[quote=Anonymous]OK, OP. Here's a little story....

DH and I got a dog, the type HE wanted when we got married. He loved this dog, but spent little time. All responsibilities ended up being mine. I get pregnant with first, dog is a problem, shedding, out of control, constant medical, grooming appointments I couldn't handle it.

We ended up crating her all the time as I was stressed out by her and constant shedding (mouthful of hair in DD mouth, despite daily vacuuming)

I begged and pleaded with  my DH to give her to a better home where she is not crated all the time, they have more time to take better care of her.

He refused despite it seriously affecting our relationship. I would get so frustrated with this dog, shedding being out of control and DH helped NONE. Imagine daily fights over it. But DH would insist the dog is everything to him. What BS.

One day I put her on Craigslist. I eliminated a ton of emails and found this amazing couple who have a sfh, many acres. I visited her and interviewed her and they adopted the dog. She is now blessed with a great home and couple that adores her. After 5 years we still send emails and I get updates on her.

Why I wrote is because I know how you feel. It is so frustrating that my husband fought for our dog as if it were more important to him than a peaceful home and relationship, in your case a health issue. Particularly because all he did was pat the dog on the head at night when he got home.

Find a great home for your dog and good-bye.[/quote]
