You Know You’ve Been Single Too Long When…

August 20, 2008 by 2lazydogs

You wake up in the morning with a 95 lb. dog sleeping next to you and your daughter is standing at the end of the bed laughing, saying, “He looks like he could be your husband!”

LOL. Well, they are fiercely loyal so there’s that. Happy Wednesday to you, 2LD!

Hi Teeni,

Thanks! Happy Wednesday to you, too.

Fiercely loyal, indeed. That pooch doesn’t leave my side and even insists on lying across my feet whilst I do dishes. Talk about loooove.

Him and me, we’re gonna need to have “a chat” in the near future…

“Good job, thanks for keeping her warm and snuggled, here’s a treat, now get out of my spot…”

Ha.
Honey, I think we’d be better off getting a bigger bed…because you know he’s just going to sneak in between us!

a dog is anyday better than a man:-

For the most part…unless they vomit in your bed or pee on your floor.

I have a feeling your dog will soon be sleeping on the floor. My kids have a 65 pound female pit bull that sleeps between them on the bed or sometimes under the covers by their feet. But it sleeps with them. The dog was there before my daughter and the dog won’t budge.

Yes, I have a feeling that Gus could be taught to sleep on his dog bed on the floor in my room…but I know he’ll sneak back into bed and steal the last available inch of space. My other dog (the smaller of the two) insists on going to sleep in my bed but ends up on the floor by morning so he’s really not an issue.

Such a happy dog… you wouldn’t evict ‘em would ya?

He is a happy boy. Look at that smile! Naw. I couldn’t evict him. I’m too much of a softy.

Okay, now that’s frightening. If he was wearing boxers and had a bit of stubble though…

Hey Annie,
Eek…now THAT would be frightening. My daughter (attempts) to dress our smaller dog in people clothing. I hope she doesn’t get the idea to try it with him. Ha. Sometimes his whiskers DO feel like stubble…and he certainly snores like a man!

We are a lot alike. Given the chance both will sit around scratching themselves all day.

Ha. Exactly. What the hell do I need a husband for?

What a smile he has!!

He does, doesn’t he? E saw that pic and said, “Aww, he’s so happy!”

What’ll happen? You will have double that child and more :evil grin:

Yes…that’s what I’m afraid of! How will I handle both of you??

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog actually smile before. Of course, I’m not around dogs too often. I’m not sure I could have a dog sleep in my bed with me. I would think they smell and leave hair everywhere. Your daughter is hilarious and I can only imagine life will get really entertaining for you when she becomes a full blown teenager.

He smiles ALL the time. I wish I could get him to smile on cue, though. That’d be awesome.

And a dog in bed – definitely hairy. I had to stop using lip balm before I went to bed because I’d wake in the middle of the night with dog hair stuck to my lips. Yum.

I don’t think he smells…but then again, my nose is probably tainted from having him next to me constantly. Although, my sister, who is sensitive to smells claims that my dogs don’t stink.

The daughter will definitely be a one-girl-show once she reaches the teen years.

I’ve seen much worse looking husbands-what a great looking dog though!

Hahah! So true.

Thanks. I think he’s pretty darn handsome!

I wouldn’t mind a nice 95-pounder to keep me warm at night…LOL

A 95 lb. dog…right? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure men come in a bigger size. Heh.

I used to have a rat terrier. She slept with me in my bed, my queen sized bed, and I usually got shoved out of bed. For only being two feet tall, she sure knew how to spread out. Guess she learned it from me.

Sheesh, Becca…a rat terrier shoving you out of a queen sized bed? I’ve only got a full sized bed…and the 95 lb. beast isn’t the only one sleeping in it. My 50 lb. Border Collie also sleeps with me…but he tends to roll around at the bottom of the bed and is so wriggly he usually ends up on the floor.

Oh man, that was cold! Aren’t those kids supposed to at least be 12 before they do that?

Um, yeah. Mine started at 8, though. Ugh.
