I was talking about the Yorkie. Fiance says he hates those types of dogs. Would rather have a Boston Terrier. 

sorry....i was gonna say...a greater truth was never spoken.....

We know.......

I'd rather put up with the yorkie's sh*t....much smaller piles. 

Dog should win this one. 

I know :)

A sign of things to come. 

I'm beginning to think that as well. He is being totally unreasonable 

Open the door and let him run.


The fiancee, not the dog. 

Facepainter --- what Nightshade says is true. If he is like this while you are just engaged, can you even imagine how it will become once you are married to this fellow (I'm being nice on using this word).

You really should leave your Yorkie with a trusted friend for a few days then sit back and take a long serious look at your relationship with the guy. Any man who loves his mate would never DEMAND that they get rid of a beloved pet because he didn't like that type dog.

Oma she just rescued this dog today......it's a surprise to fiance.....but still....he could accept it till they found it a home...... 

Ahhhhh --- but that's still not a reason to demand that a pet be gotten rid of just because he doesn't like the type of pet. Sounds like some serious control issues - which will only get worse as time goes on. 

No man should be so breed specific. Kick him to the curb. 

Bahahahaha Panties! 

What happens if no one picks it up tonight?

so truer words were spoken!! 

Yeah, we are all a little overwhelmed right now. Regardless of what happens...I will make sure that he is in a warm, loving home tonight and the rest of his life. That is what is most important.

Then get you and your children (I'm making an assumption here) OUT OF THAT HOUSE!!! ASAP!!!!!!

My mother dealt with a controlling azzhole and it progressed from just being angry & throwing temper tantrums to violent beatings. I was 7 when she finally left him and I still have vivid memories & I'm 61 now. You deserve better than this. 

There are definitely some serious red flags here. 

i'd listen to OMA.....and if that dog is in any danger............you pm me....... 

Facepainter, a##hole fiances are a dime a dozen, but a good dog is hard to find. Sounds like the fiance is the one who needs to go. If he is so controlling now, it will only get worse. 

Take him to the pound- the fiance I mean. 

I emailed you back. 

That's terrible.
Ha. My bf KNOWS better than to try that with me. He'd go before the girls would go. They are my babies. But my BF also knows how much my heart goes out to these babies in need and he would NEVER FORCE me to get rid of one - he may ask when it's going to another foster, but that's it.
I had 4 at one point, poor guy (BF) he was such a trooper too...he would kind of stomp around & complain a little, like, d@mn DOGS, LOL, but other than that he respected that it was something that meant a lot to me.
I did however find a new foster for the 4th, eventually, but not because of the bf - she was an escape artist.
IDK, I mean, if this is something that you really want - him being so abrupt like this isn't a good sign.
TO ME, JMO, he should maybe have reacted such as, "hey, ok, this isn't really what I had in mind when I said OK about the dog - but I will give it a try, for you & it". or something. 

Wow...you people seem pretty harsh in judging the fiance. Hello, did anyone notice where the OP decided to bring this dog home without consulting her SO?

Marriage is a partnership, if she plans on sharing her life with another person it is common courtesy and the right thing to do to discuss bringing a new dog home. This is why dogs aren't always fun surprises or gifts, LOOK WHAT HAPPENS. And you know what? I think the fiance could have reacted a little nicer(actually i don't know how he reacted, just going by what OP posted and I guess he is wanting the dog gone tonight?), but I honestly can't blame people who are completely left out in any kind of decision like this and are then expected to just roll with it and accept whatever without having a say in it. A pet is a HUGE commitment and responsibility. Bringing home a new pet without discussing it with your SO is betrayal of trust in a sense, especially if you are sneaking around because you might think he wont like it is PURELY irresponsible and the dog usually always gets the short end of the stick! This is not fair to your relationship, or the dog!

I'm surprised that you are all on the OP's side and not helping to educate her on what she SHOULD have done. Personally, I strongly dislike a LOT of breeds. If I came home one day to say, a lab or a beagle or a boston terrier that my hypothetical fiance surprised the household with, I'd be pissed to high heaven and while I wouldn't kick the dog to the curb that night, my hypothetical fiance damn well better be finding the dog a new home STAT. I would be very upset and hurt if I was not included in the decision of a new family member, you just don't play with pet's lives like this, or your relationship if you are very serious. 

Maybe the guy didn't like being out of the loop in the dog picking process. 

Um....what fun is it if we can't bash the dude. Geesh, where have you people been?!?!? 

That's terrible.

Your situation is different M, you had the dogs long before any guy so of course you shouldn't put up with anyone trying to tell you its them or your relationship. Facepainter is COMPLETELY in the wrong here and IMO what she did is the definition of a-hole behavior. 

Dumb comment deleted by AuthorMan! :-)

lol! Thanks for the belly laugh.


Bahahahaha Panties!  

Ignore the post (two up).
I can write, but obviously can't comprehend the term 'rescued'. :-( 

He has a home once they decide. It will be either their house or I will pick him up tomorrow when I get off if they decide not to keep him.

I can see your point, Miss. Thang!! lol. ;D xo 

I see too many dogs in shelters because someone decided they could just bring a dog home one day and then are somehow blind-sided when their partner does not approve! It's the same $hit, different day in the rescue world.


Just TALK to your partners, people :) You either accept how they are, or move on and find someone more on your page. My ex completely sucked in being supportive of my rescue work and fostering and we fought about animals ALL the time, which is something I never want to do. Yeah, he didn't last long. I made it crystal clear to my new boyfriend that if things get serious and we live together, I will always have a multi-dog household and we will be fostering. He said "Yes Ma'am!"
