He had (still has) a cattle dog and started showing her in agility and then started going with me to the breed and obedience shows and now his cattle dog also has an obedience title, he has now finished more papillon breed champions than me LOL, and he is "specialing" a papillon for a dear friend. Life is much more satisfying with a partner that loves the dogs like I do.
But do not give up on your husband, he may very well come around. Some things really *are* more important than dogs. Has he ever wanted a pet of his own? Maybe if he had his own dog or other pet he would understand the bond better. |
lol i am not going to divorce him, I just don't know how to get him to understand that my pups are my babies now... Since I can't have anymore and my youngest starts pre K tom they help fill the loneliness...
I want to get him his own animal, but he is not interested... we were going to get a yorkie/poo before I got my yorkie... he liked the idea cause we were going to call him "Porkie" haha I really don't want to get him a pet w/o him agreeing to it... KWIM??
