Thrown To The Dogs

It's okay to love your pets, just don't looooove your pets.
--Janeane Garofalo, The Truth About Cats And Dogs

Brent's latest Mother Jones magazine arrived in our mailbox last week. From it he quoted a somewhat disturbing statistic. Evidently women were posed the scenario of their dog suddenly becoming human. The question asked for a true/false response to the statement "If my dog were to suddenly become human he would be my boyfriend".

Well over a third of the women answered in the affirmative.

well now...hmmm...did those women really think things through before answering that question? would they still want a "boyfriend" dependent upon them for everything, as their dogs are? and could you actually get them to actually put the seat down? i wonder.

Anymore, I don't dare to dream about the toilet seat.

Oddly enough Naomi and I are reading a book where the dog is the narrator. She loves the insight of the first-person or first-canine narrator.
