[quote=Anonymous]I got a dog.

I am in my 40s. I have a job, and a family, and a stable life, and the means to provide for this dog. I've had dogs before, so I know what responsibilities come with them. The dog is a senior dog from the shelter, so it's not like I went to a breeder/puppy mill/adopted a puppy or anything else someone can find objectionable (I personally don't find those things objectionable, but recognize some people do). He is really sweet, and doesn't seem to have behavioral issues (my family/friends/neighbors are safe around this dog). I don't have any other pets (not an animal hoarder). I've never surrendered a dog (mine have lived long, pampered lives and died of old age). I've never been in legal trouble (for anything, but specifically for abuse/neglect of animals or children). She has dogs, and has had them her whole life (so it's not that she is fearful or allergic, or doesn't like dogs).

I can't think if a single reason why I shouldn't have a dog, but here we are.

It's been a week, and she refuses to talk to me. We usually text/call daily.

She does this a lot when I make a relatively mundane decision that for some reason she doesn't agree with, and it makes me sad and anxious, but mostly really confused. My (extended) family loves dogs. A new dog is a happy thing. Why is she so angry about this?[/quote]
