You asked why my husband wasn't happy to hear me tell the dog I loved him. That's simple. It had been years since I told my husband I loved him. He felt that his daily grind of going to the office to bring home a paycheck was more valuable than the dog's skill at retrieving balls and frisbees. But there I was critical of my husband, and loving the dog! One day he told me that he wanted to be loved more than the pets.
