Also just thinking about how H has a thing with responsibility, I wonder if having S was too much of a responsibility for him, and thats what helped in the final push to run.
Years ago, he decided that he wanted a german shepard. He had one ion his youth, and I presume he looked after it, but maybe his parents did, I dont know. Anyway, having a german shepard requires work. You have to walk them, brush them, play with them, and pick up their poo. Non of which I really had any ambition to do, because I'm a little dog person.
Anyway, this was his dog , so I presumed HE would look after it. The only problem I had with it was HAIR...everywhere. I dont like hair on the beds couches and my clothes, tho H knew this.
And as luck would have it our German shepard seems to shed worst of all of them... anyway.
H wasnt looking after her, and she became a 'burden' to him, becasue he didnt have time/effort to do the things required, so we jointly agreed to maybe donate her to the police or a good home, so I made a poster to put up locally(I'm a graphic designer)
After a few days, H was very upset, seems he was still attached , and felt like I was trying to get rid of her!!! I was very confused, becasue we had both agreed, but I realized that he was agreeing thinking it was MY idea...but HE was the one that wasnt looking after her - I was just expected to do it.
Now I did really love him, but I really am just NOT fond of big dogs. And I had NO problem with him having one, but why should I be the one taking on all the responsibility you know?
Anyway, shes become a part of the family now, and while I dont let her indoors always, she is allowed in more, cause I have a maid that vacuums regularily - so theres no hair.
She's huge and I'm tiny, so I cant really walk her, becasue if a cat comes along , I'll be getting skid marks from being dragged along the road.
Oh and I pick up her poo. H never did it regularily enough , he just didnt want to - it had to be septic outside before doing it
Anyway, maybe S is just a german shepard on steroids.
