Dogs make us into liars. Cases in point: these 11 arguments you are guaranteed to lose.
I’m not getting a dog.
1
Good luck keeping that vow after actually seeing a puppy in person.
The dog isn’t permitted on the furniture.
2
Except when he wants to come up, that is.
The dog isn’t permitted in bed.
3
Fine. I didn’t realize how warm he could be.
The dog will not eat human food.
4
What? It was a really hot day out!
Only one treat at a time.
5
Unless he can do some cool trick with it, that is.
It will be easy to discipline him.
6
Okay, but it WILL be easy to shame him.
I won’t throw him a birthday party.
7
But look how cute he looks in that hat!
No Halloween costume!
8
Hmmm… maybe no Halloween costume that isn’t related to Halloween.
The dog will not go on the holiday card.
9
Then again, he’s a lot cuter than I am.
No dogs in my wedding!
10
Okay, but no dogs in the wedding suite for sure.
We’re only getting one dog.
11
What, I’m gonna deprive this guy of his best pal?!?
