  Oh...and in case you want further proof the dog doesn't come before me, daisy-mae, all I have to do is tell Heidi I want "Chris and Heidi" time....
 ...and she puts away the dog immediately and comes upstairs with me.  No asking twice.  Seriously, putting a dog before your significant other is silly.
 
 (Edit: And I do that sometimes just so I don't have to have the dog around me.  Works like a charm.)
