Just for fun thread

Oh yea, and stealing g strings and underwear, very frustrating. Especially when there are guests at home

Hefner just started chewing on anything rattan and he is teaching Ava to do it too.

Hefner will also get fixated on a human dish on the counter because he is convinced it has food in it that is for his treat and he will bark until he gets a treat.

Chai is soooo fast that she follows right behind me and before I give the "stay" command she will zip by me out the door.

I forgot to add that I am tired of tripping over my shoelaces because she sits under my comp desk and unties my shoes...if she can't get them untied she attaches to them and I drag her all over the house attached to my feet...it is kinda cute though!

Hmmmmmm......Tiah doesn't get into the laundry whether it is dirty or clean, she doesnt need a leash outside and comes every time I call her, only plays with her toys out of the basket, ummmm, I guess the thing that she does do that irritates me is half my fault....I can't seem to trim a dog nail without turning it into a lethal weapon....so, my pieve would be how she turns that lethal weapon on me and leaves welts sometimes when she is up and down, up and down from my lap CONSTANTLY. Also, If I happen to want a snack while sitting on the couch, she automatically turns into a Yorkie Shawl. It would be cute, but she uses the lethal weapon I trimmed on my collar bone to hold herself in place (while sitting on my hair and pulling it at the same time). (LOL)

[Deegan's mom]

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I forget to close my closet door it, and it has all my dirty clothes in it. Deegan will drag my clothes out one by one and string them them all through the house. It it cute, as long as it isn't my bra's or thongs.

Another thing he does it bark back at me if I tell him to be good, or be quiet. It's like he's a teenager.

And of course when he escapes the yard, which hasnt happened too much, but it sure does put a panic attack in me.

Great thread. Well I love my Stomper boy to death, but I hate:

1) When he barks like crazy and does not listen when we say "No bark"
2) They way he acts when we take him to the vet - they can't even handle him and say "is he the boss in the family??!!"
3) When he does not listen. He is the total alpha dog no matter how much training we do
4) When he listens ONLY for treats. No treats, no listen! That is the Stomper rule.
5) That he wakes up EVERYDAY at 5:30 AM (even when I am not ready too!)

Although I can say I hate these things, I wouldn't change Stomper for the world. He might not always listen, he thinks he is the boss in the house AND he wakes up early in the morning....he still gives the BEST kisses and is always happy to be and see me. What else could you ask for??!!

My biggest pet peeve (sp?) about TJ is that he pees on towels. He is about 90% potty trained, but if there is a towel on the ground, he pees on it no matter how close he is to his litter box.

My biggest pet peeve (sp?) about Riley is that he likes to play the game "Catch Me" He grabs something he shouldn't have (his favorite thing is money) and runs all over the house with it so that you can't catch him.

This is such a fun thread!

OMG, YAgility! Why on earth do they do that? Bo drives me insane doing that! He'll come to me and bark to go out. I say, "Bo, do you want to go potty?" Bo answers, "Bark, Bark!!!" Affirmative. So I get up and say, "Let's get your harness." But when I get it, I can't catch him to put the freakin' thing on him!!!!! He lays his ears back and here we go on our low-speed chase around the living room. After a couple of times, he kinda stops and sheepishly lets me pick him up. The little toot! If a trainer like you has the same prob how can a fly-by-the-seat of my pants yorkie mommy ever gain control??? I just can't seem to get inside his head and figure out why he does this. I mean HE is the one who said he wanted to go out, lol!!

Quote, KLogan - When he listens ONLY for treats. No treats, no listen! That is the Stomper rule

Ain't that the truth!!!

[simonandhallie]

Oh My...where do I start!

Simon: He really has a mind of his own when it comes to everything. The biggest pet peeve for me though is that he firmly believes that everyone that comes to the door is there to play ball. He will whine, cry, scream, until they throw his ball. He hates to be brushed/bathed and loves to roll in dead things outside so it is always a production

Hallie: She has "found her voice" so to speak. Her new thing is to squeel like a pig until she gets what she wants (I swear that is what it sounds like). It doesn't matter what it is but lately it is usually Simon's soccer ball. She also likes to give me a look that tells me she's mad, I swear it is the most hateful look I have ever seen. She doesn't like it when I love on Simon. She refuses to sleep anywhere other than my pillow with her butt in my face!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE them to pieces.

When I baby talk Ruby instead of being nice and allowing me to pet her she starts bitting my finger and trying to tear it apart like she does with her favorite squeeky toys. Only on rare ocasions does she get on her tummy for a rub.

[jennifermcb]

1. It irks me when the puppies are asleep, and as soon as I make to leave the room, they both wake up and follow. Stay asleep, please! Otherwise, I feel obligated to sit in the room until the finish their nap

2. Sophie is in her 'teenage years.' She won't come when called anymore.

Nobella- great idea to start this thread!

This is a pet peeve for my cat and my dog: My cat Theo is a bit of a trouble maker. We're convinced that he leads Olivia to something and secretly tell her to do destrutive things. Olivia turns deaf when I yell at her not to do these things if Theo is around. Examples: 1) Theo's litter box is in the back bedroom. Olivia's favorite snack these days is "Theo Bites." There are gates and doors around this area so that Olivia can't get in unless we're in that part of the house. Theo doesn't spend any time in that room unless Olivia is in that part of the house. Then, Theo HAS to be in that room because he knows that Olivia is his shadow and will follow him in there. Once in there, Theo sits on the floor and just watches as Olivia digs through the litter box to find the "hidden treasures." So gross! No matter how loud I yell or what I bang on to get her attention Olivia can't hear a thing until I go in there and catch her! 2) Theo ripped the lining on our box spring a while back. Olivia rips the stuffing out of it. The bedroom door is usually closed, but Theo always is trying to open it. If he is able to open it, he shoots under the bed and Olivia follows him. There are no toys, food, open windows for him to look out of, etc. in that room- no reason for him to want to be in there at all, but he is obsessed with going in there when she's around. They don't even play in there- Theo darts under the bed, Olivia follows and by the time I get there she has stuffing in her mouth. She doesn't go under the bed when she's in there by herself, and neither does he- no desire to what-so-ever. They are true partners in crime.

Olivia is so jealous if we give attention to Theo. She came into HIS house so we can't understand the jealousy thing. If we pick up Theo and pet him, or pet him when he's on the back of the couch, she attacks him. She'll bite on him and play rough to punish him for getting our attention. She even gets this really snotty bark if he does anything to defend himself! Like "how dare you touch my humans and then not let me eat your face off!" When we yell at her she just looks up at us with the most innocent face, like "what?"

My pet peeve with Lillie is when we go out in the front yard and she goes in the flower beds and finds just the right redwood chip, grabs it, runs back in the house, and then hides under the coffee table chewing it to bits on the WHITE carpet, while I try to get it away from her!

Great post!

Mac: I cannot sit down regardless of where and Mac will bark until I pick him up so he can sit on my lap. He has to bury his treats in the cushion of my Antique sofa and then bark and dig until he's had enough. This doesn't start until 10:00 at night. That he always has to be the first and last to be petted or kissed.

Mellie: The second you turn your head she is under the fence and then looks at you from the other side and wants you to chase her. She a foot licker/biter the second she see barefeet she's after them. She has to walk across the room with her food to eat it.

Neither one will let me go to the bathroom alone EVER.
No matter how many seconds I leave the house you think I haven't seen them in years and have to pick them up and give them kisses. This is even if I open the front door to get the mail.
