Quote: Her day starts out with her waking up and springing out of bed to take the dogs out. It stays devoted to the dogs until she finally can’t keep her eyes open and has to tear herself away from the rescue group website and email, take the dogs out, and crawl into bed
I had the mini version here.
I used to really like cats and dogs. Now they are still OK but I get that defensive feeling when the animals are the most important members of the family.
No more zoo or I am out of here. I still see a place for a couple of animals if they are not treated like princes or princesses.
Quote: So I know this is a rant, and I apologize for that
don't apologize for anything ZB, like I say BTDT with the animals but to a lesser degree.
Lil's post
Quote: ." She resisted that idea reiterated that for her the animals would always come first, and that anyone who was married to her had to understand that.
Well I got a similar speech. BB was "anyone that wants me to get rid of an animal, he goes first."
Re Lil
Quote: Every fiber of her being is focused on animal welfare and there's no room for anything else
This is the problem "every fiber", what about balance ZB? I bet it would only take a couple hours a day of your W's time devoted to the family for you guys to be happier.
Quote: And guess what? W got mad at me for “running around and messing with the car”
If you need to work on the car, work on the car.
I am sure you would not want your D to be stranded somewhere in the day and especially at night.
I am with Lil in saying I appreciate people taking care of animals but i see some people going overboard and the animals become more important than people. That bad.
ZB, maybe it is time to make an additional kennel for your W to stay in to see if she wants to be a cat/dog or a W and mother.
