Facts of Married Life, #1735 (alternatively, Life With a Chihuahua #fill-in-the-blank-this-is-clearly-not-legit): your dog, who has shared a bed with you since puppyhood, will quit this habit as soon as you move in with your significant other. instead he’ll pick a spot, the armchair, facing the bed so he can give you the stink-eye when he so desires. note: he’ll grace you with his cuddly and smelly presence if significant other gets out of bed first and he can have you (in a freakin’ queen sized bed!) all to himself again.
