I am crazy about my babies (one Yorkie-almost 2 yrs, one American Pitbull-almost 8 yrs). They are the only children that I have of my own and I spoil them as such.

I am in a relationship of almost 5yrs. and I am very happy...EXCEPT for one thing. The love of my life is not "dog crazy". I came into the relationship with only one of "my sons". And almost 2 years ago I finally got "my youngest son" Brooklyn.

Now don't get me wrong. Me & my babies are never mistreated or anything and I have explained how much my "boys" mean to me. But I still find myself trying to quiet down barking, keeping the "little guy" off the sofa and bed and pretty much keeping them out of "the way" so as not to annoy (things that really don't bother me)!

I could never imagine being with out my babies and this relationship is the nicest most peaceful union I have ever been in...

I guess I just wish my love were a dog fanatic like me. Is it possible for me to have the best of both worlds without one suffering?

Any adivce & verbal support from the members of YT would be appreciated.

Thanks for always being there.

This may not be the advice you want but if you have to walk on egg shells when you're around someone you love then you are better off cutting your losses and finding someone that fits you better. Sometimes things can be worked out but in most cases later down the road these same small differences become big irritations. This is coming from someone that has been married 22 years. I love my husband but had I had the experience 22 years ago I would not have gotten married - small things we tend to overlook when we're in love tend to become harder and harder years later when reality sets in
