Most of my friends have pet peeves, and now that my kids are gone I could use a little irritant in my life. But there are sooo many peeves to choose from, and I don’t want to adopt one that I have to give up in a couple of weeks.

So, peeve owners, what peeves make the best pets? Longevity is a big concern for me, as is upkeep; something that requires constant nursing along to keep it healthy is out of the question. I need a peeve that pretty much takes care of itself.

Also, what does your peeve eat, and how often? Can you take it to work with you? On vacations? How long have you had it?

Thanks for any advice!
