As
soon as I read it, I thought, “Oh wow, that’s not a good idea.” While
the story is definitely “awww” worthy – love for doggies is a
universal truth – it’s not a step I think Mila
should take with Ashton. Doing so will send him the message she’s
"just" that into the relationship.
When
a couple gets a dog together, more often than not, it’s because they
want to share responsibility for something. They embrace the idea of caring for a
living and breathing thing that they can call theirs. If they aren’t
ready to marry and have children, they’ll substitute an animal as their
child. All in all, it's a huge commitment.
From
where the woman sits, it’s not a good idea to do this with a man
because it says to him that he can count on her always being there. This
isn’t something a man should know unless he's proposed to her. As such, heavy actions involving commitment should come from
him.

By
the way, a loophole to this doesn’t exist in the event he offers up the
idea to get the dog. It’s still in a woman’s best interest to say, “oh,
such a cute idea, but I’m so busy, busy, busy, and wouldn’t have the
time.” She shouldn't volunteer any additional information like, “But it’d be
great if you got one.” Let him figure it out on his own.
Let’s
say that the topic of getting a dog never came up but you really
want one. This is fine. But, don't adopt or buy based on what he considers the ideal pup. If he loves
chocolate labs but you want a beagle with big floppy ears, get
the beagle. If you get the lab, he’ll obviously know what you’re up to
and think you’re using it as a reason to become closer to him. You might very well scare him off.
However, the
best reason to not get a dog with a man before you’re married is
because if you break-up, it’s one less thing to fight over. The dog was a
factor in Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s split. All of the
sudden there’s a custody battle of sorts on your hands. In fact, it says
in the article that animal custody cases have escalated as much as 15%
in the past five years.
Don’t bring potential problems to yourself that you can control. Once he proposes and sets a wedding date, you can start thinking about how many puppies you want. Until then, you're too busy to share furry custody...no matter how cute the pooch is!

Tell me what you think! Should Mila and Ashton get a dog together?
Until next time…
Shine like Platinum!
