Spouses and Animals

[cozycritters]

I was just talking to my DH, who has a new job starting up and talking about how we could afford to possible actually get a house where (more) animals are allowed to be.

DH: I thought we had enough animals.
Me: Probably for here, you're right, but it doesn't keep me from wishing for some goats and pony for the kids.
DH: THE LOOK
Me: Come ON, there has to be some kind of compromise here! You knew I was like this well before you married me.
DH: I did compromise. The chickens are a compromise.
Me: The chickens are a COMPROMISE? I thought they were a GOD-GIVEN RIGHT!!!!


At that point we both lost it (laughing hysterically), but geez. I canNOT infect this man with animal-fever!

So when are the goats and ponies showing up?

LOL! I wish! Probably because he's the breadwinner he always gets what he wants.

We're not exactly zoned for horses, but I figure no one will mind a mini my my backyard

I just said: Hey Honey can I get a goose?
DH: (not even blinking) No. (sweet voice)

Bah.. you ladies are suckers..

I just TELL dh what day we are going to pick up said animal. End of story there.

LOL! I've done that and he very passive-aggressively makes everything with that animal a living hell.

He's a nice guy, but he gets his way.
