So, what are you doing for your sweetheart on Sunday?

If you're like most guys, you'll probably be strolling down the last-minute Valentine's Day gift aisle at CVS, at least according to Jimmy Kimmel.  Yes, Sunday is Valentine's Day, and this year Americans are expected to spend $681 million on gifts.  But we won't be spending that amount on our significant others.  Instead, that cash will go to our significant animals— our pets, according to the National Retail Federation.  Sound ridiculous?  That's actually less than we spent last year on our kittens and poodles. That amount topped out at $703 million. Kimmel tells us why it's money well spent.
