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

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

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!!!

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.

Bubba's fur drives me crazy...I will never have another dog with long hair! If he has a messy poop he needs an entire bath, if he throws up he stinks until he gets a bath.

Casey is totally low maintenance.

Nicki looooooves tissues. The more "Flavored" the better. She also adores used "feminine products" (even worse once they come back up.) She also HATES when hubby and I cuddle. He calls her BC (birth control!) We might not be doing anything other than holding hands and she barks her head off until we stop.

Allen pees on any blankets that are on the floor. Even if its two minutes, he swoops in and sprays.

Pouncer has a fascination with rolling around in litter -- dirty or clean, he rolls in it.

Peanut - at home she's the perfect little girl, I love her to bits and she can do no wrong! However, in the motorhome.....

She must drink with her paw, which is not a problem at home with the carpeting - the paw is dry by the time she hits the tile floor, but in the motorhome, the tile floor is about all there is, so she takes a drink, then proceeds to walk from the back all the way to the front and she leaves little wet paw marks the entire way.

But that's not the worst of it....uUsually the litterbox is in the shower, but for about an hour in the morning it needs to come out so we humans can take a shower - sorry Peanut, we can't just lick ourselves clean like you can. She will not use the litterbox all morning, until the second I take it out of the shower! Then she's in it, and out of it, then back in it, then out of it, then it's time for the big dig, then, without going at all, she's out of it, then it's time for a drink....so the paw is wet...then she's back in, then out and tracking not only wet paws all over the tile, but clumpy litter too! She is in and out so many times in that hour it's completely ridiculous, and when she's done the floor looks like a tile lined sand box, which we then have to step on with our wet feet as we get out of the shower.

Finally she'll slow down with the in and out, but she won't totally settle down and leave the litterbox alone until we're both out of the shower and I've got the litterbox back in the shower stall. Then she wants nothing to do with it!

Whew! Glad I got that off my shoulders.

CJ - the only thing I really don't like that he does is his meowing while we're driving in the motorhome. At home he is a little goofball and if anything, I would like him to be a bit more cuddly and sleep with me, but those aren't really pet peeves. His meowing while we're driving though, is enough to drive me insane!

When Kia will sit either in front of the TV or in the kitchen and whine loudly. She'll have food and water in her bowls. She doesn't want to go out or play, just wants to stare at me and whine.

Ugh!

**IRescue452** · 11-01-2005, 10:55 AM

Pepper- she's so old that she shakes like a cold chihuahua, it drives me nuts.
Sonny- meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow his rendition of the cat food commercials, and when you want him to come by you to get pet he'll walk up to you and stop a few inches too far.
Autumn- the puppydog eyes she gives me when I leave for college, she fetches a toy and quickly snaps her head away when you reach for it, she has a real high pitched bark when she's frustrated at me and when she knows I'm hiding the ball behind my back
Morty- always hisses when I shut the closet door its like the door has a sound effect
Depot- begs for food with this great big wide open mouth like a baby bird

Maggy: When we're outside, she barks NON STOP! I don't know if she's "announcing" that we're outside, but she just barks...AT NOTHING! She also likes to lick. And lick and lick and lick. And it's not a quiet lick, its a loud slurping lick. She'll do this in the middle of the night. So, if she's licking my husbands leg, I hear "slurp, slurp, slurp" until I tell her to stop. She'll also lick the sheets a leave a big wet spot. She also doesn't know how to respect mine and my hubby's "private time." She thinks that we have to throw her ball while we're trying to have our "quality time" together.

Payton: COUNTER SURFING I cannot empasize this one enough. Counters and cats don't mix in my house. Payton doesn't care. All my counters have sticky tape on them, and even a scatmat (thank you Kuhio). But he'll just go where there's no tape of mat. I think what urkes me more than anything is that he outsmarts me.

Sammy: He sheds something aweful. That doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that he will only come and rub on my legs if I have black pants on AFTER I've taken the lint brush to them. Here he comes, all sweet, meow, head bumpy, meow, black pants are now white and orange again. He also will meow at me like a starved maniac for food, BEFORE he checks his dish. He'll act like he hasn't eaten in months, but there's food in his bowl!
