I am a full-time stay-at-home messmaker. Although I am quite capable of making a mess of just about anything in the house, my favourite indoor activity is to tear apart the bathroom trash can and spread the contents all over the hall floor. Although I don't do this nearly as often as I did when I was a puppy, I still get a kick out of it, especially when I know that Mille® ™ is expecting guests!
My "pet peeve" is this funky-looking little black furry creature with long whiskers that was here before I arrived. Once, when I was a puppy, I snitched her food dish because it had some good-looking salmon in it - bad move! It (the feline), with one fell swoop of a well-timed claw, scratched the crap out of my nose and there was blood everywhere - it was crystal clear that I was the low dog on the totem pole.
