The May 2010 Men's Health magazine (gratuitous cover shot above) has a shwack of trivia about men and their pets. Some highlights with my much-needed commentary...
1- 78% of men currently own a pet... good stuff
2- most likely pet is a dog, though 1 in 19 own a reptile... ick
3- average dog costs its owner $717 per year... clearly no Pampered Puppy daycare there
4- 19% of men dress up their pet for Halloween or Christmas... Alfie has been Superdog and a really cute pumpkin
5- 72% of men would risk their life to save their pet... yep, sure would
6- 20% of men have used their pet to pick up women... hand over heart, I have never ever done that
7- IQ equivalent of the average mutt is a 2-year-old child... yep, on a good day... he sure is cute though
8- 46% of guys who've been interrupted during sex by a nosy pet... no comment, and yep, make that nosy PETS
9- the average dog can understand 165 words... okaaaay...
10- 7% of pet owners have made provisions for their pets in their wills... tried to, the douchebag lawyer said no...
According to Men's Health, dogs have been keeping man company for 31,700 years... and yep Alfie is the cutest!

Nay-nay on the dress-up, but I would pull them out of a burning building. And there's NOTHING wrong with a guy being a cat person! My dog hasn't always seen the difference between mom-and-dad-time and pack-time. H just wants to be included.
What provision did you want to make? 8)
Interesting! #9 kinda surprises me. That seems like a lot of words.
Sorry distracted by abs. You said something about keeping hot men as pets????? Mmmmmmmm abs.
I see...you bought MEN'S HEALTH for the articles.
That's right. Uh-huh. I am sure it is a favorite of Alfred's also.
My little Frenchie was a cute ladybug for her first halloween last year, but I really missed the boat. With her bat ears and her black coloring, she'll be a bat next year for sure. Oh, and she knows 243 words. I'm sure of it.
So yes, I do subscribe to Men's Health for the articles...
And Alfie knows maybe twenty or thirty words. The cute thing really is calling card.
When K and I were doing our wills a couple of months ago, we asked about making provision for the dogs, and were told that they are property so would go with the rest of our property, like the art and the TV and the seven crock pots. I was not impressed.
LOL on subscribing for the articles- but on that cover story HER SECRET SEX THOUGHTS? I can report that they are 'hurry up so I can go to sleep.' I mean, if anyone was wondering.
I'll go away now.
;)
xo
I hate to state the obvious but Ryan Phillippe is so hot on that cover. Also I think men who love their dogs as much as all that are totally hot too. ;)
Ok.. might have to get this Mens Health for Ryan Phillipe .. yummo!
Gary has been a pirate... hated it...I managed a few quick pics before he literally shredded it!
Glad you buy for the 'articles' Brahm ;-)
#6 - LMAO!
