My hubby is not jealous of Gucci. He is jealous when she wants to be with me. He loves Gucci so much he says he will like to get another. My kids love her also.

My botfriend and kids were all jealous of the attention Rio gets, now that we have Mignon tho he is absolutly smitten with her. Rio is a bit of a mamas boy but Mignon loves EVERYBODY,and wants to show them.
It is so cute to see a big man talking babytalk to a tiny dog.

Jealousy it is not only a man thing , when I fisrt bring Zsa Zsa home , my girlfriend asked me to choose between her and Zsa Zsa . I told my girlfriend Bye Bye because Zsa Zsa won . I never regret it .

Does anyone else find that their boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other tends to get a little bit jealous of the time/attention you give your babies?

My boyfriend and I have only had Tito for about a month now and before then we had a very active social life...we're both heavily involved in the music scene here so our lives pretty much revolved around going out to shows/concerts/events, etc...

Lately I've been wanting to stay home all the time with Tito and hardly go out anymore. My bf is feeling kind of slighted cause he's always out solo now. And it's not just at night..he gets mad that we can't just pick up and go whenever. Even though he absolutely adores the dog, I think he feels he's been replaced. More than anything I think he misses our old spontaneous lifestyle.

Now it's always...I gotta get home and feed/walk/bathe/play with Tito, I can't leave Tito alone all night he'll be sad/he'll cry/he'll get scared, etc... etc... etc... Or better yet...let's take Tito with us!

Is it normal for people to get jealous of a pet? I, personally, think it's kind of ridiculous though cute. Is it because this is new?

P.S. I can't say that I'm too terribly upset about the change though.....I'm getting way more sleep! LOL

If your boyfriend thinks your night life has been short changed because of Tito, what would he think if it was a human baby.

My 6 year old son is jealous. When we first got Brutus and he would go on the pad I would get all excited and say what a good boy etc., and my son said I'm a good boy too! I told him of course he was but we're trying to train the puppy blah blah blah...

We've had Brutus almost 2 months and my son still hasn't warmed up to him as much as I hoped.

About the only jealous thing at my house is my 6 year old Blue Heeler. When I am telling Maggie to PP,PP,etc. then praise her for doing so,--my blue heeler will run over to the same area and PP, then look up at me for praise. I tell her too that she is such a good baby. My husband isn't jealous at all. I think he's grateful for Maggie. His romance died many,many years ago. Maggie gives me something to love back. I really don't know what I would do without my three furkids.

Blue Heelers are the common name for Australian Cattle Dogs. Attached is pictures of my Pepper, with her favorite past time---FRISBIE CATCHING

Brutus'mama · 06-14-2005, 06:09 AM

Pepper is such as pretty dog! When I was looking at breeds I really liked the Australian Shepherd but I think they would have been a little to feisty for me to handle!

There is a difference between the Australian Cattle Dog and The Australian Shepard. The Australian Shepard has longer hair. If you ever get a chance to own a Australian Cattle Dog, it will be one of the most rewarding things in your life. They have the intelligence of a Border Collie, which is extremely high. They are so much like a human, that's scary. No baby talk to them. They understand things in paragraphs. Attached is a picture of my two. I have a red and a blue. My red is called Salty. Why not have a Salty and Pepper. The other two belong to my son. I was grandpuppy sitting that weekend.

Salty and Pepper! I lovd it! They're really beautiful. My neighbor where we used to live had a border collie that I kept an eye on for them while they were working and that dog was so smart it was eerie! I think he was able to read my mind and know what I was thinking.

The only thing was he used to nip at my kids feet when they would play with him and try and "herd" them!

Carolyn,
Thank you so much for the compliment. I know this it YT, but my other babies are great too. Salty and Pepper own the acreage, and Maggie owns the home. Husband and I are their unpaid domestic workers. However we do get paid very good wages in kisses.
