Wow..... O_o That's actually a really interesting discovery, and makes total sense when you really look at it! ^_^

Except when they hop into bed while you're having sex

Someone opened the basement door to let my dog downstairs, and he barged in on my boyfriend and me. He hopped into bed like, " OH HEY GUYS! Whatcha doin'? Who wants to rub my belly!?" At least he didn't have his damn squeaky ball with him...

I didn't have time right now to read the article, but I do think pets can play a major role in a relationship! I guess it does depend on if both partners like the pet, but my partner and I are animal lovers. He wasn't as big on animals when we first got together, but I had cats and have always had exotic pets so he quickly adapted and fell in love! Now he's a pet lover too. We have a crazy, fat, hilarious hamster and 2 very funny (one very fat) cats and a weiner dog. We just got the hamster about 2 months ago when I was babysitting him and ended up falling in love. I have to admit, we do bond a lot with pets. I mean, it's helped us to bond. I think part of it has something to do with seeing your partner express care and love for a furry creature. I know it warms my heart to see him loving on Hubert (hamster) or any of our pets.
