  Same. 
My husband wanted a dog since day 1, and I said No. I said I wanted a cat, and he said No. 
We compromised. 
We got a small dog, the size of a cat, and I can still manhandle it, and he's got the qualities of a dog. LOL  
I was pretty scared at first since I have a fear of dogs (scar on my hand since I was young, almost took my entire hand off!) but the small ones- I can handle.  
Now I'm the obsessed one and I am begging for a second! but we really can't afford it, and we really don't have the space... so that's that.
