Hi! I was wondering if there were any of you who has a spouse who just doesn't share your love for animals? And can't seem to understand your love (craziness, as it has been referred to) for the 4-legged creatures. Now, I usually don't draw the line at just the cat and dog. I have a rabbit, a goat, a cat, and now 2 dogs. I would have an entire household full if given half the chance. I do get a little tired of all the "stray" hair running loose in the house but as I have told him time and again.......it's a small sacrifice for the unbounding love they have to offer. My first husband either didn't mind or just didn't say anything because I was constantly bringing home something and never asked ahead of time. My second husband is not as passive so I feel like a child asking for a toy at Wal-Mart anytime I want an animal. He always protests and usually ends up loving (or at the least...tolerating) of every animal I bring home. My children are just as a fanatic as I am. His two children don't prefer animals either. I tell him the craziest thing will be that they will probably end up marrying a animal loving freak also, just as he did. Just wondering if any of you have had to deal with the same thing and if I just need to buckle down for the long haul or what.
Thanks for all the wonderful things I have gained from this forum.
