Thanks for all of your replies...
My husband is working right now. He called me on his break and I asked if we could at least discuss this over the weekend and then I explained to him how greatly this issue upsets me. He's willing to talk about it this weekend but he said that doesn't mean we're getting another one right away. In the end, I think I'll get my way hopefully.
DH does want another Yorkie, but not right now and not within the next year either. He's scared that Scruffles will be jealous and he thinks that Scruffles needs to be older before we introduce another dog. DH is also scared that if they are too close in age, they'll die around the same time. I told him that he can't think this way.
My husband works nights. It's just me and Scruffles together at night. I don't and can't have kids so another furbaby is all I'm asking for. Hopefully we can compromise. And what's the big deal anyway. Financially, I'm responsible for Scruffles and would be so for the new furbaby too. I paid for Scruffles, I pay for all of his vet bills, food and toys too. It would be the same if I got another Yorkie so hubby just needs to get over his reasoning. |
