I have a pet peeve. Literally!
We have this Sheltie, Ian. And no, not named after any of the relatives, although there's a couple who could wear his name on the dog tag quite deservingly. Another peeve for another time.
Now Ian is too damned smart! Way so. Every thing we've taught him he picks up within mins. Which for the most part, is a good thing, right? But this guy watches your every move, and we are both with him for 24/7 now so there's lots of viewing/learning going on, and he's starting to pick up things that we HAVEN'T taught him... like opening a latched door that has been closed in the first place. Because of him, I caught hell the other day for leaving it unlatched until I discovered the real culprit who's responsible.
Then, there's the cuddle time. He will not settle down unless he gets this one on one cuddle/hugs episode before he goes to bed, and will demand this no matter how late it is. No cuddle, no sleep.
Finally, there''s the muzzle that we've had to resort to, as being a herd-type of dog, he's perpertually warning us of the dangerous clouds, killer squirrels, or the beastly birds who are daring to infiltrate our property, which in reality he's probably thinking it's really his. So, lately, BEFORE we can put the device on, we have to find it. This canine hides it! Some times in obvious places, but he's getting better at it! The mail boxes ain't that far from the house, so the postal people may get an unwanted reward some day I fear.
So, that's my pet peeve for the day, but got a feeling that I'm not alone in the world with pet peeves.
