My second wife hated dogs, and we fought about MY dogs constantly......several years after our divorce she had an aneurysm and almost died, but the incident left her blind...she now has a guide dog, a black lab ( she wanted a shepherd but many schools don't use them anymore).....she loves this dog more than me!...life is strange...lol...FB --- On Sat, 12/27/08, Royal T Shepherds <gina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Royal T Shepherds <gina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Non-doggy Spouse To: stormygsd@xxxxxxx, murk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, December 27, 2008, 9:21 AM I think I have the perfect "doggy" husband. He loves the animals, cats too! He picks up dog poop, feeds animals, builds whatever I ask for, and fixes kennels, etc. He'll drive a bitch to the stud dog if I cannot get off of work also. BUT!! He has no interest in training, dogs shows, or breeding. Sooo, I get help with the animals from someone who adores them, no crap for spending a few thousand on an emergency surgery or whatever, and get to make ALL the decisions regarding breeding or showing or training. Could it get any better? When people call about puppies or anything dog related, he says to talk to the "boss". The only thing I have problems with is placing a young adult that doesn't pan out. Once the animal lives in the house for a while, my hubby falls in love with them and pitches a bit of a fit about them leaving. There are much worse problems, though, from what I hear from other wives.

I can totally see this!! My husband loves the dogs, went to dog shows, built me all the riggings I needed and completely supported the whole hobby. but he was clueless at dog shows...we always tried to make him hide - the dogs of course loved him and always wanted to get to him, instead of doing what they were supposed to be doing in the ring.. but Hank would always turn up RIGHT AT RINGSIDE at the exactly wrong moment, thinking he was helping..and I would get the evil look from whomever the handler was.. and a "what the H&*& is he doing???" Mo, the pocket protector was the icing on the cake.. thanks for the visual!1 LOL!!
