Wow that's hard, I guess you have to know your husband. My husband didn't want me to get another dog because he was so crushed when our last two cats died. I waited a while because I didn't think he was ready to get attached again. I explained how it was really important to me, but I felt like I needed his support because sometimes I would need his help. He agreed we could go look, but he didn't really want to get involved. Well, that lasted about two seconds and he feel in love with Joey immediately.
On the other hand, we have had men who write into YorkieTalk and want to know how to discipline their Yorkies, they think the Yorkies is just like any other dog, just small. This just isn't true, Yorkies are really different and you need to learn how to train them, but mostly you need patience. If a pee spot on the floor will drive your hubby nuts I suggest you get a different breed. I do think you might need to learn how to communicate with your husband and son better. Do you ever tell them that what they are doing hurts your feelings? The plus side is it’s so wonderful that your son and father have bonded so well; this is so important to your son’s well being, but your husband needs to learn that you have needs too. A Yorkie is perfect for the time in life when your children don't need the nurturing, but you still need to nurture. |
