? Especially, when they already know they did wrong and they know you know it. Benji took out a lamp and my piggy bank while I was out. I came home and she didn't greet me. Then I saw the broken glass and she had already gone to the back door waiting to be "tossed out". I laughed soo hard I couldn't be mad.
Third, this is extremely embarrassing ... I came home to find my maxipads torn up all over the floor!!! I don't think my date was too impressed... Took forever to get the cotton filling out of my carpet.
I love my pets but boy they can cause some real peeves!!!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

When Keeva and Winston drink and their last mouthful ends up all over the floor! It seems this a breed trait though as most of the Dobes I dog sit do the same.
