Would you give up your pets for a lover
I wondered how emotionally attached people can get to thier animals? I have been trying to rent out a room, and I get alot of people with dogs looking for pet friendly places. I sort of wondered if they were going to risk having no where to live just for these pets. Combined with trying to find someone 420 friendly I havent had one person ready to move in.
Then I was talking to a guy I have been seeing and he hinted I could probably rent my house out, and then I could become his room mate. I was speechless for several reasons, but then I got all teary eyed and said what about my kitty your dogs would kill it if they ever got ahold of it.
That was it, end of conversation! So I guess that means we both have a stronger attachment to our animals then too each other? I keep trying to remember people called to rent my room and wouldnt give up pets so maybe its just we arent ready to give up something like our pets, not that we value our pets more then our relationship.

Hell no i wouldnt give up Venus for ANYONE. hell, I didnt give her up when I had nowhere to live. I ate ramen noodles for the better part of a year to make sure her and my other little ones had their food and didnt go without. Its like with children. you wouldnt expect someone to give up their children for a lover. If you wanna be even my friend you have to like my dogs. if you dont like or at least tolerate them, there's the door. Dogs are much more loyal, loving, trusting and better behaved than most human beings out there. and if they eat your stash, then its ur own damn fault for leaving it out. i wouldnt give any of them up or weed. im willing to compromise on alot of things besides my dogs, my friends and my weed.
maybe Ya'll can slowly introduce your animals. bring ur kitty in a crate where they cant get ahold of it, and let them sniff around and get used to having it around. they will eventually deal, and get along or at least share living space.

My girl and I own 3 cats and we have already talked about who would get which cats if we were to split, she would take 2 and I would have the other.
Hope it never comes to that but they are important enough to both of us to feel the need to come to the best solution if the situation ever arises.I don't believe either of us would ever consider giving them up for a new friend , they would have to take the whole package or nothing.

Between you and I, I have twins its just that one never comes out of hiding unless I am here all alone.
I think I will keep trying to find a room mate.

Don't sweat it... my ex wouldn't give up her animals an both she and my children almost ended up on the street.... She still places those animals higher on the list than her own children!!

I would never give up my dog for someone. My boyfriend and I have already talked about who would get him if we ever broke up. He'd be all mine

I would never get rid of a pet for a significant other. I'm a cat man and would never get rid of them!! Why is it, a man that owns a cat instead of a dog is less manly? I get hell from my "macho" friends for liking cats over dogs.

Tell your friends comparing a dog to a cat is like comparing a street slugger to the ultimate martial artist , cats are faster, more agile, and meaner than any dog.
Pound for pound a dog will get it's arse seriously kicked by a cat.

Nope! Patsy is my buddy and that's that. Anyone I date will have to deal with her as long as she's alive.
I love the company of dogs, and the only way I would ever consider NOT getting another dog would be if my SO (and this is WITH a ring dammit, boyfriends don't count) was really allergic. And I'd want to see proof of this.

Totally agree; the pet has more sense than anyone I ever met; AND THEY R UNCONDITIONAL LUV! Have been in court fightin my ex for the dogs! What a trip! No matter how much you discuss it, found u need a contract that is binding if u get a pet with a SO! Cheaper to get new pets, but luv the one I have! Would give up a leg first!

I think I would give up all my cats for the lady that I love. However she is as much of a cat lover as I am, so I would never have the face such a dilema. The love of my life would never make me give up the other love that I have encountered over the past few years. My cats shit out-side and they eat inside, so I see no problem with letting them live with me or even sleep in my bed. I would die for my lady, but I dont think I would die for my Misty and her 4 children, ALL WHOM LIVE WITH ME.

So um... how does this relate to the title of giving your pet up for a lover?
Well anywhoo, I'm never renting a place if I can't bring my Patches along! (my cat) She's not just an animal, she's my animal, bonded to me waaay more than anybody else. Worth far too much for me.

Don't give up your kitty.
I've seen many cats and dogs who live peacefully together, you should try seeing if they would like each other.

Well, if we are going to mince words, the answer is NO. But good catch on the unwashed masses' inability to catch the subtleties of the thread title!

I had a partner she used emotional blackmail to make me get rid of my two Lakeland fell terriers and like a fool i did, needless to say i got rid of the her not long after and bought a Longdog as soon as she was gone.

Not a chance. Anyone who would be willing to have you be more unhappy so that they are MORE happy is not someone | |
