Is there anything more stressful than trusting your furbabies to another human? Children can call or text if there is a problem, but our dogs are entirely at the mercy of their caretakers! While leaving a list of Do’s & Don’ts can help ensure peace of mind, Tommy Rivers’ aunt may have taken it a bit too far! Clearly uneasy about leaving her precious pup Pepper in Tommy’s hands, she created a very detailed list of expectations – and restrictions – for her young nephew.
Luckily Tommy has a great sense of humor and a Twitter account! He shared the list with his followers this past weekend and it has since gone viral.

Here’s a closer look…
As you can see, Auntie’s list of Do’s are a bit finicky, but don’t all pawrents want the best for their pets? She asks that Tommy preserve Pepper’s girlish figure by avoiding carbs and only giving bones every other day. Reasonable.
She also lists what specific types of affection Tommy should provide to Pepper – big hugs, little kisses, sniffs and belly rubs. Certainly quirky, but very cute!
Then we get to Auntie’s list of Don’ts. Pepper is never to be yelled at, physically harmed in any way, or let out of Tommy’s sight for a moment! And why, you may wonder, would a nice young man like Tommy ever do anything to upset little Pepper’s world? Well, the last item on the list may give us some insight: Jealousy!
“And most important……..,” Auntie writes. “Don’t you Hate her cause you Ain’t her!”
Needless to say, the Twitterverse is 100% in Auntie’s corner!
That’s a hell of a list but I’m pretty sure Pepper’s worth it.

It seems that Pepper found the comments from her 800+ new fans pleasing!
Update: you made her really happy and now she’s going to bed lol pic.twitter.com/KkwYRDibBw

But surely she will be even happier when her mom gets home to spoil her personally!
