Pet sources of irritation can be summed up as 'PEEVES'. PEEVES are minor annoyances that can cause a person to become irritated or annoyed. They can range from small, everyday occurrences such as someone talking too loudly on their phone in public, to more serious issues such as a pet destroying furniture. PEEVES can also be caused by people, animals, or even objects. No matter the source, they can all lead to feelings of frustration and annoyance.
