bedtime
opening shot: small cocker spaniel lies horizontally across the bed"Whuh...what? What is with the hands on hips glaring?"
"You're taking up the whole bed."
"I like to stretch out, you know how my back is."
"What I don't understand is how your body magically expands as to leave little to no room for me. It's QUEEN size!"
"Look, you unfurry freak, I distinctly remember you saying you'd take care of me in sickness and in health. It was only twelve years ago. My, my, how soon we forget."
"We're not bloody married, you idiot fur bag."
"Well, of course we are! Though Lord knows you don't deserve me...bringing strange men home and thinking I wouldn't notice. I'm a saint to put up with your affairs."
"Look, you're a dog. Canine. You're covered in fur, you move about on four legs. You're a DOG."
"But so are you sweetheart. You're just a little follically challenged. I have to admit it is a bit embarrassing around the hydrant, but love is blind, as they say. And frankly, though I love you more than life itself - you're not particularly bright. Now, c'mere a let's have a little cuddle."
"Aaarrrgh!"
