But going back to the point... I did not compromise on the food neither, I feed Melanie Wellness, but I do keep her hair short (not shaved) and do not dress her up as he also does not like it, but I put some bows from time to time, which she does not like either and he will remove and used o trow them out, then I told him that I actually pay for the bows and they are $6 each so he does not trow them away anymore...
I wanted her on the bed with us, he doesn't wanna that, it's also his bed right? So I have a chair that is the same high as my bed, so I have it real close to my my side of the bed with her pillows and blankets so that the chair is like an extension of our bed, he calls it cheating but in a funny joyful way.
The vet is another thing, my pup got ringworm, earmites and pink eye (I'm a good mom! I have no idea how that happened) all almost at the same time I first took her to a vet out of yelp. Just spent hundreds and still had ringworm for quite some time, this bad vet put her on so many meds you wouldn't believe it. Then I took her to a referral, so much more expensive, but so much more professional, tidy and this time I checked the vets qualifications etc. He complained a bit (normal) about the vet bills, so I took him to both, the old vet and the new one, the old one he did not even wanted to go in, he got the picture from outside.
You will also learn a lot, I didn't know anything even wasted money on stupid things just because I thought the more expensive the best, which is not the case, and then the DHs are always good to help us not to do that.
You know your husband, and you need to pick your battles and make sure Pnut is there to make you both happy and better as a couple not to create arguments, believe me he would hate to know that the two people he loves the most in the world are fighting over his food or haircut, if he could chose he would rather not eat and have no hair... |
