there is a distinction...you can in fact love someone and hate their guts

if you are lucky you can love someone

and also have the pleasure of liking them as well
I have both feelings for my wife
and she got me a KTM for my birthday
and I would just have a simple conversation with her if I wanted something that she was questionable over
if she still didn't feel comfortable with the idea, I'd just drop it

Take her on a date.  To the dog park.  Tell her why so she doesn't feel like she's been ambushed and if she is still afraid get a gold fish, or start on that shed.

Tell Mrs Ducatiz that a dog is better than you because

Dogs spend less time worrying about hair loss

Old buddies don't show up on doorstep unexpectedly

Dogs are utterly disinterested in professional sports

Your parents find them easier to like

Dogs are rarely jealous of your former boyfriends

Unlikely to roll over and lose consciousness immediately following intense play

Dogs don't complain when you want to go for a walk

Dogs are willing to eat anything you put on their plate and will always want more

Dogs tend to bath themselves daily, men must be encouraged to do so

You can put a dog in a crate when you don't feel like having it around

You can train a dog.

Dogs are easy to buy for.

Dogs are good with kids.

Dogs are already in touch with their inner puppies.

You are never suspicious of your dog's dreams.

Gorgeous dogs don't know they're gorgeous.

The worst social disease you can get from dogs is fleas.
(OK. The *really* worst disease you can get from them is rabies, but there's a vaccine for it, and you get to kill the one that gives it to you.)

Dogs understand what NO means.

Dogs don't need therapy to undo their bad socialization.

Dogs don't make a practice of killing their own species.

Dogs understand if some of their friends cannot come inside.

Dogs do not read at the table.

You can house train a dog.

You can force a dog to take a bath.

Dogs don't correct your stories.

Middle-aged dogs don't feel the need to abandon you for a younger owner.

Dogs aren't threatened by a woman with short hair.

Dogs aren't threatened by two women with short hair.

Dogs don't mind if you do all the driving.

Dogs love to dance

Dogs don't step on the imaginary brake.

Dogs admit it when they're lost.

Dogs don't weigh down your purse with their stuff.

Dogs look at your eyes.

Dogs like your size.

Dogs do not care whether you shave your legs.

Dogs take care of their own needs.

Dogs are color blind.

Dogs aren't threatened if you earn more than they do.

Dogs mean it when they kiss you.

Dogs are nice to your relatives.

Dogs obsess about you as much as you obsess about them.

Dogs don't care how you dress.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Your little wife doesnt object (AFAIK) to you have having an impressive collection of motorcycles.  Maybe quit while you're ahead  ;).

Try this , it worked for a mate who wanted another Duc.

Mooch around acting depressed for a week or so.
When she finally asks you what is wrong , tell her your really unhappy
as you feel your getting older and have not
accomplished all you thought you wanted to do with your life.

When she asks "so what do you want honey "
Well there are two things I really want to try,

first learn to train my own dog
the other anal sex.


What color dog do you want honey  [laugh]

who said she doesn't like dogs?

i said she was never around them much and isn't sure.

I think it'd help if you have a *series* of dates with known dogs (not just the dog park). 

Are your family with the terriers close by? Or any friends who have *gentle* dogs that you and your wife could walk & play with on a regular basis, with the hope that *over time* she gets more comfortable with dogs?

Or if no one close enough has gentle dogs, I'd check your local shelters and see if she could spend some time with older, gentle, small dogs.  Worked with a friend of mine and his fiancee, they ended up with one and then two (don't laugh) pomeranians that are old, sweet, gentle, and completely non threatening.




p.s. you guys are hilarious....killer whale + seal hybrid, dog vs anal, pony plug

Is she specifically afraid of having a Staffordshire Terrier, or is she afraid of having a dog in general?  If it's the breed, maybe you could compromise.
