Weekends are for the pets

Aka. W.A.F.T.P.; A gesture that you should take some time out of your busy week to spend time your pets. You have been at work all week and you have barely spent any time with your pets. As we all know to five to six hours at home, in the late afternoon and evening, when your awake, is not much time; and on weekdays you usually have a lot of other things to take care of long before you can spend some time with your family and pets. If you have time to hang out with a bunch of your male friends to watch sports and drink, which for the record you could do any day of the week, not just Saturdays, then you have time to stay home, spend time with your family, including your pets, and have a good time together. The physical and emotional needs of your pets and your family come first. Even if you are not dating or married, if you have pet, you should be ensuring that their needs are being met adequately, before you go and hang out with your friends; and you should be spending a descent amount of time with your pet so they know that you care about them.

In some random conversation,
Boyfriend: I am going over to Kenny's house to watch football tonight.

Girlfriend: But you have not spent any time with me and Pabu all week. You should stay home and spend some time with us. We could a movie together.
Boyfriend: Sorry, but Saturdays are for the boys.

Girlfriend: Seriously. That is your reason. Sorry, but as far as I'm concerned weekends are for the pets. Please stay with me. You should spend more time with Pabu. He's your dog too.
Boyfriend: Okay. I'll spend the evening with you two then.

the Black Dog of the Hanging Hills

A legendary ghost that is said to have lived in the Hanging Hills in Connecticut. (Please be aware the area is named after the terrain found in the area, as far as I'm aware of no hangings have happened there.) According to the legend, if you see it once, it is a sign of joy and good luck. If you see it a second time, it is a warning. If an individual sees the dog a third time, it considered to be a death omen. It is thought by some to be responsible for the deaths of six people, including two U.S. geological surveyors in the late 1,800s who didn't respect its previous warnings because they assumed the legend was a myth even though both supposedly had seen the black dog prior to meeting their demises. In a way it could be argued that the Black dog of the Hanging Hills is a symbol of power for the dead and individuals who are trying to stand to the U.S. government because of their inconsiderate actions against various populations.

The story about the Black Dog of the Hanging Hills was originally published the Connecticut Quarterly in 1898. It was originally thought to be piece of fiction, but that has been debated for a number of years now due to the author's background, the story's original title, the number of people died in the Hanging Hills, and various other things related to the story.
