JACKIE’S CORNER ….. Jackie’s Pet Peeves!

To my furry friends, I am sure you have a few things that irk your leash, cause I sure do!

Pet Peeve #1
Why can’t I have a snack after my teeth are brushed?  What is with that, shouldn’t I be rewarded for being a good girl and by letting my human shove a brush in my mouth. Ok, so I do love the coconut and turmeric combo, but don’t tell my human!

Pet Peeve #2
How many of you sleep with your humans?  I do most of the time, but sometimes, I just want some solitude and take off to my crate, my zillions of blankets and of course a hot water bottle! I am spoiled! But, when I do sleep on the bed, which I thought was mine too, I like to stretch out, tell me why 6” is not enough space for one human. No, I guess not because I am moved over to make room for my humans and woken from my sweet dreams!

Pet Peeve #3
So, one of my humans works from home, and when I want attention, I should get it, don’t you think?  Sometimes she makes room for me on the desk so I can snooze or watch her do whatever she does,  (she’s asks If I am happy now, of course I am).  Then the printer goes off, well what’s with that noise, I am out of there, that monster is not going to get me, thanks Printer for ruining my naps!

Pet Peeve #4
I am going to get serious now, this is more than a pet peeve!  As you all know, I am a water baby, I love to swim, I have temper tantrums (not as bad as when I was younger) if I see water and can’t get to it. One of my favorite swim holes is Rolley Lake, my humans take me out first thing in the morning a few times a week, I am so happy. But, last week, what’s with the fisherman at this dog beach that’s about 10 feet wide! Do they not have anywhere else to fish at around the lake? Then, the Ranger comes by and says no more Off Leash.  How on earth am I supposed to swim on a LEASH! I guess a dog got away from their human and ran onto the public beach and created a ruckus. So now they say it’s a liability. There goes Rolley. I say to humans if you can’t control your furball, then don’t ruin the fun for those that just want to swim, keep them on leash.  Good thing I have a back-up swim hole!

Pet Peeve #5
Continuing on, with my rant!  If, your beloved furball poops, please pick it up! And, please don’t just put it a doggy bag and leave it there.  Because of a few bad humans, it ruins the fun for the rest of us.  I can no longer go to my favourite ball field and play ball!  A dog needs to run and play, so please humans, be responsible pet parents.

Pet Peeve #6
Last one, I promise.  I used to go to dog parks, but they are dangerous!  I don’t think there should be balls, toys or food at dog parks, they just create trouble. I know, because I am trouble, I love food and if you have a Chuck-it ball, well your dog may think it’s his, but I will take it and make it mine. So I don’t go to dog parks because it’s just safer that way. So humans, keep it simple, and just let us dogs be dogs at the dog park.

Ok, that’s it.  My work is done for today. I need a nap!  See you next time!

    Thank you Jackie for sharing the thoughts so many of us dogs have. If only all the humans who take care of us and proclaim their love for us would listen to you. 😍 Kai & Jerry
