He had to talk me into getting our first dog. However, I got totally hooked from there, and will never be without a dog again. Most of my family and close friends are dog crazy also, and totally understand us.

My friends generally don’t get me at all. It’s not just the dogs. It’s the chickens and duck. It’s my music and all my interests. I think I’m that one weird friend for a lot of people.

Aside from a collie when I was really little, I’d never owned a dog before, but the Husband wore me down after a few years. As you can tell, I don’t do much half-assed. I required a big dog, which worked for him because he always liked Newfoundlands. We spent lots of time researching breeders, dove head first into training, then into blogging, and then adopted a second. And I wouldn’t look back now! He created a monster 🙂

Great stories!!! My husband would never have a dog either if it wasn’t for me. It was quite an adjustment for him when we first got married a few years ago. But he’s come to enjoy them. I am still their primary caretaker but he will take over when needed. Recently, he picked up after Maya’s poop. That was the first time ever! He generally waits until I get home and then points it out to me so I can pick it up.

Two of his sisters read the blog, but it might be more in the hopes of reading funny stories about their brother than about the dogs. My family isn’t quite the same as me with the dogs, but they are all pretty fond of dogs. I feel bad for my dad, because he has always loved dogs, but my stepmom doesn’t (despite my sister’s claims to the contrary) and after our last dog passed away, there hasn’t been another. He used to drive up to my sister’s house and borrow her dog while she was at work, but now he lives in town, so I’m sure that doesn’t happen anymore. I think if he were born in a different time, he’d be a very different kind of dog owner, and probably would have one there in town anyway, no matter what my stepmom says.

She didn’t want a dog at all. But when I was 16 I had serious eye surgery and my parents promised I could have whatever I wanted – guess what it was. She thought we would keep it a week and then give it away. Too late. She fell in love with him. Mom fed him and took him out and he followed her around. Dogs get under your skin.

Your husband is the same way.
