Sincerely,
Desperately Seeking Additional Furkids.
Now, maybe you need to look at the situation differently, and not as if it's a loss of your dreams. You entered in this union with open eyes and love. Now, maybe your eyes can only see the furkids, and not the object central to your life. Your husband, friend, confidante, partner, care giver, and lover.
I hear your cry, and I have felt that call when I was your age. I know when we want to bring furkids home it's a sign that we need love. And I know furkids give back love unconditionally. I think there are some other issues here that your not saying, but I think you and your husband need to devote some time just to each other. And if after careful consideration, I said, "Careful". You both agree on a new furbaby, by all means bring that furbaby home (remember most city limits are 4 furkids). But, I bet after all this thinking you two will be doing, a new furkid might be arriving on your doorstep, via the stork...
I think you already know the answer to your Dreams are with your Spouse...
All my Love,
Mother Love
