Dear Sugar,
I met a cute boy at a law school function on Saturday night and after a few cocktails and dances, we ended up at a bar, just the two of us, and kissing ensued. It was lovely and he offered to walk me back to my apartment. (I insisted it wasn't necessary seeing as how we live on opposite sides of Manhattan, but the boy could not be dissuaded!) Though he never made it beyond my apartment doorway, we exchanged the cutesy "let's do this again soon" texts after he left.

crystal tomlin26 who's in a sad predicament with her precious pets. She writes:
We live in a condo complex in California where they have not enforced the one pet rule in the 4.5 years that we have lived there, and now they are.

Introducing large quantities of rich "people food" into a pet's diet on Thanksgiving is bad for their tummies! In fact, some typical holiday fare should never be fed to pets. One sure way to be certain no one slips up is to place the appropriate portion of your furry friend's normal snacks in a convenient location.

Dear Sugar,
I met this guy in college and developed a major crush on him, but nothing ever happened. After graduating we kept in contact via email, then after a couple months, we met for coffee. We got to talking and he told me that he's been attracted to me for some time now, but informed me that he was in a relationship with someone else.

If you're taking a trip with your pets this
holiday season, there are a couple items you'll obviously need (like your furry friend) and others you may not have thought about. Curious about porta-potties, poopie bags, and pheromones? I bet you are, so I've gathered the things I wouldn't leave home without – and provided some reasons why you shouldn't either!

Dear Sugar,
When I broke up with my boyfriend, I was devastated. We were head over heels for each other but things just weren't working out so we ended it. At one point when I was trying to get over him, I threw away all the pictures I had of him and us, all the CDs he made me, and anything that reminded me of him.

In Philip Galanes's latest
Social Q's column, a 32-year-old woman wrote in saying that she'd decided that marriage wasn't for her. However, since she'd been in eight weddings and had to contribute oodles of presents over the past decade, she wanted to register for gifts for her housewarming party.
Galanes advises,
But the difference between their weddings and baby showers and your housewarming scheme is that their sole intent was not to rack up gifts.

Here's a tidbit of information that may comfort you. Only
30 percent of women are able to orgasm during intercourse alone. That means that most of us need a lot of attention paid to our lady parts.

Dear Sugar,
My last relationship was pretty hot and heavy, and when it ended over six months ago, it was because of his personal reasons — he said he needed more time to concentrate on his career — not because our feelings for each other had changed in any way. We remain friends but every time we have hung out, we have hooked up. All my friends tell me he is a jerk and that he's just using me, but when I'm with him it's like all the bad things he's ever done just disappear.

While bloat is a fairly common (
even deadly) ailment, it is not another way to say a pup is overweight! Much like pharyngeal gag reflexes (aka,
reverse sneezes), it has a serious scientific name: gastric torsion. This occurs when a deep-chested dog has a full tum (of food or water) and then engages in vigorous activity or exercise.
