What wonderful and funny stories!

My hubby is a firefighter and every time we go to the station for a visit, the guys are all over Barley. This will get them talking about their little pups at home. It's so funny to see these big and stocky guys all over the little ones.

I've got to say at home, my toy poodle is all over him. He's watching the race in the den right now and she's sleeping on his lap. LOL She'll jump up on him and before you know it two hours has gone by and he's held her the entire time.

It's funny how they can worm their way in.

I must say my DH is still in theh IM not so sure phase. He loves Scamp and is nice to him, holding him, etc at night when hes home, but he definately is not in love with him yet and scamp will get up from laying with dh to come with me if i get up ,etc. still...
Im hoping in time it will get a little more "even" for hubbys sake. I know he misses our bigger dogs but our daughter was allergic--so i think its just going to take longer for him to let scamp all the way in his heart.

My dh was just like the rest he wanted a Great Dane but now he says if we divorce he gets Laddy. He also hates the bows and says that boys shouldnt wear them so last night at petsmart he bought Laddy a Harley Davidson hat for when he takes him places .

I love when a guy admits he's in love with a little dog and isn't afraid to show it. My hubby is 6"1" 220 lbs. and takes care of "his" girls like they were gold, and he even pushes the stroller.

My husband was not at all thrilled with the fact of me getting even a dog. When i basically shed a few tears and told him that it would make me so happy to have a dog he caved. When we went to the petstore to pick out a puppy i had already decided on a yorkie bc of my allergies. when i picked her out he said " you want THAT one?!" and "why dont you get this one over here" haha I told him that i wanted the yorkie ( marley) and that i wouldnt settle for anything else. Well needless to say he was upset bc i think he thought i was going to get a big dog that he could rough up. He was distant from Marley for about one day and then she walked right up to him and wanted to play. as soon as they started to play he didnt come right out and say it but i know he had a warm spot for her in his heart. They play all the time now and she loves him. Ive never seen this side of him before

He knows not to be rough yet he still plays with her gently and enjoys every minutes of it and laughs the whole time. I am really glad that he has bonded with her. He even speaks about her as if she is apart of the family already!

my fiancé is smitten by our yorkies too. he is a "manly man" i suppose you could say. about 6'4" and well built. he will even take miss buffey with him on quick errands! and he pouts when the kids want to play with me over him

i tell him to give them treats more often

lgoodall · 03-23-2009, 07:29 AM

My husband didn't really want me to have another dog. I grieved so when my last one died that he didn't want to see me go through it again. However, he gave me my little yorkie, Tucker for Christmas. Now he loves him to death. The little guy has definitely won him over.

Aww, I love all these stories.

My dad will hold Sapphire and talk to her sometimes, too.

And my younger brother, who's almost 6', plays with her sometimes, too.

LibbieLu08 · 03-23-2009, 07:52 AM

haha...When I told him I was getting Libbie he was all like, don't get her get a bigger better dog. blah blah blah.... He'll always say things like shes so tiny I'm just gonna kick her. I have had her for one week now and he's super attach. He is starting to tell everybody that Libbie is "his daughter". Everytime I put her in the crate when shes being naughty. He's telling me to take her out and sits by the crate to comfort her if shes crying. hehe... all guys are softy towards our fur babies.

My Brother in law. who is in construction has two chihuahuas he walks. It's a riot. But he loves them dearly.

My father thinks the sun rises and sits on my yorkie. They both take their naps together and when we travel in the car she's on his chest in the back seat with both of them asleep.

KSV · 03-23-2009, 08:39 AM

My DH is the same "mans man" type. Anyway when were thinking of getting a pet. He was not thrilled I suggested a Yorkie.
He was trying to convince me a Doberman will be good will guard the house and me, especially when my DH is traveling.
What I did was took him to few pet stores over 1 month to see the yorkies, to pet and touch. Finally he was okay with us getting a Yorkie than took him to a breeder and got out boy Veer.
but said You better keep that foo foo dog out of my way. Now he will wake up 30mins earlier so he could play with Veer in bed. BTW Veer also sleeps with us in bed. DH doesnt say anything when I keep buying him toys or cloths, he happily pays for it.
