They really aren't sure what to make of it.

One might think that getting a dog means you're getting a protector for the house. A furry friend who will guard the door, saving you from the mailperson. That's usually the case, at least in our experience. But sometimes you get a dog that's more scared than you are.

O.M.G. This is internet gold! They seriously were too scared to go downstairs because of the dog's picture on the food bag. Soooo spooky! And the funniest part, in our eyes, is the fact that the dog on the food bag was smiling! How could they be scared of that?! LOL!

Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke are ready to not have their relationship drama take center stage. Gibson Johns interviews the couple about the upcoming second season of "Winter House," which is the first season of reality TV they've filmed as a married couple, and how being in this new stage of their relationship impacted the filming process for them. They also chat about the fan-driven competition about who the so-called "No. 1 couple on Bravo" is, how this cast gelled compared to last season's cast, whether Kyle and Craig Conover have any true tension and how they're thinking about their relationship to reality TV as their lives evolve.
