14 Reasons to get a Dog rather than a Wife

I was browsing Michael Aulia’s site as usual and came across a funny post and just had to share it with my readers. This is something that can really make you laugh and take the edge off.

I have altered the title a bit, but the core points are still the same. I am bracing myself for some female responses on this post as I’m sure some of them would have something to say :)

14 Reasons to get a Dog rather than a Wife

  1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.
  2. Dogs don’t notice if you call them by another dog’s name.
  3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.
  4. A dog’s parents never visit.
  5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.
  6. You never have to wait for a dog; they’re ready to go 24 hours a day.
  7. Dogs find you amusing when you’re drunk.
  8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.
  9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask: “If I died, would you get another dog??”
  10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.
  11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.
  12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don’t get mad. They just think it’s interesting.
  13. Dog’s like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.
  14. If a dog leaves, it won’t take half of your stuff.

Man and dog together

@Michael – I will be listing your post in my great reads next week. Be sure to check it out.

I hope you had a good laugh as I did. My favorite is number 14, personal reasons I guess. Let me know which one you enjoyed the most.

Hahah..thanks for the re-posting the joke. I have to admit I didn’t make that joke but I got it from my email inbox.

I guess I shouldn’t ask what the personal reason is ^^

@Michael – thanks for the joke, I will post about it in my weekly great reads.

The personal reason is personal for a particular reason, I would rather not talk about it as it saddens me. I hope you understand.

Hey I’m glad I came across this blog today. I definitely needed some cheering up and reading those reasons why you should get a dog rather than a wife ring pretty true. Women should check this out as they may just get some pointers on how not to annoy men so much. Thanks for the hilarity, keep up the good work.
