In honor of my fourth anniversary this past week, I must say my wife is an acorn and I the blind hog. I was just reflecting today, that I got a super-duper wife and a great dog to boot.
Yeah, went for the "wife & dog" package deal, too.
OTOH, never, ever get serious with someone who insists you give up your pets*. I dated a gal like that, ONCE. Sent her *expletive deleted*ss down range after she told the story of making an ex- give up his dog. Shoulda dumped her harder than I did, just on general principle, but I am a softie at times.
* With certain exceptions. Venomous reptiles & infants are not good matches.
