My SO wanted a bigger dog at first...something he could play ball with and take running. He really likes bull terriers....BUT.....the boys have totally grown on him and he loves his little Ricky....and these guys have made him like other little dog breeds as well. He really wants an affenpinscher.
I think he thought having a little dog was too "girly" or "feminine" ....but when we first got Ricky, some guy came up to him at the pet store and wanted to take a picture to show his girlfriend. Prince and I just stood around the corner and watched the two guys talking about their little dogs!! LOL!!
Personally, I don't think my SO would mind if I brought 10 more home!!. He's really good with them too, which I didn't expect. I thought I'd have to do all of care taking for them, but, he will feed them, walk them, and he helps me bathe and groom them. He even brushes Ricky every day.
His only complaint is my excessive spending and worrying about my boy's health and their food. He says I go overboard...which is a matter of perspective I guess...but since it's my money he really doesn't have too much say in how it's spent...and I admit that I am a slight doggie hypochondriac. I can't help it...I just want to make sure the boys are living the best life they possibly can. |
