I so want to have a pet. I am not a cat person but a small to medium small dog would be nice. However, my husband wants a Lab and won't even consider looking at a smaller one. I keep trying to explain that this pet would help me with my depression that I have experienced since the emergency surgeries that I have experienced this last summer. I had a sweet dog for 18 and a half years. He passed away a few years back and I miss him. How can I explain to my husband that a big dog would be too much for me?? He just refuses to entertain anything other than a Lab. I would be happy with a shelter pet. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah wow, this site helped so much, I mean really who do you know with this infliction? No one, felt so alone and disgusted by myself every turn.
But it ended up being so damn strengthening, I got fucking moving, really only another choice.
