Question by YahooAnswerMan: Dog’s versus husband?
My wife had 2 dogs before we got married, and now has 2 more. She says she’d rather get rid of me than the dogs. I have changed things for her, drinking and drugs and cigarettes, all of which now she says bothers her “allergies”, yet she still has the dogs and they’re not supposed to bother me. They have taken over the couch and love seat, I can’t even sit on them when I come home from work because they’re on it and the dog hair kills me.Hair is everywhere, including my food, clothes, bedding etc. They ruin carpet, doors, and furniture which cost us tons to replace not to mention dog food, vet bills, fencing etc., yet she claims they’re her companions. I thought thats what a husband was supposed to be. Do the dogs pay bills? Wine and Dine her? Buy her things? ETC… How can I combat this without losing my marriage and being fifth in her life behind the four dogs?
And for those of you trolls, don’t bother answering, you’ll just be reported.
She does pay for all the dog’s expenses

Answer by Hammy You have to stand up for yourself. It is your house too. They are just pets. If she refuses to pick you over them then it’s time for you to make a choice. I hate to say it but I’d probably drop them at the pound in the next county over if my spouse picked animals over me. Oops, they must have run away.

Hair loss accompanied by darkening of the skin is often termed “black skin disease”… Hair loss (alopecia) accompanied by darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation) is often termed “black skin disease”. Other names applied to this condition include wooly coat, coat funk, pseudo-Cushing’s syndrome, and severe hair loss syndrome. In Pomeranians, this condition is suspected to be an X-linked inherited disorder since many more males than females are affected, and research is being carried out to identify a linked gene marker so that dogs in this breed can potentially be tested for the condition. Other breeds with increased prevalence of black skin disease include the Alaskan malamute, keeshond, poodle, dachshund, chow chow, Samoyed and American water spaniel. Many of the afflicted dogs are diagnosed with growth hormone responsive alopecia. Not all affected dogs have abnormal growth hormone levels though, and though many affected dogs develop abnormal signs after puberty, dogs of any age can be affected. In Pomeranians, late onset signs are sometimes associated with reduced 21-hydroxylase levels, enzymes which are involved with processing of some of the reproductive hormone precursors. Currently, the condition is still considered to be of unknown cause since similar signs of hair loss and black skin are not consistently associated with a standard set of hormone changes. Other conditions that can mimic this condition include Cushing’s disease, hypothyroidism, chronic skin …
