New photo trend!!  It's called baby mugging.  Where you take a picture and it looks like your baby is in a coffee mug.   Dan thinks it's crazy.  I think it's kind of funny.  Reminds me of the pictures of tiny dogs in a coffee mug.  What do you think?

Tammy:  LOL!  I have totally known guys like this!!  Who's more high maintenance in your relationship?

Female First.co.uk

According to a new survey, one in five women say that their husband or boyfriend is the high-maintenance one in their relationship.  Here are the five reasons why:      

1.  Men are more likely to throw a tantrum if they don't get what they want.
2.  Guys spend more time in the bathroom getting ready to go out than women do.    
3.  Men are more likely to refuse to leave the house without their hair looking perfect, and without the right clothes. 
4.  Men constantly need to be told, "I love you."
5.  Guys get upset when women don't answer when they call. 

According to a new survey by Hotwire.com, most of us haven't been to some of the country's most famous landmarks.  Here five that MOST Americans have never seen:   

1.  78% of us have never been to the Space Needle in Seattle. 
2.  73% of Americans have never visited Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
3.  70% have never seen the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. 
4.  69% of us have never seen the Hollywood Sign. 
5.  And 57% have never been to the White House. 
The only landmark on the list that more than HALF of Americans have visited was the Las Vegas Strip.  Only 45% of us haven't been there. 

Tammy:  The only two on this list that I haven't been too is the Space Needle and the White House.   Funny....they're not even on my bucket list of places I want to go!

Which of these landmarks have you missed?

Tammy:   So...yesterday was my dog Bella's 4th birthday.  Bella is the white dog...Izzy is the dog behind her.  Now, I have never thrown a party for my dogs...but I do get them birthday and Christmas gifts. (notice her nice bone and frisbee!)  Yes...they are spoiled.  :)   I think the only reason I haven't thrown a party is because I am not sure anyone would come LOL.  

Here are the results from a recent pet survey from CouponCabin.com

Nearly half of dog owners spend $50 a month on their animals, compared to fewer than 40% of cat owners.  

Nearly 1/4 of pet owners fess up to holding or attending a birthday celebration for an animal.  The number is also higher for dog owners than cat owners. 

Have you thrown a party for your Pet? 

Tammy:  OMG I laughed so hard when I watched this!  We do the same thing.  Isn't it crazy how times have changed?

According to a new survey, 77% of people say they look forward to taking road trips with their family or their significant other. BUT...they also admit that road trips almost ALWAYS lead to at least a little fighting.
Here are the top seven fights people have during road trips . . .
1. Driving skills. That includes everything from driving too slowly or tailgating, to changing lanes too much.
2. The temperature in the car.
3. Directions.
4. Where to eat.
5. Swearing at other drivers or flipping them off.
6. The volume in the car. That includes everything from whether or not to blast the radio to the kids shouting at each other.
7. Smoking.
