Please tell me I'm not the only one. I hope i'm not the only one here but are there other yt'ers out there that have husbands that aren't animal crazy? My husband is a wonderful man, husband and father..but he isn't crazy about dogs and me being an animal lover I just can't see how you could not love one. He is nice to them and tolerates me having them and how I treat them but he never sits and pets, plays with or loves on them. I don't have a question here I was just curious if there were other women out there that had husbands that were like mine. Non animal crazy lol.. |
My fiancee is not gaga over Nikko either. He loves him but is not as "obsessed" as I am. He thinks I am always on top of the dog and at times I think he gets jealous of the attention I give Nikko. He gets impatient with Nikko and while I admit Nikko is spoiled, I don't get as annoyed by his antics as my fiancee does. Nikko is extremely attached to me and a bit possessive so that if my guy comes to kiss me or hug me Nikko pushes his way in the middle. :D |
Hmmm this sounds all to familar to me as well. My husband has a cat that he adores and he is all not that fond of Kloey, I sit and oooo and coo over her and he thinks I have just went koo koo, I really think at times he is jealous of her, he has made the comment that Kloey makes me more happy then he does and I'm like you I really don't know what to do. I told my husband the other day that I thought we were in trouble because i see more Yorkies in my future and he don't, so I'm kinda scared about this. I reassure my hubby that he does make me happy and I do love him very much, but I think it's not enough. |
It took a while for my hubby to warm up to my babies. He doesn't play with them or brush them but he will pet them when he thinks I'm not watching! ;) |
I guess I would say my husband is "indifferent". He tolerates my baby's, occassionally will pet them, but that's it. I would have a couple more dogs, but I was lucky to convince him I needed Gracie. I actually had to negotiate a business deal with my husband to get her. |
yougetthesmiles..i have to say me and hubby don't get into it that often but some of the arguments we've had have been over me and all of my dogs. So you can imagine how he feels about me breeding lol..I love him and I love my animals. I can't help how I am. I couldn't imagine my life without animals. I just wish he felt more like I do about them. |
My current b/f hasn't been into animals since he lost his german shepard 10 years ago. I was really worried because if you don't love her, I'm not giving you a chance to love me and I told him that and we had a fallng out (this was before he'd met her). Then when came back together and he met her, and just fell for her. He loves her, he will play fetch and tug of war and rub her belly all night if she wants. But he thinks I go overboard with some things. She's really attached to him too and he got her a Valentine's day card too. He's cute with her, but I can occasionally see that on certain days he's not as gooey over her as other days. But he has suggested we get her a little play buddy, so we can have a life too..lol :D Hey whatever gets me a second yorkie |
My hubby is a "closet" yorkie lover :D After our first Katie died, he swore he would never get that close to another animal again. Well, Gabby has sured turned him around!! He's not that crazy about Gage....he'll pet him, feed him, and even hold him every now and then, and will tell people he's a really sweet boy but....I honestly think if we found another home for him, hubby would not miss him too much. But whenever we let them into the living room with us, he's got to have Gabby in the chair with him:) |
I can relate to that. When I lost Ty my male yorkie I was devastated and wanted nothing to do with my animals anymore. I cried for weeks. I lost all interest in my yorkies. The only one I had anything to do with was nikita my pit bull. I took care of my yorkies but my heart wasn't in it. I was afraid to be close to them for fear of hurting again. I don'tknow why i kept nikita in my heart but I did. Well Nikita died of cancer and yes it broke my heart but you know what it made me cling to my yorkies. I let down the wall I'd built up against them. I realized that yes I love them and yes at sometime they will die and when that happens I will get through it. It took alot of time for me to realize this. I had even planned on breeding at that time and gave all of that up til recentley. It was really hard on me but I"m glad I got through it and feel the way I do now. I love them and I'm not ever going to shut my heart off from them for fear of losing them. I hope this makes sense.. |

He will come around, I know he will, once she proves to him how smart she really is and once she gets out of the puppy stage everything will be fine. It has to be! :p |
I have to say he does allow them to sleep with us as long as they stay on my side or at the foot of the bed..he's getting better but has a long way to go lol |
Kloey used to sleep with me to, but when she went into heat I made her sleep in her crate and she dont mind it so I'm just keeping her in there at night, If not she wants to get up several times at night. Lets hope the men come around soon! |
I was married to a non animal lover....... |

My husband isnt so crazy about dogs like I am either. You are right they tolerate them. I think I know what my husbands problem is. 3 years ago we had a black and white cocker spaniel named Abby. He was soooooo attached to her. At 1 1/2 yrs she died of a massive heart attack. We were swimming and me and my daughter came home and found her laying on the floor dead. She died suddenly. No warning, no nothing. She went to the vet regularly and everything. He had to take her body to the vet so we could find out what happened... I know this had to really suck for him. 2 years later we got Chloe. we lost Chloe 4 weeks ago to Greenie blocking her intestines and internal bleeding from them. It was such a heart break!!!! I didnt want a dog after that. But Parker came into our lives about a week after Chloe passed away.. So I think he is afraid to get close to Parker... I am worried too, but I cant help it. He is too adorable and melts my heart... We havent had the best of luck but I know this time Parker is completely health from the start. So I pray all will work out. Sorry didnt mean to rattle on...

hmmm.... My husband was the one who introduced me to getting yorkies and he pushed me to start breeding yorkies.... after he saw I much I love them and how I take care of them. And my husband is a yorkie lover and he LOVES my babies but he isn't hands on.... if you know what I mean. He doesn't cuddle with them and walk them or even do much with them.... but he loves them. It's hard to explain..... but I don't think he'd even own one if he was by himself but I guess he likes to have them around and he gushes about them to his friends and patients (he's a dentist) but I am certainly the one the babies all run to. |
Hmmm, that sounds just like how Katy got my husband on board. Now she has quality garage time with him. Quote:

I'm glad you have Parker in your life now, I'm sure your hubby is afraid of the heartache again, but hopefully he will come around! |

My husband fell in love with Bandit at first sight. He acted like a big boob around him, talking baby talk and loving on him. When Bandit died and I got Tucker he was nice to him, but he really didn't act like he did with Bandit. Tucker has won him over though. He said the other day that he loves Tucker but he's not Bandit. To me, they are both the same, I mean I love them equally. But not Kenny. Although, when he found out about the surgery Tucker has to have he told me he cried in the vet's office. My kids accuse me of loving Tucker more than them and I always say He treats me nicer. |
My fiancee complains because when I come home from work I greet Nikko first before him. He whines about how Nikko gets a hug and kiss before he does. Uh, excuse me but if he ran to the door to greet me the way Nikko does maybe I would kiss him first. :rolleyes: |

My husband likes everything in order too. He thinks dogs belong outside. I think he would feel different about them if they were...BUT they aren't nor will they ever be..besides dont they realize that part of our animal lovin nature is what makes us who we are..me loving pets runs over into me being a soft hearted person period..i'm not just that way with my dogs..i that way with everything..i just have a nurturing personality.. Besides I ABSOLUTELY HATE HUNTING..because I dont' beleive in killing something so beautiful. but my husband beleives in it and loves it so i don't criticize him for it. The only thing I ask is that he doesn't make me cook it or eat it..and I prefer not to see it.. |
my Tootie actually warmed up my hubby to dogs, he LOVES Tootie... when I got my lab, 5 years ago, he pouted at us for months... then, Tootie was the 4th added to my 3 dogs and 1 cat. I bought him, THEN told the hubby and just flat out told him, "I dont want any lip about this, it is done"... he didnt say anything but laughed and laughed the first time he saw him. Now, Tootie sits at the end of my bed, waiting for him to come home.... it is really cute and he wouldnt do it if he thought someone was paying attention... |
