She Picks The Dog…EVERY Time

This is hysterically funny to me as I was JUST thinking about this the other night.  We were downstairs watching TV.  Debbie says, "I'm getting sleepy, I'm gonna go upstairs."

She then leans down and showers the dog with kisses.  Turns to me and....says, "Goodnight."

Now I read this today.  More than half of all dog owners prefer kissing their pets over their husband or wife, a new survey indicates.

According to a Riley's Organics study, 52 percent of dog owners would rather smooch with man's best friend. It also reveals 52 percent prefer sleeping in bed next to their dog over their partner.

Well, at least the dog prefers me over her for sleep, I guess. <g>

While the results of the survey might surprise some people, it should be noted that 94 percent of those surveyed also said their dog is one of their very best friends.

What does that make me?

I can't be the only one here...HELLO?!  ANYONE?!
