Hi Katie,

This is coming from someone who dropped a potential boyfriend because he was allergic to my cat, so you can take this with a grain of salt (or, ALL THE SALT! LOL).

I say keep the dog and dump the boyfriend.

If you keep the boyfriend, meet him ANYWHERE but in your home. This will give him the message that your pet trumps him. He will probably dump you, actually, when he sees that he’s not at the top of your totem pole. BUT how dare he say “No man will ever want to deal with that dog” implying that no man will want to deal with YOU EVEN WITH THE DOG!! Darling, I know PLENTY of men who are DOG PEOPLE who would not only love your dog, but would support and take part of his training/education!!

He’s showing serious yellow, orange and red flags here!

Best,

Inky
