Happy Valentine’s Day.

Unleash your emotions this valentine’s day.

And people wonder why they are called “man’s best friend!” And thanks for the mention.

This post makes me want to go to the pound to rescue a dog… except my two cats would claw my eyes out.

Lol! I like the entertainment one:

“Dog: Why don’t you just throw the tennis ball a couple of thousand times at the park? I promise to always bring it back! That is, unless you’ll chase me for it.”

This sounds *just* like my brother-in-law’s dog. That dog would catch tennis balls until he dropped dead if you let him!

Excellent post.

They’re happy just spending time with you, doing something as simple as taking a nice long walk, or rough-housing in the yard, or digging a hole.>>>> I had heard somewhere that time is the best gift that you can give to your loved ones….but in today’s fast life how many of us can really spend some quality time with our near and dear ones.

Dog: How ’bout you let me sit in your lap and you scratch my belly for a couple of hours?>>>> my tipsy used to love it…..i miss her a lot ….dogs are indeed wonderful companions, they hardly want anything from us but give us so much of love in return.Isn’t it the true meaning of love.

I must say its a simply “wow” post….a very nice way of explaining the concept of Vday.

Ron: About a year ago, my fiancee and I rescued our golden retriever, Sandy. She was two years old, and she’d spent most of that time alone, outside in a small run, even in the Minnesota winters. It seems like she’d have plenty of reasons to be grumpy, but she never was. She was warm and friendly and sweet from the moment that we met her.

By the end of my life, if I can say that I was half, maybe even just one-quarter, as nice as a dog, I’ll feel like I did okay.

[...] Journal had a great post about a frugal Valentine which really could describe any day of the week. Dog lovers are required to check it [...]

But yet, your sweetheart is not your dog.

As for me, I added to all the questions, I will (did) not take “you pick” as an answer. Consequently, I was asked to prepare a nice meal with wine and dessert and then was my loved one was happy.

Let us not confuse frugal with lazy.

PS: I will admit I don’t have a dog AND I did love your post.
