Valentine's Day!

[furtech]

Happy Valentine's Day, particularly to those of you lucky enough to have an SO to spend it with! Despite my singular status, I have no antipathy for the day. V's-day is still my second favorite holiday (after Halloween). Mind you, the day would be a LOT more enjoyable with an SO, but still...

My border collies are wonderful in most every way; the one area they fall short in is in the romance department. Romance for a border collie is apparently a big, meaty bone for each and a putrid fish carcass to roll in and set the mood. They -did- help me dig out gophers in the hillside earlier while I was planting some oak seedlings, but aside from dogwalk, that's about it for today!



What this means is I'd better quit perusing pointless online-dating sites (where everybody wants someone they can't have and pretends to be someone they aren't) and get active in some local groups. Maybe I can fulfill my resolution to do more training with R0ndo and Apache -and- meet more people! The trick is finding someone in the mundane world who watches equal parts of Cartoon Network and Animal Planet, thinks SDCC is neat AND enjoys speculating whether the tail of a giant, rubber monster in a Toho pic was tube-formed or carved...

How does a dog make a bad husband? My dogs are always giving me presents (granted in the form of skinned toys), always happy to see me, and I have to make dinner for them anyways. I guess it's in the eye of the individual *shrugs*.

Wonderful as they are, they do fall short in several areas, SO-wise. Granted, they don't have a lot of the problems one has with significant others, but as noted above, there as just some things even dogs can't do/don't understand. Plus, you can't take them into most restaurants...

Drat, the restaurant issue!
