Re: Pet Peeves of the AC
I completely agree with the backyard breeding part. But I can't agree on "the occasional pregnancy." Now a days, there are plenty of free spay and neuter places. There is no excuse for, oh, a stray dog got into my back yard, or my two dogs ended up mating. If you are going to have more than one dog, spay/neuter them. If you have a fence that is not secure or animals who regularly stay outside, spay or neuter your animals. It's responsible pet ownership. I worked at an animal shelter for two years, and it was not a no kill shelter. Normally I keep my mouth shut on the issue because I don't believe in shoving my beliefs down another's throat, but while it's on topic, I'll share.
What grinds my gears more, is people who careless breed pets for a quick dollar. I understand an occasional pregnancy, when people push it all the time with no regard for that animal that pisses me off. Oh also waiting for packages! I get my sent to a PO box so i have to check all the time - mum doesn't like having the option to get a message by text when mail arrives even though its free.
Oh and when you lose something (currently trying to find a calculator).
edit: Found it, right on top of notes i just wrote. Had a "man look".
