animals

For some time I’ve had a strong desire to get a dog, but my wife is in opposition to the matter. To be more specific she is not against a dog per se but her condition is that it is one of those small poodle-type dogs. I have no interest in those however and want a German shepherd or husky that has more of a physical presence.

Part of the issue is also that we live in the city and there isn’t a tremendous amount of space for a large dog so perhaps it’d get bored in the house. We also travel a lot so it might be home alone an intolerable amount for its emotional health.

I’ve never actually owned a dog and growing up my family always kept cats and birds. I was always besotted with those but from my understanding the love of a dog included as part of a family is on a completely different level. It’d also be nice to have kids growing up with a dog as a friend in their formative years.

my wife and I are in the same camp. I'm a dog lover (have had a golden lab in the past) and can't imagine not having a dog around again. 

It's a work in progress to change her mind :p 
but few things for incremental progress - go to dog parks, watch dog videos together and settle for a breed that she will be comfortable with🤞
