I'm furious at my wife.

Put a sticky note on it that says rhodesian. Or just go get a puppy to live together with the little runt.

Oh yeah, since it's still a puppy... crate train it STAT!

Hmm

Make the wife sew a full body Rhodesian dog costume and never let the rat take it off.
 
Upon further consideration, I'm calling shens.

I think this is the OP's way of breaking it to ATOT that he got a sissy dog.
 
awww... what a cute doggy!!!

So anyways, what are you trying to accomplish with a silent treatment? Not talking to each other is not really productive.
 
Go get the dog you want.. you two had a deal, she just got a dog different dog without permission, as I see it you have yet to execute your agreement.

Hell yea, take it back to the childish days of fighting. Fight fire with fire. Matter fact, go get a Rott or a Pit even better a Presa Canario. Show that wife what's up.

If they had agreed that a rhodesian was what they wanted, and then the wife went off and made a 15 year commitment to a totally different dog without discussing it, I think it's entirely reasonable for the op to get his own dog.

I was actually really not trying to be sarcastic, but I can see how my comments would lead you to believe that. I apologize. But, in all reality, I agree with you and would take it a step further and get a big intimidating dog (i love pits).
 
The silent treatment? You're . . . pouting? :roll:

Passive-agressive people are desperately unhappy psychological terriorists. We need the Dept. of Homeland Happiness on this case, stat!

OP, where to begin? Do you really believe that the first prize in a tennis tournament was a live puppy? Your wife is most likely lying to you. Your behavior is winning no prizes, either.

Dude, whatever happens, please don't take your unhappiness out on that pup, even sideways. Don't be that person. Please, please, please.

You and your wife need marriage counseling. There is no shame in that. Take advantage of the services of a licensed professional.
 
Go out and buy a Rhodesian Ridgeback, tell her you won it as a prize in a "Counter Strike" tournament. Tell her you are a great gamer in your own right.

The two dogs should get along fine.....

Get the biggest dog you can find. One that will knock over your wife's favorite dishes when it wags its tail.

Good Idea! They go well with Yorkies!

That Yorkie is probably the Boss of that group.

Get the dog you want to go along with the Yorkie, if they are both pups they'll get along just fine when they get older.
 
Takes a while to potty train any dog.

IMO, quit your whining, put the issue in your deck for future 'get out of jail' use and move on. Not like you can't also get the dog you want too. Just make sure both are fixed. 😛
 
To those who think it's shens my wife won the puppy in the tournament, or that she deliberately deceived me about it, some of you may recall years ago Roger Federer won a tournament and one of his prizes was a cow.

This thought of my wife deceiving me, however, did cross my mind the 2nd day of having the dog. So, being the resourceful guy I am, I covertly called the tournament organizer to confirm the puppy was the first prize. Unfortunately, she confirmed he was.

So, I decided to give the organizer a piece of my mind. I explained that a puppy as a prize is unfair to both dog and owner. She explained that due to the women being "a close group of gals" and "all in good moral standing," she and other organizers were confident the puppy would go to a good home. That said, she DID confirm that my wife could have refused the puppy. I suppose that's why I'm so bitter right now. There was absolutely no way she could have been "forced" to take the puppy home.

I'll bet you Federer had the sac to refuse that cow...

I still say it's your dog and you're just trying to set up a good cover story for ATOT in case the dog shows up in any photos you post.

You love small dogs. It's ok to admit it, we're all friends here. Don't worry, we won't judge you.








:evil:

Yeah, that's teh good thing about ATOT. There's never any judgmental people here.

I'll judge you. That's a ridiculous fucking dog and the tournament organizer needs some sense beat into him.

Edit: Because I can't type
 
The silent treatment is not going to solve the problem. Talk to your wife about why you're upset, and see if there is a way to reconcile. Marriage is all about compromise.

Has she explained why she accepted the dog?
