Has anyone wanted to add to their 'collection' of dogs but there other half doesn't?
We have had our rescue collie for nearly a year. All good. We did foster a collie puppy for a bit as well, but sadly he had huge issues with men due to abuse and despite trying our best to get him to trust my husband he could not cope. I would of happily kept him but he freaked out when ever my husband was home. Which wasn't fair on either of them.
So I fell my husband has been put off due to this experience.
We had always said we would have 2 dogs one day (this used to not be possible as our last dog was reactive with most other dogs- although we started to consider a well matched second before we sadly lost him very young to cancer)
I have found what sounds like a perfect second dog from the rescue I got sky from and fostered for. But husband keeps saying stupid excuses: yes we don't have tonnes of space but all you need in the house is a bed, we are out lots, time wise- we have a dog already so not much extra time other than training new young dog and money wise I now have a job (Dogs come with me to my horses- I just have a girl who I care for come for work experience)
Anyone been in this situation and changed there OH mind? I want to respect him and not just pick him up!
