Quick question...

What is DH? I see it in the post above and I assume it is hubby. But where does the 'D' come into play?

I'm not 100% sure on this forum, but on a scrapbooking forum I visit DH stands for:

Darling Husband or some say Devoted Husband. I hope that helps some. I also use 'TFS' a lot, another one picked up from a scrapbooking forum and that is 'thanks for sharing.' There may be a post on here somewhere with abbreviations and what they mean, but I'm not sure. I've only been on YT a few months.

I believe it stands for "Darling" or "Dear" but thats my best guess cuz it took me a while to figure it out when I first came on here too..lol!

My situation was a little different, my DH was terribly afraid of dogs since he was attacked as a child (he also came from a culture where dogs were not allowed in the house or loved like they are a part of the family), I have always loved dogs, Yorkies in particular, and I knew when entering our relationship it would take a while to warm him up to the idea of having a dog. But after 5 years of visiting my parents (with a golden retriever and german shepard/husky mix), going to animal shelters and dog parks just to get him used to the idea of having a dog, he ended up surprising me with Kiwi for my birthday last year!! Then fast forward a year later it was his idea to get Lola! And he cried just as much as I did when Kiwi passed, he loves Lola and dresses her up and brings her everywhere with us! He is a big guy 6'3'' and 300lbs and is not embarrassed to be walking a 3lb puppy in a dress!! Kiwi and now Lola have also wormed there way into the hearts of his family and have even changed their minds about pets being a part of the family and loved and cared for they way we do about them

So people can change!! I say give him the time he needs and let him make sure he is ready because you have to be a team in order for this to work, it has be a joint decision!! Good luck and I hope everything works out for you!

I have been here a few wks, and while this hasn't happened to me, I see far too many people getting attacked, insulted and degraded for posting a simple question.
This should be a place people actually ENJOY coming to, to learn and socialize. But with the attitude of some people on here, it makes it very hard to enjoy hanging out around here. I know I will get attacked for this statement. But Im saying how I feel, just how you all say how YOU feel!

There's a great thread about earned respect, search it on here.
Hopefully in your few weeks here you figured out how to navigate the site right and use the search function.
Many people here do enjoy YT...

Passion for something breeds passion in all that it has to do with. This happens on almost any forum you go to. You'll have to handle things with kid gloves.

It all depends on how you look at things. You can either take it to heart or take it with a grain of salt. People here aren't your family so there really is no need to take such offense, well, at least that's my thought.

That being said, these people are people and respect goes both ways. I know it may seem disrespectful to hear someone say something you don't like but the easiest way to "argue" back is to not argue at all.

Just move on. I've found myself in a situation one time on this forum where I must have said something wrong and I too got beat up for it. I just decided not to return to the thread.
In general, the people here are nice enough just like any other forum. You just have to have thick skin.

Easy!

It took me probably too many months to figure out the search option; and still I'm not sure I do it correctly!.

What I would like to add to this missive about "Earned Respect"; is the following:

Every person on this forum is granted respect; as a functioning, probable caring member of the human race. I recognize that we are a diverse community, with far flung members, who may have a minimal command of the English language. I also recognize that not every-one can express themselves succinctly and clearly with-in a written medium.

I recognize that every-one at some time or another, expresses themselves poorly, and I do try to clarify what a poster "means" with a question or a description of a situation, before posting.

I recognize that this forum contains a wealth of information, a community of folks, who are passionate fanciers of this breed. I prefer to think that each individual here contributes to the "whole" value of this forum. And that this contribution is not necessarily measured by the time "served"/ joined on this forum, but more appropriately measured by the thoughtful contribution that many, many, members make.

And yes there is an "Earned Respect" in any milieu, but hopefully for us all here, new or old, there is a "Given Respect" to each and every member here, particularly our new members.

I agree! I have asked a few questions and have gotten nice answers, but I seriously think long and hard about how I am going to word those questions before I post anything, I dont wanna be the one getting bashed. I love this site but agree there is lots of insults, and downgrades on here.

Very nicely said. It reminded me of the Sanctity of Life Principles I learned in college, i.e., every pt is treated w dignity and respect regardless of sex, religious preference, station in life, sexual preference, ability to pay, level of consciousness, etc., bc everyone has inherent value bc they are.

I guess I'm weighing in kind of late for this, but....I say just hang in there. The same thing happened to me. DH said "no dog!" for 5 years. I didn't want to go behind his back and get one because his ex had sone that and i knew it caused him some trust issues. Finally, one day, he just said "ok, but I'm not gonna help with it, not gonna walk it, feed it or nothing". I understood that and was willing to take care of him by myself. We drove about 30 minutes to pick Reilly up and by the time we got home, DH was smitten. As tough as it is, you have to listen to im and respect his wishes. Let him know how this makes you feel and then trust that he wants you to be happy too.

I hope this all works out for you. People on this forum (any forum, I guess) can be reeaally tough, but they have the puppy's best interest at heart. Eat the meat; throw out the bones, is what I say.
