I would suggest mentioning it casually "oh the other day I was walking my dog and...." Most guys would wanna know more about you and you dog. Chances are once you're past the first impressions (ie he already knows you're not some psycho) you can share more experiences regarding life with your dogs.
I am 23 and never had a pet before. I got married in July and 2 weeks later Humphrey joined our little family, so I guess I can't provide any first hand experiences. DH is not crazy about our little one but he loves me and takes him out for walks and feeds him when Im at work, so I can't complain. It would be nice if he was as crazy about humphrey as I am, but I cannot force him to love my dog.
I just remembered one of DH's high school friends. The guy has two dogs and whenever someone in the room talks about what their (human) babies did at school or whatever, he starts talking about his dog by name like a human so its hard to know whether he's referring to a two legged little one or the four legged kind. I used to think it was the weirdest thing ever, now I totally get it... so Id say take it easy on the doggie talk and let your dates fall for your babies at their own pace. |
That is really good advice...because I am SOOO nutso for my furkids that I probably could spend an entire date discussing everything about them from their adorable little quirks to their wardrobes to how their stools were that morning
I could totally see that turning off ANYONE!! I got married at 20 so I am new to the whole dating thing and while I agree, it would be nice if your hubby was as into your pup as much as you are, the fact that he helps with care and respects how into the puppy YOU are, is awesome.
Plus, you are right. Any man worthy of ME would fall for my dogs!! They sell themselves...They are awesome!!
