I don’t have a pet peeve, don’t even know what peeve’s are, can you teach them to do tricks ? Will they walk on a lead, and do they make the pavement stink like dogs do ?
Please will someone come up with a way to train dogs to use toilets. Ok responsible owners pick up the solids, but dogs have a habit of urinating in the same place to mark their territory, as someone that lives next to the entrance of a park, I can tell you after a dry spell around our gate post smells awful.
If dogs could be trained to use toilets, maybe city councils would build some for them, which would be good because they can’t be bothered to build and keep them open for humans. Which begs the question how is it Ok for a dog to urinate in the street but not a person ?
I’ve just realised I do have a pet peeve after all !

I don’t have anything against dogs, particularly, but there are now especially since covid flare too many.

My Pet.

     I’ve got a pet moss ball, he’s hardly any trouble, he just sits there in his jar every now and then a little bubble. He’s not the most intelligent of pets, but he’s not likely to get mange, or ever need the vets.

    I’ll never have to buy him a coat, or feed him little treats, but then again, he’ll never fetch a ball or perform  amazing fetes. Every two weeks I empty his jar and give him a little rinse, no nasty doggy smell that would ever make me wince.

   Oh little moss ball I love you so, do you feel the same? One day I may feel inspired and give you your very own name. I won’t name you Rover, ‘cause you don’t go that far, I won’t call Prince either, you’re cleverer than that by far.

Name you after a football player, they’re not always bright ? Or after a politician one of those creatures of the night. I’ll just call you Moss Ball, that’s good enough for me, you’re someone I can talk to while I sit and sup my tea.

Just goes to show, how much drivel I can write over not very much.
