Annoying Animals!

What is it about animals that drive people nuts? My mother-in-law has two dogs and two cats. The cats get fur absolutely everywhere and never stop meowing for another can of food. They'll eat dry, but they'll complain the whole time. The dogs would happily eat it for them, so much so that a gate seperates the dogs from where the cat food and the litter box is stored. But for all that they annoy me, I'm willing to put up with the cats. It's the dogs that get of my nerves the most! Stasha, a purebred black lab puppy, will be a  year in April. She gets into the garbage, into your lap, and boy, does she know how to push buttons! TOnight, she was chasing the rest of the pets around the house. The tomcat, Lightening, tries to take off her face every night just to get her to leave him alone. You can't eat around Stasha either. She climbs in your lap, yes literally, and sticks her tongue on your food while it's on its way to your mouth. Lucy, the pug, is just as bad, but her small size makes it not as annoying. Eating at the table doesn't make a difference either. They whine and still do their best to climb on your lap. The dining table is a high one, but Stasha stands taller than it. And she isn't done growing! I think what I'm getting at is Stasha is much more annoying than Lucy and the cats, but I still ending up wishing I could afford a dog trainer to fix the pups bad habits!
