Would you put them out in the street?...

I would have no choice but to put my insignificant other out on the street. My dogs have proven to me that no matter what I say or do they still give me unconditional love and as my spouse was giving a condition to their love - out they go!

Hi Koalatbs, I won't have to think about that one and I won't hesitate over it I will choose my loved one ofcouse,MY PETS! he cango for a run and jump over a bridge no man will tell give me that option because he will be the looser, my pets were here first and they are my babies, I will always choose them before any man. I will put a man out in the street anytime, thank you, and not my pets. Tamara

Well, my pets have always been like my kids so to tell me to put my pet out would be like telling me to get rid of a kid. When Hubby and I met, I had my dog, Petey, he was my best friend and still is even though he passed away two years ago. It would not have been wise for Hubby to try to make me pick between them though. Now we have Morgi, our cat, and she is both of ours so I don't ever see him wanting to get rid of her. As for someone elses relationship, I'd say that it's something that needs to be addressed up front just like kids, where to live, jobs, in laws and all the rest. It's part of seeing if your compatable. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~ [/b]

I'm sorry but there would be no way in hell I would ever give up my "babies" no matter what and would rather put serious evaluation over my spouse or significant other...I'd rather dump him out than my furbabies. I sure as heck hope you're NOT going to get rid of your cat or dog just because your partner is giving you this ultimatum --is he allergic..then tell him to take allergy medicine. Animals have feeling and are very sensitive and give unconditional love--does your partner? Doesn't sound like it

Hi koalatbs, I love my two cats very much and I think I might leave with them. Seriously, I would not put them on the street, but I would either find them a good home or leave them with the SPCA. Blessings.

This is actually a very real thing for me. My roomate/bf has decided that my cat Star who has always slept in the bed with me can't sleep there anymore which is causing a serious problem for me. My bf knows that my cats come first, they were there first, they are more important to me then anyone or anything and I am not happy about this because it is upsetting my cat who is confused. Every night when he tries to jump on the bed he gets chased by my bf. I get angry and tell him to get out of the bed instead. I mean it too. I have told him that he can go and he is truly thinking about leaving. We are not in a real relationship as far as he's concerned anyway so it doesn't matter to him. He really wants his own place anyway. I would not get rid of my cats for anyone!

I know for sure that something like that would never happen as my husband just adores dogs and we have already had numerous dogs. However, a cat is different. I like cats but not as much as dogs so if I had one and my husband didn't want it then I would give it to somebody. I wouldn't just chuck it out on to the street.

I would guess it would depend on who came first - since I don't have a significant other at this time, my cats would come first.

I love pets! If this ever happens to me I would surely be sad. However, I really don't have any other option but to make sure that they find a new home. I might ask my friends who also love pets or I can bring them to an animal shelter or a pound perhaps. But whatever happens I'll make sure that they get the care that they need.

Hi koalatbs. Well, the only reason for my spouse to say something like that would be because of his allergies,then I would tell him to try out some meds.If they didn't help I would have to find a new home for my cats.I love my cats so I would get someone maybe a relative to take them so I know they would be taken care of right! Now, if my spouse just wanted me to get rid of them bacause he just didn't like them,then we would probebly get into a fight! And I would probebly win!lol. The cats would go nowhere. My huisband would be mad for awhile but that would soon fade and we would be one big happy family again....with cats!

Hmmm let me think, them or my pet, out on the street. Yeah the hubby would definately go! I could not throw a defenceless, harmless pet out into the cruel world or in a home I just would not do it.

It would be him that was gone not my pet. I love my cat and there is no way that I could put him or any other animal on the streets. I couldn't give my cat away either, I just couldn't. I love him too much. I think that if a guy was acting like that it would cause big problems in our relationship.

Hi Koalat, I would definitely not get rid of my pets as I love them a lot. Rather I would try to find the reason due to which such a suggestion came into picture. If the reason is valid and causing some serious inconvenience, then I would look for a good home for my pets or make some other arrangements so that they can be happy. However, if the reason can be negiotiable, then I shall try to convince him by giving various options to avoid the inconvenience.

If it was a valid reason, like because of an allergy or a fear of animals, I suppose I could give the pet to a friend. Otherwise, my dog comes with me. If you don't like it, you're the one that's kicked out :) However, I am lucky. My husband and I both love dogs.

I have had my oldest dog for 15 yrs. If it was a valid reason I would give it to someone. It would be very hard to do because I've had my dog longer than my hubby, lol

Of course I won't put my pets in the street. This is too bad. I will try to persuade my husband to keep my pets at home. If we still have a serious big disagreements in this issue and we can't solve it. Then at least I will find a good home for my pets. Such as giving them to my good friends. I love China

OH HELL NO!! My fur babies are just that, my fur babies, furry friends and there is no way that I'd let my spouse tell me what to do with my fur babies. If my spouse were to say to me, it's me or them, he'd lose. No two ways about it. Love me love my fur babies is the way it is and will always be.

Hello Koalatbs. I think the thought of putting an animal above human beings in any manner is disgraceful. In this case you should try to learn the beliefs of your partner before you become tied in a committed relationship. But, to find that there is some people who would be thinking of making a choice between there spouse and an animal is against all civilized beliefs. Happy MyLotting....

well, first of all i think that is a really immature way for your spouse to act. he needs to grow up. guess it depends on which you love the most as to who goes. lol

Hi koala, I just went through something like that. The difference was that my husband was having trouble with his asthma and believed it was due to the fact that my Mini Dachshund was constantly shaking. My husband has had asthma since he was a little boy and was so afraid of having an asthma attack again. As it turned out, Bogie (my little dog) had an ear infection and that's why he was shaking so much. So we were both soooo relieved beause I did not want to lose my baby boy after almost 9 years, and my husband didn't want to break my heart. As soon as I started treating his ears the shaking was almost eliminated. I was so happy. One week later, Bogie had what I though was a seizure. Within 3 days he had 4 and seemed paralyzed. I grabbed him up and my husband rushed us to the vet, only to find out he had been poisoned and had to be uthanized. Needless to say I was devastated. My husband was waiting in the car because of the cats in the office and when he saw me come out crying he too was devastated. This happened Sept. 3rd and we are still trying to get passed this shocking horrible loss. Not only does my husband feel the great loss himself but also feels the guilt of placing pressure on me to find Bogie a new home. I love my husband and tried everything to find a way of not giving up my precious loving pet, but it was hurting my husbands health then I would do what I had to. But if it was just because he didn't like the pet, then that would be wrong. When a person has a pet that they love, that pet is like a family member. If the spouse or significant other doesn't understand that then they should just get used to the pet. If they force a separation between owner and pet, then they must be ready to pay the consequence. And there will always be a consequence. By the way, in the next day or so, we realized that our next door neighbor had put weed killer all around their house and an electrical box between our house where my little guy was always sniffing. So, I don't believe it was intentional just neglectful. leenie
