White Shepherd mom Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 is that what's wrong with me? My mother is convinced I love the dogs more than her. Could there be truth in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 :rolleyes: sorry, divorce is no cure either, if they dont like dogs, well they just have to go so you can continue to suffer as a dog collector! And when the only photos of your kids on the walls, are the one's where they are holding a dog for a photo! When the bill money is being spent on frozen semen!! luckily I have a wonderful partner, who just and moves over to let another dog onto the lounge! fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
