Even though I have one?
My OH wants a dog. We had one that was both of ours, But she has had to go to my mums because for some unknown reason, She has seizures at our house - We think she's allergic to something in our garden, because it always happens when she comes inside. Its never happened anywhere else, and hasn't happened since she's been back at my mums, and mine has never done it.
He wants a large breed though. I keep saying no and he says its unfair because I have a dog, a horse and a tarantula (he hates them all).
My reasons are;
I look after my animals. He's not expected to do anything, except feed his hamster, which he doesn't do.
I don't go away overnight and leave them, and if I needed to in an emergency, my dog is small and could be left with my mum - She's disabled and could not take a large dog. He likes to go home every so often, so I would be left with a large dog and struggle to walk it. I know he would not want to give up weekends away. I am not willing to be lumped with an animal I can't look after properly.
I have suggested smaller breeds that I would be able to care for alone if needs be, but he says he doesn't like them.
AIBU?
