More Women Prefer Dogs Over Husbands

Animal Radio
An online poll released shows more women would rather have a pet than a husband. Can you relate to this story? An overwhelming 78% voted for a furry, rather than a hairy, companion. The poll had a sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

“Life is too short to commit to someone you’ll need to know over time,” says Nancy Keller, 29 years of age. “I’d rather have a pet and simply date,” she says, “It’s less stressful for everyone involved.”

In a related subject, Sealy, the maker of all of those wonderful mattresses, published an interesting report entitled the Sealy Snooze Report, about people’s sleeping habits. Among the findings was 67% of respondents said they preferred to sleep with their pets; 51% say their partners are just too disturbing in their sleep; 55% of women say that their partner was far more annoying than their pet. But 38% of the respondents stood firm and said there’s no room in their bed for their pets.

I say, leave sleeping dogs and husbands lie.
