Peeves - a SportsCow TM rant
Having sat and read through many a peeve/rant I now feel compelled to contribute my own

My dog. Maddie (bless her!) is getting on a bit and has dodgy knees. However, being a great big softie she refuses to sleep downstairs and instead drags herself upstairs when I go off to bed. Normal service for this is:

Maddie (ignores)
MAddie (ignores)
MADDie (ignores)
MADDIE! (stands up and snorts at me)

Maddie (gets halfway through living room door then stops, meaning I cannot shut said door)

Maddie (moves a bit further, door bangs on dog-arse)

Maddie (points to stairs - no response)

Maddie (walks to base of stairs, looks up, then walks past)

MADDIE! (dog-harrumph then starts tortuous journey upstairs. Stops at stop sideways, blocking stairs)

Maddie! (dog-harrumph II - moves slightly allowing access to bedroom)

This happens every night! WHY!?

You'd get funny looks if...
...she were to get lost in a park of something and you went round calling her name.

Did I say dog?
I meant small child "acquired" from Portugal
