| It is absolutely possible to have it all while living with a non-dog person. My hubby was not a huge dog fan when we got our first Reggie. (We had a cat that he largely ignores.) But Reggie is well-behaved and loved his daddy anyway. Then we added Roxie, a puppy mill puppy with some severe problems. That did not work out and really stressed the entire family relationship for everyone with daddy. We did find the "right" forever home for her thought. We then waited a long time before we got Coby, and OMG - talk about . He worships the ground Coby prances on. But as long as you have someone that can tolerate animals, well behaved dogs can co-exist just fine. .............And then one day, you get that special one that weasels right through his heart!!

I do catch my sweet heart trying to hold conversations with both of my "sons", throwing an occasional toy up in the air just so the little one can snatch it and run, handing out treats in the kitchen while cooking and attempting to enforce verbal commands that I am trying to teach my "baby". I guess it just takes time and patience and accepting the little steps. Thank you for sharing your story. I have gotten some of the BEST and most heart felt responses from YT. It's nice to belong to such a kind and supportive community.

| Thanks to you Coby's mom. The little one is learning. I am working more on his commands. I have even taken to buying him his own sofa (chaise lounge) since my sweetie gets annoyed when Brooklyn would jump up on the sofa or the bed. Now, when I want to be in the company of my sweet heart and have my "son" around, I just move his sofa to where ever I am going to be. I place a few toys on the sofa and I give him the down/stay command and then we can all be together with out Brooklyn fussing and my sweet heart fuming!

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | I'm sorry your better half is not as crazy as we all are lol I kinda know how you feel, my husband is not "as" crazy as I am about my furbabies! I will say he tolerates them pretty well, but when it comes to discipline, he tends to be more of the yeller and they run to me as to say "help me mommy from the big bad wolf" I love my husband dearly but I wish he would relax! Since you are not married, you have to make a choice, sounds like he is not going to change his way and all of a sudden be dog crazy. |
