Would you give up a pet to keep a potential partner? (80)
rohaanCoos Bay, Oregon USA229 Threads 10,516 PostsBrannigan70: Been thinking bout this since my initial reply (wanting to say what sounded normal) but the right thing to say (for me) is ........No I wouldn't give up my pet , currently without one since my old girl slipped away in June
I am really sorry to hear. The loss of a pet should never, ever be minimized. You have my empathy and support. 
mollybaby: I wouldn't even want to be with someone who would give up a beloved pet for me.
Who is to say then that I would not be the next beloved pet to be replaced..
Once again you hit the nail on the head, chou chou. Love you...Who is to say then that I would not be the next beloved pet to be replaced..
No way on earth
No way! Pets are always loyal but people can be very fickle!
serene56: Ohh So sorry to hear that Brannigan
Thank you Serene , I wasn't going to 'bring it all up again' but in view of the sentiments expressed it got me thinking and it felt appropriate . rohaan: I am really sorry to hear. The loss of a pet should never, ever be minimized. You have my empathy and support.
Cheers Ro , it's much appreciated

forgot the quote button again - that question was directed towards Obtinance's chiuaha or however it's spelled (ankle biter) lol
No way, I am gathering them from the streets, healing and searching them homes.
Now I have 3 small kitties on 10 days, 1 is blind and I'm doing my best.Sometimes is harder than nursing a baby.
If the partner loves me, he will love my whole personality! If not-there
are many paths in life.

Since my two G.S.D's have been with me for the last 3.5 years (from 6 weeks) And one of them picked me at 2 weeks! :) My pups stay! They are outside dogs and have their own heated doghouses. Likewise if my mate has dogs or cats I would accept them. I have 75 acres plenty of room for all of them! lol, ;)

God bless you richly. I advocate for animals, both domestic and wild, and it is SO important--we share the other with other living things, and too often there seems to be this feeling that humans are better, or have a greater priority in the scheme of things, and I am not sure I buy into that. You rock, keep up the good work.Now I have 3 small kitties on 10 days, 1 is blind and I'm doing my best.Sometimes is harder than nursing a baby.

should be "we share THE EARTH with..." sorry, but I got so caught up in it!!I would give up the person before my dog.Pets tend to be more loyal then some humans anyway.
beings i have a pet gorilla...yes he would have to go....knowing my luck, he would sleep with her more times then i would.....and thats not fair,,,,,,,,
No. Love me, love my pets.
cute, I said how wealthy is this wonderful man who loves me so much, who would consider me not having my dogs, let alone horses. I am sure with a huge amount of money. All would be worked out peacefully, I know I would be able to work it out. I make every one happy.MY JOB!

Boy Howdy.
I have had to make this choice before,had a gent to tell me I had to choose, not fair, cause they were in my life before him, which I reminded him of.
The pets won out, but I do wish we could have found a happy middle of the line agreement, but he said it had to be him only. I never ask him to make such a choice about the things he brought into the relationship/marriage. I told him I loved him "warts and all" meaning our love for one another could/should be able to work through anything we could face
Unfortunately, he did not love me with the same depth of love. No regrets, life lesson learned...move on

Pets are much more reliable and cheaper to run
