Think that's bad, you should come down south where the "pro life" movement gets really bad. Not only are the patrons harnessed, but they shout & sometimes even throw things at the employees. 
Most of the offenders are religious groups, yeah, way to live by god, I thought "he who was without sin" was supposed to be the only one to fast the first stone?.
Oh & about the "no more dogs" thing? The one who decides that is ME ... & I make sure he knows it. Hey I make money too, if I use MY money (we have separate bank accounts) & it doesn't effect him financially or whatever then he can eat a nice big bowl of "too ****ing bad".

If you live by yourself that's all good and dandy. But bringing in another dog affects EVERYONE living under one roof. I think everyone is entitled to voice their opinion when it comes to factors that will affect your every day life. Now, if my husband said" no dog because I said so, " that would not happen like that. We'd have to sit down, have a discussion and evaluate each other's reasons and then compromise. But to say, "I'm going to do what I want to do because it's my money" is not fair. He could install a stripper pole in the bedroom and have strippers over every night, according to your argument, it's HIS money afterall, right?
SO much THIS!!!! It really grates on me when people are like "I don't care if my spouse doesn't want this... it's my money and I want this and he can't tell me what to do." ARGH that's so disrespectful to the relationship and the other persons feelings. I would be right upset if my spouse said such things about the way I feel on certain matters.
For certain things (personal things) I agree.
You wanna use a bit of your paycheck that isn't needed for the household to get your favorite cupcakes, get a haircut, new lipstick..
TREAT YOSELF'! as they say.
but a dog affects everyone. Like it or not, the dog will be interacting with, be around, likely be cared for or at least fed/watered/walked occasionally, by other people in the home.
Not to mention..screaming puppy during house training.
I would sit down with your s/o and really tell him how you feel. People who aren't dog people sometimes don't "get it". Like.. ok, she wants a dog like I want a sports car.
They don't understand that dogs are for some people a big part of our daily lives and who we are. Having a dog as part of a daily routine is more than just "nice", explain to him that it brings you comfort, joy, happiness.. etc..
Perhaps discuss your plans to make the new puppy as non intrusive/problematic as possible (budget, doggy daycare, things you already have, vet plans, etc..)
Good luck

My DH at one point said no more dogs. We sat down and had several long discussions on it. Basically, it came down to me listening to his concerns, compromising or alleviating the ones I could, and mature discussion. I explained I would be willing to wait a bit for the time to be better in his eyes, to work on budget or whatever BUT we were not going to be a no dog or 1 dog household. I explained that is not something I am ok with and would not compromise on. Since then I got Ivy and then Qcumber

I said IF he had said that ... Which he hasn't, lol I like to joke because he knows that having no dogs is a deal breaker. Hey I am going to let him have a double yellow head when we get settled (most likely when we take over the ranch) so the compromise.
I was just painting a hypothetical senario where if he had said that, which would have resulted probably in the ending of our relationship.

Bad night tonight. Don't suppose this will get easier, huh? 4 weeks seems like an eternity tonight. 16 weeks on top of that makes it seem longer than an eternity. And then the thought that he may be deployed for 6 months shortly after being stationed (re: shortly after we get married and move across the country) is just....not even comprehensible.
Good days it doesn't bother me so much and I'm optimistic. This is not one of those days.

Because for the majority of trainers they're not training dogs as their sole income. They have a day job that they go to all day and then teach until late at night. They have lives and families like the rest of us. Plus the best trainers are you know... Training and trialling their dogs and working with their students and keeping up to date with outreach and online classes and new information to up their game and their student's games... Not checking their emails every 5 minutes and working on marketing all day.
Sorry but it's a huge pet peeve of mine that people get so upset when they don't get an immediate response, especially because these people are my friends and I know how busy they are.

Today was the first day of class, so I had class this morning. Then I worked animals at the zoo for half an hour (did 95% of one of our animal rooms in 30 minutes, usually it takes an hour or more). Then I worked reception for an hour. Then I went to Farms and volunteered for 4 hours.
I could barely stay functional to eat dinner, then after dinner I crashed. I slept for 3 hours and I still have a headache. Then I realized I didn't take my Allegra, and considering I worked outside and with hay all afternoon, I think that's part of it.
AND I still have to go to the store. This is one of those days I'm VERY glad I have Logan.
