I love my Cali very much, however, she is not my child, she is a dog FIRST and I don't expect her to act as anything different. If I had to chose between my family and my dog, well, my family definitely come first, husband included. I think too many people look at dogs as their children (even I say Cali is my baby), but how can you compare the two? I bought my dog from a breeder, I carried my children inside of me. I can talk to my children and know that they understand what I'm saying. I train my dog to do as I say. Sure, Cali is loyal and all, but I don't think that if my husband never likes my dog, well that means he's gonna stop liking me next. That, to me, is crazy. Life is what it is, we are all consumed with our own. Our quality of life is important, and to me, when you take care of yourself, you can take care of others even better. So she should do whatever is going to make her and her boyfriend happy, and hopefully things work out for the best for all who are involved, doggy included.
Thorsmomma, I hope the best for you. |
