    14 Reasons Your Pet Is Actually The Best Valentine's Date

    Whether you're single or in a relationship, your pet really should have your heart this valentine’s day. So ditch the fancy restaurant with your boyfriend/girlfriend, the drunk singles night out with your friends or the awkward tinder date and get cosy with your dog, cat, hamster, rabbit, parrot, snake, lizard, pony or even your fish... AKA the one you truly love.

    1. You can eat and drink as much as you want!

    2. You can lock them in a room with you and force them to spend time with you!

    3. Similarly, you can force cuddles and kisses upon them

    4. You don't need to get all dressed up or even brush your hair for a date night with your furry pal!

    5. You get to choose what film to watch.

    6. When they get needy for attention it's cute

    7. There are no strings attached!

    8. No expectations for a valentines present, therefore no disappointments.

    9. You won’t get a half hearted last minute card from the garage on their way home from work.

    10. If you cry about your miserable love life (even you relationshipees) your pet won’t make fun of you.

    11. No clock watching or excuses to go home early!

    12. You can talk in your cringey pet voice all night!

    13. They don’t talk!!! No one gibbering on and asking 2462874 questions through the movie!

    14. The love is mutual!
