Aka. L.P.D.R., A social norm where before getting into a long term serious relationship with another person, one of the people in the relationship insists that they have to see if their pets like their partner, which if their pets don't like their partner, they will not get into relationship with that person. It is good way to ensure your partner is trustworthy, and is a highly ethical behavior, for you are making sure your whole family, not just the people, but your pets too, like and trust your partner. The only issue with this rule is the fact that if your pet suffers from social aggression, territorial aggression, and or fear-related anxiety it can negatively impact their ability to accurately evaluate that person. If this is the case, the owner should work with their veterinarian, dog trainer, and cat behaviorist to try to treat their pet's condition before using this approach. This same norm also occurs when two people who have been in a romantic relationship are considering moving in together, so they decide to have their pets meet beforehand to see if their pets are compatible and can easily get along, which good way to prevent unnecessary conflicts before they happen. If they don't get along, the individuals may need to hold off until they can get a veterinary professional to diagnose the problem and attempt to treat it so it can be controlled or eliminated.
Adam: How are you and Victoria doing these days?
Earl: We're doing pretty good, but she insists that before we get more serious that she wants me to meet her dog and cat to see if they like me and go from there.
Adam: She is using the Let my Pets Decide Rule. You do realize if they don't like you that there is strong possibility she will end your relationship.
Earl: Yes, but I'm not worried. A friend of mine knows her and has met her dogs. He told me they tend to be very friendly.

Get the Dog Pet Spider mug.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.
