Q: If you are breaking up a relationship after living together and adopting a beloved pet together at the exact same time and are both equally attached to the pet, as well as equally splitting the expenses, who gets to keep the animal? Say it was something big like a dog or a cat and not just a goldfish or hamster.

A: Wow. This one is hard. Well, my chivalrous side thinks he should let you keep the pet, but then the other half that love...

Q: My 42-year-old bf is digging up the graves of his mother's deceased pets in her yard and is transporting them to her new home for re-burial. Both have been gone for 6 years. I am mortified. Is this a reasonable practice?

A: Reasonable? Uh, no. Creepy and weird. But, ya know, if that's what my old mother needed to be happy, I might do it, too....

Q: Do some men get dogs to pick up women? Ive noticed some men who use their dogs as bait (at dog parks, walks, or using the line: hey you want to see my dog?) to get women initially interested, sleep with them, and they move on to the next lady. Are dog parks the new booty call? It happened to my friend!

A: Yes, yes of course. Dog is man's best friend because they are mega pussy-magnets. Ever since the first cave man realized...

Q: My roommate and I each have a cat, so our apartment ratio of cats to women is even at 2 for 2. We're thinking about getting another kitten, which would put us at 3 cats to 2 women... would that officially make us the cat ladies???

A: Being a Cat Lady is not strictly about quantity, or ratio of Homo Sapien to Felis Catus. It's about obsession or as I li...

Cats, My Number One Dealbreaker

I have a very short list of preexisting relationship conditions that would keep me from dating someone. So long as you're not on the run from the law (international courts count, btw,) addicted to meth, or a terrorist, chances are...

Q: Do you have any pets? What breeds? I like animals and am just curious

A: Meh, why not. I normally discourage curiosity, but hey - it's pets. I have a tank full of tropical fish, some of which a...

Q: Chic Geek, I've been wondering this for a while now: why are women with cats always painted as lonely and desperate? I seriously don't get this, can you please enlighten me?

A: The whole "lonely single woman with cats" thing has become sort of a cliche. It's also pretty sexist. Guys with cats don...

Q: My boyfriend has this huge dog and he lets him sleep on the bed with us. He gets between us and snuffles my face. I pretend I like it, but I don't. Should I say something or do I have to sleep with a dog the rest of my life?

A: A while back, someone had a similar question about asking her boyfriend to get rid of his dog entirely. If she's cold-he...

Q: My boyfriend has a dog but I am seriously allergic. He's going to have to choose one of us if we are going to take this to the next level.... how do I convince him to choose me?

A: Pets are tricky. Especially baboons. A baboon once convinced me to trade power of attorney for two coconuts and half of ...

My Dogs Eat Better Than I Do

The epiphany hit me this morning. I had just finished measuring precise amounts of brewer's yeast and cider vinegar to ladle over the warm mound of yogurt, brown rice and steel cut oats in the bowl on the kitchen counter....
