AAAH HAAA so that's his secret, he has a sense of humour........and he doesn't mind a take away curry slopped into his feeding bowl. So to summarise provided your fur-less beagle doesn't complain about you not cooking, and uncomplainingly coping with bowell moving curries on a regular basis, and never complaining about hours of potential cooking, grooming, and caressing time, being wantonly wasted on the forum, your marriage is a sound bet. Did Mr Beagle become furless in the last nine years or so, because if that is the case, I think I see a pattern emerging. I presume you legalbeagle are full of healthy bristling fur, and have a full set of your own teeth, and that has absolutely nothing to do with having your own way, not cooking for, nor serving, the fur-less beloved etc. and spending waaaaay to much time forumising with I quote 'a perverted quadruped groomer' by one who I assume (according to his title) is very knowledgable about such matters. Come to think of it, many marriages would be a sound bet when the opposition succeeds in getting all their own way. I suspect mr fur-less may be pursued when the local populace of available singles read what a gem he is, one of the old school of bearing his burdens with good grace. I bet you don't dare take him anywhere near drinks on Friday at the Black Cherry, lest he is taken for a walk in the heat of the moment by a passing vamp-hound.
