Well you are off to a good start, picking the dog over the hubby, LOL!
Funny!
Good luck with the dog, isn't there a medicine for anxiety for dogs? I think they have them for hubbys too.

first and foremost, i do not think you are rude, but i
do think that you are very persumptious in your
assessments of my ability or lack there of to care
for something larger than a rabbit. however, i do
think you made several sweeping generalizations that
you have no business in making. i understand the
committment as well as the dedication it takes to have
a dog. i am married and truthfully, a husband is just
as much work as a dog. judge me if you want, but i am
thinking of divorcing my husband so i only have to
deal with one animal in the house rather than two.
what do you think of me now?!

come across as rude, but maybe you should consider not getting
another dog. The poor dog was a rescue to begin with, and then
because you didn't feel like you had the tools to deal with his
anxiety issue, the poor dog became a rescue again. I'm assuming
he'll have the same anxiety issues in his new home, and I just hope
and pray the new owners will fulfill their commitment to him by
dealing with it instead of shirking it.

The truth is you can't be sure, and if you were not able to handle
it before, what makes you think you'll handle it now? Please
reconsider getting a dog. Dogs are way too dependent on us
emotionally to be tossed away, by the ones they love and count on. A
dog is a lifetime commitment, no ifs, ands, or butts and you need to
be committed to seeing any and all issues through to the bitter end,
no matter how difficult or expensive.
