Well I think you really did the wrong thing by sneaking the last dog, it's bad in terms of trust and i'm sure seeing the dog everyday left resentment for your husband. When I was younger and lived with my parents I tried to sneak pets all the time, and my mom would get angry that I couldn't just be patient and get a pet on her terms.
I think you need to talk to your husband, listen to how he feels about it. Tell him how you feel about it, perhaps bring in a 3rd party (counsler) and get down to the root of why he doesn't want a dog. The worst thing you could do is sneak another one. It's bad for the household as well as for the dog (since it had to be rehomed)
Communication is key, getting a dog needs to be a family decision which includes the husband.
I do hope you get your dog though. |
