10 Reasons You Should Not Date A Dog Owner from thefrisky.com

1. Sex is (usually) loud, and looks violent even if it’s not. To a dog it’s intriguing and sometimes worth attacking. Having a dog fly onto the bed in the middle of it is at best annoying, at worst traumatizing.

2. Many dog owners sleep with their dogs. This may look cute in the pictures they text you, but it’s not so cute when a snoring and drooling dog is passed out on your thigh and you can’t move and your beginning to overheat and your allergies are just kicking in and … you get the point.

3. Be prepared to do all the trekking if you want sleepovers. Unless your new lover lives with caring and responsible roommates, chances are he or she won’t leave the dog alone overnight. So if you’re looking for more than a quickie, you’ll need to spend your nights either at theirs, or alone.

4. No impromptu weekend getaways. Reservations for the pup at an acceptable boarding place need to be made, and you’ll need to count for a bigger budget with the price of the kennel (which in New York City, for example, averages about $50/night).

5. Your stuff may get destroyed at some point. Confession: I’m the dog owner in this situation. One relationship ended just a few weeks in, when my dog chewed through her favorite dildo.

6. No more lazy mornings in bed. Sure, there’s plenty of movies where the lovers lounge around in a beautiful king size bed with an adorable puppy prancing over their knees. Reality: the dog needs to poop, pee, run, eat, and play, first thing in the morning. Instead of breakfast in bed, your more likely to be trudging through mud pits in the dog park.
7. The dog park isn’t really a romantic place for a date. A few days in the year it’s nice, but the rest of the time it’s either too hot or too cold, smells bad, and is littered with feces.

8. You probably won’t come first. In this new climate of treating our pets like children, if the dog was in your partner’s life before you, it will probably always be number one. Happy hour is out of the question because the dog owner needs to get back to the pooch after work. Fancy date plans when the dog gets sick? At least you’ll look good in the vet waiting room.

9. Then there’s the jealousy thing. This might kick in when your date proposes to go dutch at dinner, then stops by the pet store and buys all sorts of (probably overpriced) toys and treats for his/her furry friend.

10. Let’s say your relationship blossoms like weeds in the dog park. You will find yourself moving in with the dog, which brings me to the last point: unexpected dog ownership. This is a good thing only if you’ve been wanting a dog — this specific dog — anyway.

 

 

What Your Swimsuit Says About You (According To Guys) from glamour.com

Polka dots are the print to pick. The perfect mix. A little sexy, a little classic, confident yet comfortable. This is the girl I want to get to know.

Sassy stripes are bold and fun. So many colors and stripe weights—this swimsuit says I'm outgoing and not afraid to try new things…or Trix yogurt.

Accessorizing at the beach can send a flirty message. The one-piece suit says she considers herself a lady; the heels suggest that she wants to be noticed and flirted with.

Mixing and matching your swimsuit sends a confident vibe. The suit says, I know I look good, and I'm not afraid to draw some attention to myself.

Head-to-toe white is confident but approachable. You know this woman used to get up every morning at 6 a.m. to dance in front of the TV to The Grind. Which is perfect because that makes two of us. Yes ma'am, your boring friends may be snoozing in the sand, but we WILL join you for your solo dance party.

A classic striped bikini can still surprise guys (in a really great way). This is the kind of girl that you might expect to wear a modest one-piece, but then she shows up at the beach wearing this striped bikini and even the ladies take notice.

Attention-getting bathing suits will make you look like you’re, uh,looking for attention. She’s looking for attention and doesn’t mind wearing something that’s kind of ridiculous to get it.

 

Money To Burn: A Sydney, Australia woman recently baked $15,000 after her husband sold his car and stuffed the money in the oven. He thought the cash would be safe because his wife never uses the oven.. "It was everything I had. I've got nothing to my name. That money was supposed to go towards my mortgage.'' The family is in danger of losing their home

 

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart fought at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday. A source tells the NY Post, “Rob and Kristen were having a long and intense conversation backstage, and he looked miserable, heartbroken and humiliated. She was pleading. Rob is deeply in love with Kristen and is very jealous when other men hit on her. This will crush him.”

 

Kristen Stewart is writing an apology letter to Rupert Sanders' wife for cheating with him. A source tells Perez Hilton, "Kristen didn't feel it was appropriate to issue a public apology to Liberty once the story of her affair with Rupert broke. Instead, she's going to do the decent thing and write Liberty a private letter expressing her deepest regret for her actions. She was thinking of including Liberty, Rupert and the kids in her public apology – but Kristen was so desperate to save her relationship with Rob she decided to concentrate on that first. Kristen feels she made a terribly naïve mistake and will do anything to make amends. The fact that Liberty and Rupert have two kids has now dawned on her and she feels awful for what she did."

A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Rob is in shock that Kristen cheated on him, he is absolutely devastated but right now he doesn’t want to say anything in public until he figures out what he’s going to do. Rob has been in contact with Kristen and has already had the awkward first meeting with her in person since the news. Tears have certainly been shed over the whole situation from both. It's a complete mess right now with them.''

Robert has moved out of the home he shares with Kristen.

Rupert's father, Michael, says, ”From what I gather nothing really happened and it is all a lot of fuss about nothing. I should imagine it was something very brief. She is a very pretty girl and when you work that closely with someone for so long, sometimes things happen.” A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “His priorities are his children, his wife and making good at home. His focus, his wish, his hope is that he can make amends at home and he is completely focused on making amends. He knows he made a terrible error and he’s trying to fix it at home.”

 

Kristen Stewart got close to Rupert Sanders' kids. A source tells RADAR Online, “During the press junkets for Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen was already close to Rupert’s kids. She treated his eldest daughter Skyla to ice cream in Los Angeles when there was a break in her press interviews back in the latter end of May. At that time no one suspected anything was up – there was no reason to – but looking back at it now it seems pretty suspicious. The affair could have started back then – and everyone was blindsided. Why else would you take out a married man’s kid for ice cream?''

A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Kristen kept singing Rupert praises on [SWATH] set in between takes and was very protective of him. It was obvious that she has a lot of respect for him.”

 

Madonna's French fans booed her last night after she ended her Paris show after just 45 minutes. Many demanded refunds and cursed her.

 

Eric Dane, aka McSteamy, is leaving Grey's Anatomy. He says, "I am extremely grateful to everyone at Grey's, ABC and Shondaland for the experience and memories I have had over the course of this run. It has been wonderful to work alongside and learn from a creative force such as Shonda Rhimes."
