It takes a lot of self training, and it's horrendously hard, but ignore with a smile (I prefer a smirk, personally) may do the trick. He knows he can rock your boat, but hold your balance and stay calm. It'll make you THE better person! Never belittle yourself to that level! EVER!

When he says something about "Stupid dog" just say, "You;re just jealous ...." and leave it ambiguous as to what he's jealous of.

After all, he's not known the joy of pet ownership, the bond you share with them, and is just missing out on a good part of life.

He SHOULD be jealous! ;)

I totally agree with this statement. Let us know how everything goes.
