I would just like to point out that it's possible to care about animals AND humans at the same time. The bonds that people have with their pets can be very strong and very beneficial for both the human and the animal.
Most of my volunteer work over the years has been (and continues to be) with animals. However, people benefit from this as well. I once briefly fostered a beagle who had nowhere else to go, and a not so fun case of separation anxiety. He was adopted by a family that had a young boy. When the family adopted him, the boy told us that Buddy was going to be his friend and that he didn't have any friends because other kids make fun of him. It almost made me cry when I heard that. There's something special about a boy and his dog.
I also donate money to human causes when I can. I support cancer research, the lung association, JDRF and other causes. I sent money for Haiti. I buy wrapping paper and other crap from my friends' kids to support their schools. Those of you who don't like animals may think I have a mental illness because I let them sleep in my bed, but I assure you there is nothing wrong with my human relationships. I care about animals AND people.
Later in life, would you mandate the husband sleep with you and the dog too???
I wasn't hinting at bestiality at all, in the least.
But is it "actually" a requirement that the dog always sleeps in your bed and your dude will have to share his bed with two life forms??
My dogs can choose where they want to sleep. If that's in my bed, so be it. I wouldn't kick them out. The man who is right for me loves dogs just as much as I do and would have no problem with this.
Honestly, the "problem" is not the beagle in the bed, it's my other dog's snoring. LOL

Well, liking/loving dogs and sleeping with dogs every single night are most likely two quite different concepts to many people. If you do online dating, it's probably best to mention this fact in your profile. It'll save you and many men a lot of wasted time.

Our dog is pretty small, and she's typically under the covers at the foot of the bed. One of the cat's, Xeno, will end up in the bed as well. Usually, on the dh's pillow lol. Xeno is his cat, so his problem. Our other cat is always off by herself.
