Tonya, that's how my husband and I are as well. I can't even remember the last time we had an argument, but when we do it often has to do with the dogs.

He grew up with a dog around but it was a dog not a "kid" and it was not allowed on furniture at all. He loves the dogs and he even calls himself "daddy" to them, but he tends to get moody about the dog hair and doggy "smell" (which either I'm too used to or doesn't bother me).

Well, after calming down a bit, I'm figuring the easiest way is to set up something just for her to lay on out there. I've seen those cheap foam chairs in places like walmart before that are like for college dorm rooms and such. If I got something like that with a soft blankie over it and designated it as her place it'd probably be easy for her to make the transition.
