So he tells me, "Babe, I'm just not that into..."

Sounds vaguely familar...

Except mine adds the "and they are crapping on my tools!" line.

Hehe!

Can't say that to him, or he'll take it upon himself to 'clean' the garage

And he's not sentimental. When he cleans it's radical! My babes would end up in the trash can!!

The fact that they scatter shavings on his freshly swept floor is a daily complaint.

If my SO said something like that to me, I'd have a few things to say back. Like....
I'm just not into watching non-stop car mechanics and/or gun shows all day on your days off.
I'm not into picking up your jeans that never seem to make it to the dirty clothes.
Turning your nasty socks inside right before I wash them.
Hearing yet another fart joke....

my BF said "no more chicks" that was a few days before he let me buy 18 of them then a sweet lady had some for $1 a chick He said well at that price we might as well get all of them, she had 24 chicks then I was at the feed store and seen the cutest EE's and got 4 and snuck them into the brooder LOL well then he goes to the feed store and tells me they have Marans but they were already sold. I pouted so he tells me to call them and order some

I have to order a minimum of 15 so I order 8 marans and 8 welsummers and splitting them with a friend. Now he is saying maybe we should order more because the marans are straight run and he now wants to keep all the marans now.

You are not alone...
Now, granted, the rabbits are his project... there are 4 adults and 8 babies in the garage. But there are 3 brooder boxes with a dozen ducklings, 2 large kennel crates with MANY chicks (some of which are learning to crow at 4am

), a 2x4" wired brooder with 3 dozen teenage quail, and a 4 level highrise (1x3' each) brooder with about 75 week-old quail in the garage as well. I try to keep up with it, but until the temps warm up a little more I can't move them outside. On his behalf, he only

once a weekend about how dirty the garage is (dust and shavings and "M&Ms" all over), and we do a big cleaning once a weekend, usually, to keep up with it and I do it on a daily basis. But it still smells like a petting zoo, no matter how much you keep on it, and our problem is that our bedroom is above the garage, and there's no door and the odors waft up through the heating vents.

But what are you gonna do? You could tell him that it could be worse, and he could be married to me...

Hang in there!

We got a cancelled shipment yesterday of 14 chicks. SURPRISE! I've been very good & found homes for all 14.

Of course, "home" for 2 of them will be my back yard. I need to have 10 chickens, right? RIGHT?

My DBF is freaking out. But it's partly his fault. He named the blue cochin ("Animal" from The Muppets). We can't give away a named pet, right?

 

[TheDuckCrew]

haha. when i get a guy, he better be into my pets or he's gotta go! if he does the whole "its me or them" thing then i'll just say bye bye! go get your stuff! they aren't going anywhere!
but it sounds like your man will come around eventually. get some ducks and he'll just love how funny they are! OR say you are gonna get something outrageous and then he'll be fine with the chickens!!
