The Boy

I have always heard that “mans best friend is dog”, and don’t get me wrong I love animals (so much in fact I have made a career out of it.) But the boy loved animals a little too much for me.
First date with the boy I thought he seemed too good to be true. He was also a vegetarian (which in my long history of dating and not eating meat this was a first), volunteered at the animal shelter, and just loved animals in general. What’s not to like, right?
Every veg you meat has their own reasons for choosing the meatless life style. I am ovo-lacto and my basic reason for not eating meat is the whole I idea of what I am eating makes me so sick. I cannot even take a bite (I am a classic over-thinker). His reasoning was he didn’t want to hurt the poor animals (remember I work with animals love too), he is also a ovo-lacto vegetarian but he really wanted to go vegan because the cows and chickens are miss treated and blah blah blah…. (I might have zoned out on the rest of that story).
Then came time to meet his dog (“his most favorite thing in the world”). He actually told me something cute along the lines of “I told my dog how awesome you are and he really wants to meet you.” I walk in the door and the dog jumps all over me (not a little 10 lb dog but a lb that is overweight and probably weights over 100lbs. I told you I work with animals ,right?) Then is constantly jumping on me through the night and also begging for food the whole time I am there, oh yeah and he is paying more attention to the dog than me!
One day I told him his dog was overweight. (no I wasn’t being mean, actually more on the lines of concern!) You would have thought that I told him that he was mean and ugly! I also said something to him about it not being a good idea to feed his dog table food all the time, he got mad about that too!
But the deal breaker with this guy is I took him to hang out with my friends and we went to their place afterwards. While we were there my friend brought out her dog, Heinz Ward (a very handsome toy poodle). And he gushed on this dog and let it lick all over his mouth and I felt like I wasn’t even there!
Moral of the story when a boy makes out with my friend’s dog instead of me it’s just not going to work!
