[chesnuts]

[lankeela]

I think you know the answer to that one. NO-ONE would make me get rid of one of my dogs.

[Redbel]

Chestnuts, tell them where to go.....I'd never give up my dog just because they wanted their way. x

Dogs are for life! they are your family! Tell your partner to go ! No-one would come between me and my cats, absolutely no-one. Who needs apartner like that? What if you had kids, and your partners kids did not like them . What would you do then? Please take control of your life. get rid of your partner, and get another dog.

Hear hear Sambro, animals give you unconditional love more than I can say for human beings, get shot of the two of them and be happy again with some animals!!

[Thunderbird+]

If your dog's an important part in your life then others should exept that as part of the package. Give yourself 3 stars and go with what you feel is right and keep the DOG!

Love me love my dog

[wolf63]

I got rid of a boyfriend because my dog didn't like him - looking back I certainly made the right choice.

[sambro]

Wolf63 - your dog probably had a good reason for not liking your partner. Dogs can sense things that we can not. Ever notice how cats are all over people that dont like cats? They do it to annoy them.LOL

[jodie73]

I had a cat i had to re-home as my daughter was allergic to her fur but i'm not gonna hate my daughter cos of it!! My children come before any animal i have! They are human after all!!!!!!!!!

[chesnuts]

Jodie73 Being allercic to an animal is completelly different to hating one for the fun of it and taunting and hitting the dog when he thinks no one is looking and this child is supposed to be human?

[chesnuts]

I meant allergic, I type too quickly and end up with spelling errors (sorr)

[GypsyGSD]

my animals come before anything ,I would not bother with any one who has no love for animals, GypsyX

[ruthann58]

hear hear gypsy animals give so much and ask for so little in return i couldnt live with any one who had so little regard for my feelings love me love my dogs +cats +horse. hope things get better for you chesnuts how old is this child hopefully it wont be too long before he leaves home i cant understand people who dont bring their kids up to respect animals i would start to look at ways to make a better life for yourself without these people if you can better to live in a caravan with you dogs and be happy than be miserable all the time and in fear for for your dogs

[leelapops]

Oh chesnuts, love, poor you. GET RID! So much easier said than done, given what you've said, but NO-ONE comes before my dog. I love him more than anything (so much so I am welling up at the thought of giving him up!) and when I had to consider it earlier this year, due to a (fortunately temporary) relationship breakup, it almost destroyed me.

I have leanred more from my dog than I learn from humans! Keep the dog(s?), lose the "loving" family. Much love and luck to you Xx

[bensmum]

This will make me sound like the mad old lady with the cats but I am really so much happier with just the animals. A lot of it is not having to worry about trying to keep someone else happy - there are no conditions to an animal's affections unlike some people I have known!
