Oh, and I chose to take Couver and leave the hubby home tonight...  I guess I will have to start making priorities. I just hate leaving him at home because I see how much he enjoys coming with!  |
Just be careful.... you don't want your hubby to start feeling bitter or like he needs to compete with Couver. I got married 1.5 years ago and there have definitely been some adjustments. That first year had more than it's fair share of arguments and frustrations. Make sure you communicate about why he doesn't want the dog to go along and be willing to make some compromises. Maybe if he'd rather the dog not go to stores, you can make plans to take a long walk together in the evenings, or spend an afternoon in a park or another dog-friendly area. Was your husband raised around animals? Do you have any other friends with dogs? Maybe a nice playdate is in order. Couver will probably have more fun running around with another dog than he does hanging out in your purse. (Please don't take offense -- I carry my dog, too!) Being married takes some adjustment on it's own, and you each need to have mutual respect for each other. Hopefully you will be able to sit down with him and talk about how each of you are feeling. Good luck!
