Commitment to your dog

Who is this nut?

For my wife and myself, our animals ARE our children. That's how they get treated. They have their own medical insurance policies. Their care is of paramount importance to both of us.

As it has been for both of us with all our animals, even before we met a decade ago.

Odd. I never left my daughter at home when she was 2 years old.

Now you're just being an asshole.

I mean more than usual.

 

[presonorek]

There is an old joke that hold a kernel of truth.

If you want to see who loves you more, your wife or your dog, lock them both in the trunk of your car for an hour and see which is happy to see you when you open it.

My wife has never shit in the floor.

Odd. I never paid for college for my dogs.

Hey, times change. If a guy can be a girl, a dog can be a college graduate.

Speaking of dogs- I gotta get for a bit. James and I take ours for an outing once a week or so. We've got 7 acres here, but you should see them light up when we're going bye-bye. We usually take them to one of several little cemeteries or one of the creeks. Park.. wherever. They love it and we love them. Win win.

Most dogs have to be housebroken. You clean it up and move on.

Kids have to be housebroken/toilet trained too. We all started out not housebroken.

With wives it doesn’t tend to be a problem.

I guess I was referring to my particular wife.

There was a time, before she was your wife, in which she was not housebroken/toilet trained. I also suspect that you didn't pop out of the womb housebroken/toilet trained either.

She was 23 at the time we were married. Again. I was referring to only my wife.

So am I.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

If you insist your wife choose between you and the dogs, then you're not very committed to your wife.

Why would you marry a dog hater if you liked dogs?
I know I wouldnt.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

No less committed than you'd be to your son or daughter.

So if my daughter requires a $15,000 surgery then I should have her put down?

I tend to disagree.

I've spent that and more to keep my two Boxers alive when they were pups and got into the sago palms in my back yard.
One ended up with Parvo while at the emegency vet and that costs an additonal 5k.
We then had to spend several thousand to keep them seperated. And we had to spend money on surgical gowns and gloves to handle them. On top of that we had to kill the grass in our backyard because the only thing that will kill parvo is bleach.
If you get a dog you need to be prepared to take care of them.

I cannot imagine the fool that would choose a spouse over their dog. It's incomprehensible. If some man were to tell me it's me or the dog I would tell him not to forget his toothbrush.

A husband needs to know what his worth is. So that would be a productive conversation if you told him that. He would know where he stands.

Sounds like you need to talk to your wife about your relationship. I see no reason why the dogs should go.

I updated the scenario. My wife is asking me to choose between her and the dog.

This thread is about how committed you should be to a dog. This thread isn’t about how horrible I am. Just in case you didn’t know, both scenarios are fictitious.

the question is this: How committed should you be to your dog?

Stop pretending to be completely and 100% stupid as dirt. You know what the thread is about.

When you try to prove to me that you are the dumbest person that ever lived I am not falling for it. I don’t believe you are no matter how hard you try to convince me.

Of course I would be completely upfront. I had a boyfriend that told me I cared more about my cat then him. "My cat was here before you and will still be here long after you are gone". When I got my dog we were even closer. She was my constant companion. By then my husband was completely accepting of his role. My companions, like my son comes first.
