Valentine’s Day. Some of us love it, some of us hate it, and some of us don’t really care. After all, if you love someone, you don’t need a special day guilting you into a lavish, materialistic celebration. Dogs don’t give a hoot about holidays at all, and are happy to have you every day of the year. So here are 10 reasons why you’ll find no better date than your furbaby:
• You don’t have to get dressed up. No makeup, no uncomfortable bra, no spending extra money on a new outfit. Hell, you don’t even have to shower.
• You won’t be disappointed in how your date looks. Even seeing them in swamp muck makes you smile.
• You can stay home. In addition to not having to get dressed up, you don’t have to worry about reservations, parking, waiting for a table, or being out in the frigid weather.
• You don’t have to buy flowers, chocolate, or jewelry, and you don’t need to cook a fancy dinner. Your dog will be thrilled with leftover pot roast.
• You can have all the wine and chocolate, and you don’t have to feel guilty about not sharing.
• You can pick the music. And the movie. Even if it’s the same thing you watched last year.
• No worries about proposing or having your hopes dashed at not being proposed to – you have the perfect soulmate.
• There is no chance of an argument or poorly-chosen comment ruining the evening. However, there’s still a chance of a poorly-timed fart.
• Don’t have a date? Visit your local shelter. Even if you can’t adopt, maybe you can foster a few friends for a night.
• You’ve got the best cuddle buddy you could hope for, and they will still think you’re the greatest the next morning.
