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

[areias]

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. )

Good Grief! If mine travelled any further, it would need a PASSPORT! I have ONE word for it- MONTE! That cat...I swear...if I didn't love him so much, I would have given him the bum's rush a month after I adopted him. I have never known such a 'bad' cat. He is responsible for every single problem in my household, every single one.
