Certain dogs have uses, like for shepherding sheeps. Most don't, though

Companionship is a major use.

But then they choose the other person in the home..

Bribery works wonders.

I keep mine as emergency rations. That's why I have weiner dogs

Pretty sad how this behaviour is normalized: "nag until you get your way" is dysfunctional behaviour

If it is something that is within reach of your lifestyle and means and you say no just because...it is normal that the person asking will not be dissuaded until you both engage in a constructive way.

I'm currently on phase 2 of her plan with my wife, but I'm meeting limited success. Does it only work once?

Not even for me, I like cats and some of them even tolerate me. My wife is super allergic though. Like throat closing and everything.

No thanks. We prefer free time and not being slaves to other beings' needs. Also we got more interesting hobbies that can surely take that extra cash 😁

Basically me and my wife and how “we” now own two cats.

And let me guess - the cats are more attached to you than to her?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh no, they like her way more.

Oh the dog likes me more. But I had the dog before me and my wife even started dating and im the one that feeds and walks her. My dog loves my wife just fine though.

That's how I ended up with 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 kids and 2 live-in in-laws.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

How much work are the in-laws?

As long as you change their litter and feed them then it’s not too bad.

What to do when they keep barking at the neighbours?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

You could have them castrated, that seems to do wonders.
