Not sure where it will head, she has hard feelings about precious and how I let her come inbetween our relationship. What started out as a nice arrangment had already begun to change, she had told me in the begining that she was a dog person, guess not as much as me.
It has really been good to have all of the input from all of you :), they have been in my life a long time and they are a major part of my life. I was making some compromise's, but I think this would have been a bigger problem down the road.
By the way I'm in Locust Grove Ga and I will get some pictures of the girls on the site….. -
Welcome & sorry about the terrible situation you're in. It must be terribly hard to finally have a "human" to share your life with & not have her want to adjust to your already well adjusted family :(
The importance of your family routine should not be minimized simply because we're talking about dogs. We're not talking about object but live beings that have habits & routines just like humans only without words & thumbs :) Otherwise it's very logical for them to be a priority in your life.
I think asking someone to make a major change in your household is pretty critical to a relationship. What if you were living with your daughter?? And she wanted your daughter to make changes like not watch tv when both of you were watching tv ??? It would not be acceptable then either.
I hope if she really cares for you she'll be willing to accept your home as it is. A sign of true love :)

So sorry that it didn't work out… and sometimes we all think that everyone agrees with our way of loving our animals.. and sometimes people think "OK, I can make them change when I move in"... answer of course is, we can't change people, at least not "just like that"... and your doggy kids would not understand the immediate change from being bed dogs to being shut out...
I am sure it was a tough situation all the way around...
Well said.
I'm sorry it didn't work out either…I'm sure you'll find someone who will fit in with you and your girls. Hmmm...BasenjiForumMatch.com? LOL!
Please keep us updated and please post some pics when you can! -
Well put two pictures out to view, one of each of the girls….....as far as the girlfriend there was no agreement on beliefs, we've called it quits.
Most likely for the best at this point… difficult as it was/is... As they say, things work out how they are meant to be.....

I don't think it was a dog issue on her part but a control issue and you are right - there likely would have been more issues down the road.
My daughter is single and as she said with friends of either gender - if Thumper doesn't like them - they are not worth knowing (and thumper is very picky!)

My husband was the first man that our family dog let me sit next to on the sofa. I knew then that he was a keeper. Most of our dogs have been good judges of character…..except for our psycho lab who had a VERY short list of people she tolerated.
