I told him he never wanted to get on here then, because i am MILD compared to some others on here.... he asked me what others did that i didn't i told him that there are some that have strollers for their pups (he told me he would commit me), that there are some that do homecooking (he told me i am too lazy for that), i told him that i was wanting to make them some home made treats, he told me that if i made them treats before i made him homemade bread that he would throw it in the trash (he has been wanting me to make him bread for a month now lol) I don't know why i thought he might understand... I am 29 and I had a full abdominal hysterectomy in June, and I went through a bit of depression.. anyway... I dont know why i figured he would understand... i volunteer at the local pound and his family thinks i am nuts... they are like umm don't ppl get PAID to do that??!! anyway sorry for the long post i just really needed to vent

dont let other people put you down.. they should mind their own business..

do what you love.. if they dont understand, then too bad.. but your dh should be babied too... dogs give unconditional love.. but people have conditions.. dogs are better.. but people are more important than dogs

Mamamia don't know what to tell you my hubby didn't want a yorkie at first he wanted a big dog, but when I got Phoebe my first yorkie love everything change the only condition he has was that he will never walk Phoebe wearing pink or push a stroller you should see him now give him some time and introduce things little by little, my hubby didn't want me back on yt because of what happens to me (long story)and don't want to go there at all but he respect my choice he just told me be very careful who you talk too, and after spending the saturday at Jeri's (new yt member friend) he is ok anyway be patient, maybe is he trying to tell you that he want more time with you but you sure know him, ask him when he is in the good mood what is all that about

When we first got our Yorkie, my husband wasn't very excited about the fact that Carmen was going to sleep in the bed with us, but he got used to it and I think he loves Carmen as much as I do. She sleeps right in the middle of us! He now spills her as much as I do!!

my DH wasn't raised with animals as PART of the family... the family OWNED the animal... I feel like my animals are a step down from my kids, but i still love them and they are my furbabies!!

[lulababy]

aw im sorry he is like that.. i feel like if i had a husband id probably get the same treatment.. oh well, what cna you do but hope they come around?? you are not crazy .. oh and I totally want a stroller for my babies LOL

[charmed239]

I totally know how you feel. I had a full abdomin hysterectomy in March. in like 3 weeks my hubby was like..ugh shouldnt you be better already? and He was less then thrilled when I got Riley because we already had 3 other dogs. but I had my heart set on a Yorki, so I got him anyway..lol...and I have heard many referr to their husbands as DH, I never knew exactly what that stood for, so I like to think that it stands for Dam Husband!..lol. I just tune mine out after awhile,when he starts complaining about stuff. (and they say women nag all the time)

lol...This subject is soooo dear to my heart....I have Barney.....He is amazing in my eyes....Hubby sees him as a "dog".... Barney is my baby....He kept me from losing it literally when my daughter and grandbaby moved out....Talk about empty nest syndrome.....Barney has clothes he wears.....Special collars w/ little charms on them...Bows for all the outfits....They are boyish outfits and bows.....He has a stroller for long trips and for uses like the vets ofc or flea markets.....

Barney has never been on our bed,,,Hubby wont allow it.....He can get on the guest bedroom bed and he can get on the living room furniture but not hubby's chair....And he can go in the office but is not allowed around his desk or on his chair....I finally gave up on him- hubby is the way he is.....He will buy Barney's food for him(quality)...He will pay for Barney's vet visits and meds(heartworm)...He lets Barney out in the afternoons to potty....He just does not care for Barney...He does this for me....So I am accepting that this will probably never change.

BTW Hubby thinks I am on Yt too much also....But he has been really relaxed about this recently

HAHA!!! I like your post! I too have no idea what DH means but I like your interpretation! They do nag!! But they won't admit it!

[Shirlthepearl]

You enjoy your furbabies my friend. If they don't understand, so what!! Strollers are ideal for shopping so you don't have to leave them in a car or at home. I haven't got one yet but plan too.

God bless

Hugs Shirl x x

I'm sorry you have to deal with a not so understanding hubby, just tell him to go get a hobby or something. My husband almost went into cardiac arrest when he came home and found Princess Lulu LOL! But she has really won him over he adores her and takes her out for walks everyday(and wearing pink dresses too)he says that she is a chick magnet! that women constantly come up to him to pet my Princessso I didn't believe him and one day I followed him to the park where he walks her and he was surrounded by women. He could care less what I do on the computer or how much time I spend.

[carmensmama]

I am glad that I've found lots of people that feel the same way about their dogs as I do! My husband is very understanding and seems to be as attached as I am. We even had Carmen at our wedding!

[carli]

I always wanted a house dog. Hubbie said "I absolutely forbid it"! Got a mini schnauzer and he hated that dog. Somebody stole her so for fathers day the kids and I got him a white shepherd. He loves shepherds and especially the white. About 6 mos. after we got the shepherd an ad for a yorkie came up in the paper. I showed him the ad and he said NO!!! I proceded to say "You know what Knala means to you and how much you love her and she's you bud? Why can't I have that same relationship with a dog of my preference. Well we got Radar. He (hubby) is addicted. We now have 3 adult yorkies and our girl just had 2 babies and HE doesn't want to give them up. So we now have 5 yorkies. Don't give up. Sometimes though it will come back and bite you!!!LOL

LMAO DH stands dear husband... although damn husband fits better sometimes lmao... My DH was great for the first few weeks of my TAH, but then he is like can you do ANYTHING?? I wasn't allowed to drive, so I couldn't go ANYWHERE unless he took me lol.. I gripes and moans, but i usually do what i want in the end lol...
