"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

I have no pets.....(sigh).  It's one compromise I made for DH.  He loves animals, just not in the house.

It seems to be working for you but/and it wouldn't for me. When I married Val, 21 years ago, he didn't have a pet because "they were for kids." Well, now what? I had 2 little dogs. Luckily he was so smitten that if I had had a pet rhinoceros that ate at the table he would have taken it in his stride.

Now, however, I never put myself in a spot where he might have to choose between Me, Too, the Chihuahua and me. Nope! Too risky!  ;D ;D ;D

It works because I knew it when we were dating, but I do miss having a pet.  I always had at least one growing up and as an adult.  I said something the other night about a cat, and he just rolled his eyes.  I threw out (just to test the waters) "Oh, honey I know if I pleaded with you and said I really, really wanted a cat, you would give in."  He smiled and said, "I probably would."  So I now know that if I became desperate with want of a pet, he would probably give in, but at the same time, I don't want to do that to him because it wouldn't be fair to him because I knew it up front.

Hi Julia, no her eyes aren't that aqua, I can't get a picture of her real eye color though, the camera turns it that color.  Her eyes are that newborn baby blueish, it's really hard to tell b/c she is so dark. 

Pooh, my DH was the same way until we went on a field trip to the shelter.  Then we came back with him.  :)
