I grew up with dogs as pets and before Vivi, was owned by two loving and large golden retrievers. My significant other, did not grow up with dogs and although he tolerated my retrievers, he was not as anxious as I was to replace them after they died of old age. After bringing house rabbits, a hedgehog, a hamster, and a guinea pig into my studio as pets, I finally decided that what I really really wanted was a dog. I love all of my animals but a dog is in a whole different category. They are like people to me. I decided to get a yorkie...in my logic, if my SO didn't mind bunnies, how could he resist a small dog. I went out and found Vivi and brought her home and at first, he was angry with me. It didn't take long for this tiny puppy to win him over as I knew she would. Sadly, Vivi was ill her entire life with liver shunt and I saw such a loving and kind side to my partner. He put his plans for us to travel aside many times because I couldn't leave her in the care of anyone. He was also supportive of my finding a new puppy after Vivi passed away as he knew by then what an important part dogs play in my life.

It all comes down to knowing your husband and what he is capable of. If he has a soft spot for animals, then it might work, but if not, it could be heartbreaking for you and the puppy. Only you can answer that question.
