Dog v. Wife

Babysitting this evening as the boss is away to nightshift so unable to get out for a nightshot etc. Dougal obliged me for once, by looking directly at my camera.
Having taken this shot and a few others of the back and side of his head, I remembered my Dad had sent me a fun dog-related email a few days ago. I'll share it with you while the boss is on nightshift. Sssshhh!

20 reasons why a dog is better than a wife.

1. The later you are the more excited they are to see you.
2. If you admire another dog, they don't care.
3. They don't mind if you occasionally get their name wrong.
4. A dog's family never visits.
5. You can pet them whenever you wish, even in public.
6. They find you amusing when you've had too much to drink.
7. If you come home smelling of another dog, they love it.
8. A dog will never wake you up at night to ask "If I died would you get another dog"?
