I know how you feel, K9. About the only thing that my husband and I ever argue about are the dogs. He grew up in a household where they had NO pets. Pets were disgusting and dirty and a waste of time. He is just now starting to truly love animals. But boy, if they do something wrong, #*() hits the ceiling. I hope you two can find a compromise. Like perhaps she is only allowed on that chair. And maybe put a throw on it. I wound up buying dog beds, so my dogs can lie on something next to us. They aren't allowed on the couch, but I'm just happy they are allowed in the house without him complaining finally.
