Hallmark Channel movie in the making. They’ll just have to switch out all the fucks for dangs.

Ya'll are too young. BET Midnight Love ;)

My mom made it so we couldn't have that channel on the dish (the giant satellite dish in the backyard) because she didn't understand it was just late night R&B.

I particularly sympathize this time, because I have it even worse. My girlfriend was certain that I was coming over to spend time with her dog, too. (Kila is a senior dog, but she wakes up late if I come over, then wants to roughhouse because I'm not too creaky. She, the dog, also knows that I respond very well to "the lip," where due to having several teeth removed, she can curl her lip up in an exceedingly exasperated expression.) Worse, my cat Parker likes my girlfriend more than he likes me: oh, he'll purr when I pet on him, but he flops next to her on the couch and impersonates a chainsaw for a half-hour as soon as she sits down. Worse, both animals wake up in the middle of the night, note that their true loves aren't there, and wake us up with unconsolable yowling. I KNEW I should have gotten a crocodile monitor as a pet instead: like dogs and cats, big lizards will eat you without remorse, but they don't play partners against each other while orchestrating getting that tasty people meat.

Kila sounds absolutely adorable! Senior dogs are just so full of love, but that toothless lip curl sounds precious ♡. Sorry about the low loyalty of your cat haha.

But yes, next time go for cold-blooded animals, they conveniently won't love either of you.

You can’t go wrong with alligator snapping turtles, especially if you need a pet that will climb into bed with you every night.

Cora is the bestest wingman. Contrast that to the cat who promptly peed on my jacket the first time its owner invited me to her apartment. (Okay, she’s now my wife, but that cat was working at cross purposes.)

Cora really is a good wingwoman! 😆😆 I'm glad the cat marking her territory worked on the wife, who still became your wife after all.

Thanks Linda! There will be updates...and more pieces about him. I've got one coming up on him telling me he has to 'ladiefy' his apartment hehe

Dogs are the best matchmakers ever! What a cute story; it should be a movie! I’d watch it, I’m a sap for cute love-meet stories and if dogs are involved, all the better.

Judging from the photo, your Cora is, well, slutty. You’re lucky you won!

I’m married to a Sasquatch myself. Like you, I’m 5’6.5” (that half-inch counts!) and my husband is 6’6”. Shopping for cars, beds, boats, RVs, clothes, and even houses is a challenge for him and consequently for me. But I like being married to a giant. It’s sort of like being married to a Great Dane (although he’s Irish) We look odd in pictures though, since he is a full head and neck above me. So we usually sit down for photos.

They really are great matchmakers! I'll try selling the movie rights to Hallmark 😆

Cora, yeah--she's a big ole hoebag. But she learned from the best, so of course I won.

We're exactly the same height. And damn right the half counts. See Mike--it counts!! Plum says so too. But damn 6'6 that's wild. He's a whole foot taller than you. I'm howling at the Great Dane reference 😆😆😆.

I want you to know I scoured the comments to see if Mike left one 🤣 The bigger question is...is Mike a paying subscriber though? Because I am.

Your timing is impeccable with this post because I literally just published today about how nobody needs a human partner when they have a dog.

If this is all true (I questioned the whole thing at Mike Tyson) I'm super happy for you! I must look older and bitchier at the dog park because in 4 years I've had zero propositions. Maybe because Dezi would never roll over for a man.

Robin Wilding's avatar

He didn't no, but he's read the comments. I've always loved me a good lurker hehe. Shhh, don't convince him to pay, I told him not to, I have elaborate plans for his 'payment'.

Great timing we have haha. I still agree with you though. But it is nice to have someone who can big spoon you and open jars.

It is a true story 😆. Although Mike told me one part was inaccurate, he was hoping I'd whip out my phone and take his number when he said he didn't have his phone on him.

Sounds like you need a better wingman than Dezi.

If you're at spooning stages then I've got nothing but love for Mike. Can't really go wrong with a relationship that began at a dog park ❤️❤️

OMG, this is like reading a real-life romcom, right at the part where the MC does the Bold Thing. Here's to betting on an HEA.
