Well, i wanted a dog ever since we got married...5 1/2 years ago and my hubby didnt yet, so being that we both live under the same house and it is a large responsibility to take on, i respected his wishes, if you will, and we agreed upon a cat instead (RB Gabe)..easier to care for, etc. Anyway, i do think that your husband shouldnt FORBID you from getting a pet, but being that you are man and wife and you share a house and a life 50/50, both need to agree, or it wouldnt be right, in my opinion.

5 1/2 years later, we finally got our dog...and it was good timing, we may not have been as up for it, 5 1/2 years ago, as we are today.

Just my 2 cents.
