We've owned dogs in the past but only adopted and although the thought of a dog that doesn't shed is absolute music to my wife's ears, especially with our 4 year olds allergy complications, the $700-$1000+ price tag doesn't outweigh the benefits in her eyes.
As much as I want to simply make the purchase and surprise her with hopes that she'll fall in love with it the responsible side of me doesn't want to risk having to rehome the pup......and myself! Obviously no one wins in that scenario.
I guess I'm venting at this point but would like to hear if anyone else experienced this in the beginning. Help me sell my wife on the idea!! |
I am responding to your post and not reading anyone elses reply to you...I have a question for you, does your wife generally dislike having pets? Does she "really" not want a pet but goes a long just to appease you? In the past when you have had pets how did she react to them?
