Dogs are not disposable.
If he thinks "inside" pets are nasty, well I think he's nasty-no dog is ever mean to be in a back yard & left to live there!
It's called cleaning, and animal compassion, proper treatment. |
I love that 'real men love Yorkshire Terriers' sign! My hubby needs that for a bumper sticker on his truck! I'm sure he'd let me put it on....not! LOL. He wouldn't admit it to everyone in the world, but he totally feels that way!
I agree with what the other posters are saying too...you both need to agree before going forward. You don't want him to resent you for anything. But I really think that the whole relationship between the 2 of you is something that YOU know better than any of us. All marriages/relationships are different. For example, my husband is a big pushover. He pretty much just lets me have my way and I pretty much just let him have his way. This type of arrangement works great for us, but it may not for everyone. We always check with each other before making any kind of decision, but we both are very open and try to give the other what they desire whether it be a pet, a new car, or just somthing as simple as dinner. It's just how our relationship has always been. We are very happy this way. We never argue and have been happily married for almost 10 years, together 15. But I do realize that all relationships are different. I know that many couples are set up differently. So definitely look at how your relationship is. If you know in your heart he is totally against it, I agree with the others...do not get another Yorkie. Not only will it foster resentment, but it will also not be a good relationship for the Yorkie...and that should be #1. I agree that dogs are not disposable and the WHOLE family should be ready and want to bring this precious life into your home. I hope the visit to 'look' goes well for you guys. Those little faces can be quite adorable and may just take him over. I hope so and I hope you can bring a Yorkie into your home for a long, happy life!
