Mine too! He will do baths, grooming, but he hasn't gotten the hang of the topknot. Topknots are only for special occasions anyway.

He doesn't mind walking Uni himself, in fact they go running at the park several times a week. Doesn't mind walking her while she's wearing a bow, coat, shoes, etc. But he does draw the line at dresses, and i will have to agree. Uni's legs are just too long to look right in a dress.

That is why i don't ask anymore!!!

This is exactly what happened to me. My girlfriend bought a Yorkie last October, and although I was never a "dog person" I fell in love with the little guy the first time I saw him...and I eventually went out and got my own little guy this past March.

My hubby does pretty good about loving on the dogs, but that is pretty much it.

He doesn't do any of the care unless I am away. Now I feel so sad after seeing what everybody elses men do!

My hubby didn't want another dog (we had just put down our other dog about 3 weeks before I got Jack). I told him I was "just going to look" at the puppies. I wasn't expecting to get a yorkie that day, but couldn't help but fall in love with Jack's little face - he only weighed 1.25 pounds at 12 weeks! When I walked through the door, I simply held Jack in one hand and said, "How could not love this little guy?" Yep - hubby fell in love, takes him for walks, when Jack's hair was longer, hubby would pull it up in a ponytail, he feeds Jack, has taught him several commands and does the baby talk to him too. Oh and they even take naps together when I'm not home.

I was at the vet one time and there was a man there - he had to be at least 6' 5", really big and he had a little tiny chihuahua and was all lovey dovey with it. I thought, now that's a man!

" its funny to see and thats why Im also very excited that he can't wait to pick Twinky up. He said to me., hmm we need to have a cozy bed for her etc. And then last night he said. i don't mind if Twinky sleeps in the bed..

I can believe that!
But don't you just love those photos! Can't tell who is cuter, either...

That's my over 300 lb hubby with our 5 lb yorkie in my avatar. His dog is an even littlier chi at 4.5 lbs. that he named Puff. He loves to cuddle them at night before bedtime. If I bathe them, he is right there with me doing most of it. It is so cute to watch him with them.

Mom to Hot Rod · 05-29-2010, 08:00 AM

my hubby was the one who brought Hot Rod home as a Christmas gift. He was the one who bathed him when he was little...I was afraid I was going to break him he was so small.

He also walks them, puts sweaters/jackets on them if necessary. I only get a 1/2 hr for lunch so hubby went home to get Maggie, well he put her pink princess sweater only brought her to her vet appt. lol

Could it be, that it's your wife's plan to take her time getting ready in order to get a lot of work done around the house by you.

The key word is "CAN"! After all the years together, I know here tricks. What I learned, for my own mental health, is to start getting ready after giving her a 45 minute head start. More nap time.

Have a great day, and terrific Holiday.

Don't be sad...know you are not alone! It is okay with me. It takes about 10 minutes to bathe and dry Farrah. Soon with the addition of Vanessa I will need about 20 minutes!

LoALAnna · 05-29-2010, 12:36 PM

Yea, my DH didn't want a dog in the house either, but after 16 years of marriage and 7 years in our house, he finally relented . HE decided to get a yorkie and Neo has been our "son" ever since! DH will kiss him on the top of the head and walk around with Neo like he is a baby. He may say,"Look at this spoiled sumb***h" , but its with a smile and a twinkle in his eye!
