I hope when the time comes he will be willing to compromise. My husband was never a big animal person either. He knew that I was raised with them and it was important to me so that made it important to him. We have been together for 16 years and married for 14. He is still my very best friend in the world and there is absolutely no one who I would prefer to hang out with. Our marriage is fantastic and I believe a large part of the reason is that we both genuinely care about the others' happiness. He knows having dogs makes me happy and that makes him happy. Of course he has grown to love them now too. I mentioned wanting a rabbit and he didn't look thrilled so... I wont get a rabbit. We look out for each other.
ETA- I would never let ask my hubby to suffer allergies for me. That's a different story but it sounds like you have solved that by being willing to leave Daisy behind. You are willing to compromise which is great. Good luck.
