Dogs cure loneliness better than people:
http://www.clickondetroit.com/family/5839905/detail.html

Plus, dogs don't mess up the kitchen or bathroom right after you've cleaned it. They don't borrow money from you. They don't complain when you go out---but greet you happily when you come home. And, they warn you when someone comes to your door.

1. I live alone with 2 dogs and I am not lonely.
I prefer my dogs' company than I do people.

4. ... and they don't give away your secrets ...
My boys - Hank and Ray - are my best pals and closest confidants.
And they're the ONLY men that I'll let sleep in bed with me and SNORE.



Hank ...




Ray ...

5. Parrots are good pets also!
Any pet that one has an affinity with is good.

6. My sister's Lab insists on taking me for walks at least twice daily
She seems to be very concerned about my health, so she takes me on a walking tour of the entire neighborhood specifically so I can get my exercise.

She's a very good dog.

7. Been listening to too much country music again?
I've heard too many songs where the guy divorces his wife only to turn to his dog... :scared:
