Kibbles and Bits...Pepper and Wendell

There is not much new going on here. There are no big themes for this post. We do have a few odd bones and treats to toss about.

First, we have a new cousin. Nicky is his name. Our Aunt and Uncle who live in Carmel by the Sea adopted him last week. He is 10 years old and was previously being cared for by an elderly lady who could no longer give him the home that he needed. Cute little guy. Who could hate this face? Well, maybe Pepper could. But who listens to her? -W-

Secondly, we had company this weekend. One of my dad's old work buddies from many years ago and his wife came by. They were nice enough people, but they got in the way of our Sunday walk on the beach. The guy made weird noises at us to. I am not sure what that was about. It made my brother angry for sure. I bet they will be surprised when they unpack thier suitcases. I left a little momento in there for them to remember me by. He-He! -P-

Thirdly, Mr. W had to go to the vet for a check up. Now that he is over a certain age, they wanted to check out his rear end. That was not something he appreciated. You should have seen his eyes bugging out. -P-

Irresponsible Humans by Pepper and Mr. W

Observing dog owners, like we get to do a lot, reveals a lot about them as citizens of the planet. There are many great dog owners. They are good to the dogs and good to the people around them that may live in our world...yeah, thats right...It is a dogs world!

(Need proof? You feed us, pick up our poop, bathe us, water us, spend hundreds of dollars on outfits, toys and snacks. Don't doubt for one minute that we are YOUR masters...not the other way around. Pepper!)

However, we have seen a lot of bad dog owners out there. Here are our top five pet (pun intended!) peeves!

Pet Peeve 1) Bad dog owners don't pick up their dog's poop! Who wants to see Ruff's pile sitting on the grass in the park? No one. Is it too much to ask to walk over to the plastic bag dispenser that the city offers everyone for free? Please!

Pet Peeve 2) Bad owners, who may have at least bagged the poop, will leave it sit in the bag on the grass. Why? Do you think someone else will pick it up? Come one!!!! Lazy.

Pet Peeve 3) Bad owners will let feisty dogs run around unleashed and terrorize other dogs. Hey dumb ass owners of Brutus who were walking along the bay today...your dog going after every dog it saw today agressively will some day get you in legal trouble. I hope the dog comes out okay, because it is your fault that Brutus was not on a leash today. Oh yeah, you creatins, acting like you don't see your dog act this way is not going to make it go away. Another thing...your poor kids who lost the birth lottery when they ended up with you as parents are learning nothing good from you,.

Pet Peeve 4) Bad dog owners let dogs jump on strangers. Do I even need to tell you how stupid that is?

Pet Peeve 5) Bad dog owners let little Bingo run loose on the bike trail. Sooner or later, stupid little Bingo will run in front of a cyclist, get seriously injured and probably seriously injure the rider. Of course, even though it is clearly marked a cycling lane, this does not apply to your dog...because Bingo is special and doe'nt have to do what other people or dogs do. (You probably eat boogers when no one looks as well. Slack jaw!)
