[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No I don't.  I had my dog before I met my now DH and if they hadn't gotten along at the beginning of the relationship, it would have been a deal breaker.  However, I love my husband and I care about him more than I do our dogs.  [/quote]

How strange.

Your husband had to live up to not only your standards, but your dog's, in order to be privileged to date you.

Lucky him.[/quote]

My dog is a well behaved and affectionate dog.  The only people who don't get along with him are people that actively dislike dogs in general.  Which is fine but they are not the kind of people I would want to live with as they are not the kind of people that are ok with having dogs in their living space.  I have always had dogs, have been active in dog rescue organizations and dog fostering, and will likely always have dogs.  I don't think it's unreasonable to want a partner that is ok with dogs when I have always loved having dogs and want to continue having dogs.  [/quote]

I think dogs are OK and have nothing against them.  However--they're very dirty and messy at best.  They chew things up, get hair everywhere, crap everywhere, and are generally a source of chaos.  Multiple dogs is even worse.  I have no problem with dogs per se but do I necessarily want your dog hopping in the bed with me at night?  No but that doesn't make me a bad person.  Anyone who would put dogs above people has a screw loose.  Sorry PP but that's you.[/quote]

So, in your mind, a single person that has a dog should be willing to give that dog up if a person they've just started casually dating doesn't like their dog because the person they are casually dating is a person and the dog is just a dog?  Even though they have no attachment to the person but they have a bond with and an obligation to the dog?[/quote]
