And the dogs decide that- what with all the excitement around the house being re-arranged- three people sitting around yipping and yapping at each

other isn't as interesting as a nice, long nap.

00:34:05 Greg's Valentine's Day Song "My Life With You"
You're the perfect gal A dream to behold
When they made you They broke the mold.
You'll keep your looks Even when we're old.
You're the perfect gal A dream to behold.

My life with you Is everything great,
You love what I love, hate what I hate.
The stars got crossed, Ridiculous fate
My life with you Is everything great.

You're a fantasy My ethical slut.
Games behind doors Are never a rut.
Positions and toys And everything but
You're a fantasy My ethical slut.

You're always around When I need to vent.
When trouble's in air You've got the scent.
I've got your ear Your wise two cents.
You're always around When I need to vent.

The walls light up When you're in the room
Aren't we a sight The bride and her groom
Or your glowing face A baby in womb
The walls light up When you're in the room.

Our life together The future's all set.
It's a good thing That we've never met.
You're the picture of Feminine ideal
Be nice to meet, If only for real.
But red gives to green The dream goes a blur
Too bad I'll never Knew who you were.

00:39:57 Song discussion
00:46:47 Gary's Song "Valentine's Day (Chemicals Divine)"

It's February fourteenth and today the skies are blue
So I picked a bunch of flowers That I'm going to give to you
Perhaps it's the dopamine or the norepinephrine
That's putting this smile on my face everytime I think of you
Oh the chemicals divine
They'll fade but til they do I'm feeling fine

And tho I'm wheezing, sneezing 'cause the allergies are kickin me (hyper sensitivity!)
I know there's soothing coming 'cause I popped an anti-histamine
As antagonists block I stop and I take stock
Perhaps I should have waited for a while before I operated this machine
Oh the chemicals divine
They'll fade and when they do I'll feeling hives

I pull up to your house I'm in a floating state
Between the flowers and the drugs and love Instead I should've bought some chocolate
Besides the health effects it is nearly as good as a passionate kiss
And the way I feel with my nose congealed all my cells are going to degranulate
Oh the chemicals divine
They'll fade but til they do I'm feeling high

00:51:16 Song Discussion

And the dogs SkYipe amongst themselves via their own canine internet, which is a series of Snausage tubes.
