His and Her pets

Tweet

When I married my husband, he had two English Bulldogs. I had a cat. It was kind of like two parents with children getting married. I like dogs, but my cat was my buddy. He always slept at the foot of my bed. I had him for years before I even met my husband. All of our original pets have died now, my cat Boo at the age of 14, but my husband still has a Bulldog. Since we are temporarily living in a small apartment, the dog is residing in my kitchen. I find the mess she makes very irritating; tracking in mud from the back yard, etc. I want another cat, but my husband has declared that we don't have enough room. I could probably throw a fit and insist on having a cat, but he does have a point. Where would we put the litter box? Where would we even put his food bowl, since the dog is in the kitchen? Tell me about your mixed-marriage (dog and cat). Do you have his and her pets? Have you bonded with your spouse's pet? Do the pets get along?
