Let me just say this, after I adopted Maxi (my white Maine Coon cat, who btw believes he's a dog my husband really blew up and told me to choose between him and the cat... I won't bother telling the rest of this story, Maxi is obviously still with me... I would NEVER give him up. Or any other pet for that matter. I think it takes some lack of consideration for other person's feelings and frankly, some audacity to demand of a spouse or partner that they give up their pet. I think in my case if I gave in to that ultimatum and gave my cat up just to keep peace in the house, I would resent my husband for it, and be very hurtAww, i hope you can keep her. It is difficult when the other spouse says you can't keep one. I don't know how i would handle that. She is a beautiful little pup.
