petty annoyances
We will strive to get past the fact that I am a nearly 27-year-old woman who has a pink and white stuffed Hello Kitty doll dressed in pajamas on her bed. We will focus merely on the fact that my evilcute dog tore the little head bow** off said Hello Kitty while I was standing there saying, "Arwen Isobel, GET DOWN! DOWN FROM THE BED! DOWN!" in my best command voice.
No, we will reserve our ire for the fact that the anti-stink seal seems to be broken on the toilet in the house which is used most frequently, and now the rooms used most frequently are filled with a mild foul stench... like a litter box that needs to be changed. Then, we will focus on the fact that instead of using, say, the IONIC BREEZE AIR-SMELLER-BETTER MACHINE, our mother has chosen to light three different high-scent candles in three different scents all within about fifteen feet of the stench, in triangulation. End result - I have decamped to the other end of my house.***
**(coincidentally just the right proportions for a young Sheltie's mouth)
***(Not that my house has many "ends." Any one room usually has doors to a minimum of two others; most have at least three, with the design being a circle of rooms around two large ones. One is the one I'm in now, and the other is the adjacent kitchen.

yeah, you could say that.
actually, she's hitting adolescence, when dogs don't really feel like listening. there is a bad few months when, aside from not pooping or peeing indoors, they aren't interested in pleasing anyone but themselves.
at least, i HOPE it's just a phase. i did have her listening to me earlier today with no problems.
