if you had a much loved pet/pets,and you had met somebody,and it was getting serious between you,what would you do if your lover/partner objected strongly to the pet,and issued you with an ultimatum?you know what i mean..."the animal goes or i do!"what would you do?
None of the guys I have liked have ever had a problem with my Doberman's. They have been friendly. I also have 2 cats.
Though, my guy now, doesn't really like cats. But he knows I won't give my two up. We are part of a package. Just like he has 2 older children. I maybe their step Mom.
doberman3: Take a wild guess with my profile name, no way.

I'd say, "Ta ra then, mate. Close the door on yer way out."

Medsummer: you enter into a relationship with a pet just like you do with a human.
That is what I think, but I do remember one guy who had a problem with me being in a Doberman Rescue Group. He would say to me, (if I went to a Rescue event and saw my friends), why are they rescuing Dobermans and not a child?
I also at the time volunteered at a thrift shop where the money collected went to a shelter for abused women and children. I would tell him, I do both. Then would say, it is not your business.
He was quite daft, he did not help children himself.
The last time I saw him was in my apt when he was standing next to my front door. He had started in again with me about why do you not do this or that? I opened the door and pushed him out. I said, that was it.

My ex said close to the same thing before we split. He was mad after the cats shedding and said, we are never having cats again. I said you know I love cats. I said I will always have a cat so it's me and cats or nothing. I would not let him bully me. I think when a partner does something like that to you when they know it is one of your favorite things, then its close to the end. It is not going to get better if they enjoy hurting you.
Now, he has 3 cats. Plus, he let me name 1 one of them after one of our cats. He has a calico cat who looks and acts like one of our cats, Cookie who passed 1 year ago. She likes to curl up around your head when you are sleeping.

Maybe he was insecure that you loved the cats more than you loved him.
Its understandable. I love my dog so much, I think he smells nice even when he's wet
Absolutely, For the Right Woman, Love With another Human, out surpasses that of any animal, and at any time...
I wouldnt have to think twice, if she was the Right one, It would be the greatest To Find the Right kind of Love...At that point any animal, could never hold That Blessing, Of True Love.
