“Last night, I was sitting on the sofa watching TV, when I heard my wife in the kitchen ask: ‘What would you like for dinner, sweetheart: chicken, beef or lamb?’”

“I think I’d like chicken, dear,” I replied.

“You’re having soup, numbnuts. I was talking to the dog.”

Dear God, ain't it the truth?

Worse still, I've realized that my dog probably gets better, more responsive and personalized medical care than I do now.

The only thing standing in the way of immediate attention at the vet's is the balance on my credit card.

Isn't that the truth! Furthermore, I know what the charge will be before the treatment! And, I can go to multiple vets as needed!

Who's the numbnuts? She was talking to the dog, and expecting an answer. Now if she was talking to a cat, that would be different.

I'm writing a book titled, "Dogs Make the Best Husbands". Haven't gotten very far past the title, but rest assured it will be filled with stories and vignettes such as yours.

My husband is the primary cook in my household. The funny thing is, soup is my favorite, so when he puts it on the menu it's as a special favor to me, since he doesn't much care for it. Usually, if want soup, I have to get my own butt in the kitchen and produce it.

He also dislikes leftovers. I love them and would eat them all week, but he'll cook something new every day just out of boredom.

I do not criticize my husband's cooking. In fact, he's a fabulous cook and I'm grateful, but I wouldn't criticize it in any case unless I were prepared to take over his task.

As a long-time single father and sole cook, I always had two choices for a meal.

Take it or leave it.
