Oh how fortunate we who have been able to connect with a spouse with like interests!! That Animal Planet show - "It's me or the dog" shows some great training ideas for the OWNERS - This also reminds me of one of the times years ago that my Herb and I had some "ahem ****" and I realized the problem and told him it is a difference in PRIORITIES and we need to compromise as much as possible to handle this. WE DID -- However, loving and showing GSDs was something we both had as a real priority. The assistance we BOTH gave in, time, dedication, money etc. to the local clubs - AB, GSD, Obedience and all, was an exciting time of my life. ENJOY YOUR SPOUSE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND UNDERSTAND THE TIMES OF DIFFERENT AS WELL AS ALIKE INTERESTS. Ok, I'll lurk now.

I'd like to hear how you handle this. My husband doesn't want the dogs in the house. Absolutely not in the bedroom! The dogs do come in but are so used to being outside they prefer that if the weather is good. Rain, hot weather - they like to be at least on the A/C sunporch. Thankfully, he doesn't fuss too much about food, vet care etc. and he will take good care of them if I'm away. Otherwise - they are my dogs.
