"Pet" Peeves

My chocolate lab hates riding in the backseat. He loves his hunting dox box in the bed of our ranch trucks, but he hates the backseat in my tahoe. If he is in my car with me he has to ride in the passenger seat. This makes many people mad.

My Brittany Spaniel hates it when Sage (the lab) is on my bed. She's a jealous one...even though there is plenty of room for both. They will fight. It's hilarious.

The next time someone gets mad about the dog getting the front seat, just tell them that the dog has been around longer than they have and can't be as easily replaced (of course, don't say that to your parents or anything).

I told my now-husband that when we first started dating and he told me he didn't like cats (and wanted me to get rid of mine). We now have 3 cats.

I <3 this thread.

Unlike most of you, I don't have a dog or a cat. I HAVE TWO CHINCHILLAS!

They are really fury squirmy animals and when I get them out for free time sometimes they get away from me. As soon at I'm out of sight, Bronco goes into the kithchen and squeezes himself under the dishwasher. I've grown so tired of taking it apart to get him out. Bronco also has a favorite spot in the bathroom (aka: Chin play room). Under my sink, apparently there is a gap that they can jump into which leads to the space under the cabinet. Basically, one second Bronco is there beside me on the floor and in a split second he's gone. As soon as I figured it out, I just covered the hole with wrapping paper.

I used to leave my rug in the bathroom during playtime until I figured out what they were doing. The little buggers used it as their toilet. They would go to the far corner of the rug, stick out their little butts and pee. Now I just take the rug out with everything else.

And, Thunder, oh Thunder. He is more adventurous of the two. He has a routine. He jumps onto the toilet seat. Then, he uses his front paws to unroll some toilet paper. AND THEN! He jumps onto my counter top and runs around until everything is on the floor.

I love them. They actually had to go to the vet today. It looks like they are allergic to the new dust I was using...poor boys.

I think it makes many people angry because its not the safest place for your pet if you got into a wreck. But then again, neither is the back seat, and thats where my dogs sit.

This is going to be your ultimate test for finding the woman of your dreams. Marry the one who thinks this is awesome rather than annoying. Trust me.

Ok...I just spent the last half hour watching my dog walk fastly in circles around the yard--looking up in the air like he is chasing something but there's nothing there. He gets in a trance...and sometimes will keep going until you break it.

He's been doing this for months...and I can't figure it out. Its funny mostly, but now I am starting to wonder if he is hearing voices or seeing things. Anyone see anything like this in your pets?

Incidentally, I LMAO reading some of these peeves...there are some crazy pets out there.
