I think they'd have to love my dogs. My husband was a BIG dog person, my family always had little dogs. We argued back and forth for years on what kinds of dogs to get. The first were the GS mix as she was abused and we rescued her. The second was the lab we adopted from a deploying soldier. Then came Sarge, my pom baby, the DH couldn't stand the thought of a small dog at first but now they are bosom buddies. (go figure!) Then came Teddie...DH bought him for me for our 18th anniversary because he knew I always wanted one. He sleeps with us, so that should say something about the DH learning to love my small furbabies. Not to mention he says we should have a herd of them upon retirement.
