Pet Peeves??

[sandragonfly]

Rottieluver45 - I agree! 400%! Someday I'd love to make a new law...if police sees any dogs in the back of truck...s/he is getting a a bear citation! Do you guys know if there already have a law like that....or how can we set that up!? Someday....we, all the pets community will! Pets Rule!

wolf_Q - *chuckles* I know what you mean, not one of us would mean it, but we're learning something new..like I did from you! Some pets behaved the way the others don't.

All Creatures Great And Small- Thanks for the welcoming! Made my day Yeah, have had a bad day already....(never with any animals) But they are not here with me today....once again..thanks!

To all - thanks so much for responding! Enjoying learnin' something new...esp to be prepared

Raiding the rubbish bin during the night and leaving mummycat to clean up the mess
Vomiting on the carpet even though the tiles are only inches away
Wreaking havoc at 5am and then sleeping the rest of the morning while we are tired all day!

But that's nothing really. What really gets on my nerves is my neighbours. They have two big dogs in a small house block and never walk them.

Both: occasionally there is 'duelling litter pan digging' contests staged in our bathroom at 3 a.m. Sometimes I wish the fur-kids were equipped with noise suppressors! LOL AmberLee

I don't have too many pet peeves about Juneau but he also does that playing dumb thing around other people, lol. And that aaaaaawwwwfullll slurrrrrpppp noise when he cleans himself! EwwWWwWWWw. Sometimes he steals human food, anything that touches the floor is his, also he stole half a chocolate orangey thing off my desk and gobbled it, grrrr.

[NoahsMommy]

Noah: How he bites people that come over, especially after I tell people what a little lover boy he is to us.

Noel: Having a "tortietude" is cute, just not ALL the time...

Basil: That EVERY TIME I go to kiss/pet/talk to Noah, Basil is over there in 2 seconds flat...he wants to love Noah too...thus Noah gets annoyed and walks away. Its really hard to give Noah lots of extra loving (because of Olivia being there) when Basil has to help!

Olivia: She is the dominant kitty in the house and we've just learned she gaurds the bed at night! Now, Noah, Noel and Basil are afraid to sleep with us at night!!!! This makes me so mad!!!!

Nebo is totally independent at times. He definitely has that husky attitude...meaning.....yeah, he knows what you want him to do, but maybe he just doesn't feel like doing it lol. He'll behave *great* for me, but if I ask him to do tricks in front of people he really enjoys acting dumb. When he was in puppy kindergarten he'd be great at home, and pretend I wasn't there in class.

I don't think it is strictly a Husky thing. I mean mines a Golden and if you want to see the ultimate independent dog - it's Dixie! Actually she is an Alpha Bitch in every sense of the word but she is 100% loyal to me. All I have to do is ignore her and she goes nuts!!! When I tell her to do something and she gives me that "you want what?" look I cross my hands and turn my back on her and she immediately does what I told her too!! LOL She can't stand for me to ignore her. I guess this is her Pet Peeve!

Amy - I just wanted to let you know that 99% of all dogs do wonderful at home and act like they were never worked in class. This is normal. He is not acting dumb but is truly distracted by the environment because there is so much more to focus on than you. lYou need to start working Nebo around distractions. This is taking his training to the next higher level. In a non formal class environment take him where there are alot of distractions and work on his attention there. Go to the Pet store, a park, anywhere there are other dogs or kids. When he focus's on you and not the environment, praise him and reward him like crazy. This is an excellent area for clicker training!

OK - My Major pet peeve is when they go out and roll in the dirt immediately after I give them a bath (this never fails)! Rolling in smelly stuff when we go for walks in the woods is also very aggrivating to me.

If you substitute Dakky for Basil, and Tenny for Noah, that is my house! I cannot have two seconds alone with Tenny without Dakky coming on over to bust up the love fest. UGH!!!

Other than that, and that isn't really a PP, nothing my cats do gets on my nerves. They are absolutely perfect.....

And, I do it so tongue in cheek!!! I do it to my mom sometimes, and I don't think she appreciates my humor, I don't know why!

I answer my cell phone, "mobile law office"when my sister is calling me!

[Tanya&Fritz]

Hans - his barking, he'll bark at anything.

Fritz - his kissing. He loves to lick your face. I don't mind one kiss, but 10 is way too many.

Sparky - when he bugs Hans.

I can't stand their jealousy. It's impossible to pet just one!

Edwina's obession with drinking from the humidifer (particularily when she has a nice fountain of her own)


and being such a bi*** whenever my mother is visiting (it's because my mother's dog is ALWAYS with her)

[AmberLee]

Thank you for starting this thread about pet annoyances. Our pet hooman can be a real pest!

Cassy: My meowmy just doesn't understand the allure and excitement of going outies! I gots ta sneak out to really get a good sniff of stuff and stretch my legs. Boy. It's an exciting world out there and Meowmy wants to keep me in cotton wool. I's a BIG boy now. Or, worse yet, she wants me to go walkies on a leash. How can I look like the tough guy I am on a ... l-e-a-s-h, I ask ya? I gotta slink by the next building in case the cute Siamese chick there sees me going walkies with my Meowmy. And Virgil, the Tom across the parking lot comes and sits on our patio and chants, "Leash walky Cassy, youse a dumb cat." It's humiliating. Oh, and at night when Meowmy's on her puter and tippy-typing and tippy-typing and tippy-typing away and I come in and remind her she has a gorgeous boy (me, ahem) wiff my claws on her hip she hurts my delicate ears wiff her screams. What is it wiff hoomans, anyway? My claws aren't that sharp.

Livvy: As you know, I am a furry love-godess. So I've got a responsibility to my fans and devotees. Lots of beauty sleep, lots of baffies, ... it's a burden, but one I gladly bear to maintain the standard, you understand. It seems like everytime I settle down for a refreshing snooze, my Meowmy sneaks up with a flashy light thing and wakes me up! She calls it a camera; I call it a nuisense. Humpf! Them flash light thingies make my eyes go ouchie! She should stop. And SOMETIMES she FORGETS to give me my nightly massage. What if I should lose my gently rounded figure? What is she thinking anyway. She should be more con-sid-er-ate, she should. Well, she's merely hooman, has a good heart, and a firm hand on the kibble dispenser, so I guess I should cut her some slack.

Hoomans: can't live wiff em, can't live wiffout em.

[AmberLee]

Does your hooman sit in the play tub wiff WATER in it? What's at all about, anyway? She can't be trying to drink at stuff. Maybe she's trying to baffy herself? Silly hoomans! We worry about her sanity sometimes.

[sandragonfly]

I thought of one more...A huge pet peeves is when I see someone feed their Cats/Dogs the human food!!! Due to the experiences of my friends', killed, stomach removal, vomits and all...*yughy*. If Mocha eats a beef, actual size as same as ONE of rabbit's pellet, that fell on the floor in kitchen..she WILL make a yellow digusting puddle on our carpet in couple of hours...
