You Asked: Can I Use My Dog to Get to My Ex?
Dear Sugar,

He's had a wonderful, happy life for the past 15 months, but with the Summer heat, he's been having more and more trouble moving around, and for the past few days he cannot get up at all. His heart can't keep up anymore, so it's obvious it's time to let him go — he's suffering now.

Turn On or Turn Off: A Man With a Dog
I’m a total animal lover, but nothing does me in quite like an adorable, floppy puppy. So when I see a man with a dog, I can’t help but find myself staring. It may be totally clichéd, but there is something completely sweet and very sexy about a man with a pup.
