@chibbed What is the obsession with dogs? They smell, they ruin furniture and bite people. They bark and annoy your neighbours. They make your house filthy. They jump up and bother runners. And they smell.
Anytime you announce something big, a relationship, engagement, pregnancy, new job, new car, a promotion, new home, or ETC.... GUARD YOUR SPIRIT! Somebody around you will change! People hate to see good things happening for others.
