I want a dog's life

Who would trade their dog for a man? Come on girls fess up. Got an answer? I promise I won't tell. And be honest. Leona Helmsley left $12 million to her dog "Trouble". Nice going little furry guy. You're far, far better off than I am. No worrying about your dog house going into foreclosure or health care. I assume you have a team of veterinarians. I hope you have a good accountant however, as $12million dollars doesn't go as far as it used to. Take it easy on the chauffeur bills, and ixnay to canary yellow diamond collars. If you get lonely and need a new owner I'm available... and cheap.

I've had men and dogs in my life. Each dog outlasted a husband. Whoops and sorry Mom . It was never really a tough call and congratulations "Jonah and Miami". A big shout out to "Thurber" who survived 3 longish relationships. They were great dogs and ironically it wasn't hard for any of them to learn "stay". I love that dogs don't care about cooking. Isn't that really really sweet? Every day the same meal and not a peep out of them. My Yellow Lab Elliot thinks I'm Julia Childs they way he scarfs down his food. He also seems perfectly happy listening to me complain...about everything. He thinks I'm nice, unlike most people. I admit I'm envious of his hair color but resist the temptation to go that blond. I take him everywhere even though he doesn't fit in my purse.

Elliot don't worry, the good news is I would never trade. The bad news is I can't leave you $12million.

Early on in my marriage to the ex when we were supposedly still in love we got a puppy. After a few weeks of "accidents" he looked at me and said "either the dog does or I go". I had two words for him - See Ya.
