They both can have time together and away from each other. Personally a house is not a home, without stumbling into a dog or pup on occation. And a couch sure isn't a couch without doghair.

To: "'Showgsd-l'" <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Monday, August 25, 2008, 1:10 PM I'm loving reading all the responses on the different lists as well as those who wrote to me privately on this subject. I can't wait to share some of these thoughts with my friend. No one can tell someone else what to do with their heart and in this case this woman's heart belongs to her dogs as well as this man she's involved with. Of course he knew about her dogs for years because they were friends for such a long time. However, he wasn't involved with her romantically at that time, so I guess it never bothered him. The story is different now that they love one another. I've been to this man's house and I know how he lives. He doesn't live in a mansion, but everything is neat and clean and he enjoys his home. I told my friend that compatibility in a relationship is very important. Her answer was that they were very compatible in all areas except when it came to the dogs. He believes that a dog, is a dog, is a dog! I don't think he can get inside of a dog persons brain and understand how we feel about them. And we all know that a dog person's brain is very different from other people's brains! LOL! I believe that in any relationship, both parties have to compromise. However, that being said, we dog people know that what we do is a "way of life." People not involved in dogs just don't understand this way of thinking. Will this relationship work?.....I don't know. I know they love one another dearly, and I would hate to see them lose one another because of this situation.
