Post by Ghost on Jul 3rd, 2007, 10:19am Ok I got a horse and My wife aka Mrs. Goatie dont know yet. :o :o 8) ;;D :-X Not sure how to break it because when I brought home the 4th dog she said she would kill me if I brought home another animal. now mind you I didnt bring it home and it is not just mine there are 2 other owners, and we got it free. I did joke with her and when she asked what I did the other day I said went shopping went to the bank got a horese and brought it home, and rented a movie. she said "you brought home a horse?" so I replied no I didnt bring one home. so technicially I didnt lie. ;;D ;;D ::) I know it aint gonna save me. ;) Mike the scared Goat |

Married almost 25 years, the only advice i have is: be afraid....be very afraid. That and remember the 5 rules of marriage for men. 1: You were right 2: I was wrong 3: It will never happen again!!!! 4: I don't know WHAT I was thinking 5: I'm sorry! Guiseppi |

Title: Re: How Do I break the news? Post by taraann on Jul 3rd, 2007, 10:46am Yup so dead. I told Sam the last time he brought home ANOTHER pet if he did it again he would sleep in the car with the damn pet. (Then he brought home Shelby dawg, just a tiny neglected puppy. The kids said CAN WE KEEP HER?!?!?! And ofcourse Sam said well it's up to mommy >:(. But I couldn't say no!) Now Shelby dawg is my baby. But I was pissed for a while. |

Sell it and split the profits. Then buy her a nice gift with your share of the proceeds, and hope she never finds out. |

Title: Re: How Do I break the news? Post by sandie99 on Jul 3rd, 2007, 12:00pm Mike, does your wife like horses? If she does, she might spare you. ;;D My advice: show her the pic of the horse, take her to see it and hope that she will not be as mad then... I definetily want to hear what will happen next! ;;D Sanna |

Title: Re: How Do I break the news? Post by cynjeep89 on Jul 3rd, 2007, 12:38pm Tell her the last dog you brought home had a sudden growth spurt while she was out of town. - OR- The horse just followed you home one day. -OR- That you saved him in the nick of time from the glue/dog food factory and knew that she would do the same thing because she has such a caring and big heart for animals facing a certain death. |

Title: Re: How Do I break the news? Post by LeLimey on Jul 3rd, 2007, 2:17pm Why don't you just phone her and tell her you've been offered it for free and about the money making opportunity - I'd suggest being vague about WHEN exactly you were offered it and the fact that its somewhat of a fait accompli! Other than that Goatie all i can offer is to take up a collection for flowers for your memorial service.... |

Title: Re: How Do I break the news? Post by Mosaicwench on Jul 3rd, 2007, 2:24pm Married almost 25 years (and being female) I'd say if you can afford it's upkeep and it doesn't poop on my carpet, you should keep it. (That thinking is why I am presently living with 3 bass guitars, a regular guitar, two pianos, a dog, a cat, a husband, and a teenager)! There are too few people in the world with your compassion. I'm glad you kept him. |

Title: Re: How Do I break the news? Post by Ghost on Jul 3rd, 2007, 4:20pm Well I just dont know if I should let them meet first or tell her now and suffer. I think she will like him as gentle as he is but he is a monster and intimidating to some. His feet are so big it looks like he is using 4 river turtles as loafers. |

Title: Re: How Do I break the news? Post by horsegirl on Jul 3rd, 2007, 6:35pm i do this all the time,im the animal nut,and he,not so much but after 10 years of marriage i figured out as mad as he gets thats what he loves about me,the last horse i got was a couple months ago ,i went with its a rescue horse and it was free,but i have also gone with its just for a while and we will sell it soon and make a profit,and yes horses are herd animals but sometimes 2 are difficult cause they buddie up and dont want nothing to do with you,stud thats gentle and easy to ride and free? |

Title: Re: How Do I break the news? Post by Jonny on Jul 3rd, 2007, 8:06pm Heres how this would go down in Jonny world! I got a horse, it was free , so get me supper and a beer! The key word is "free"....;;D But then again....pulling that off in the city where I have nowhere to keep the damn horse makes a big difference on how I would handle that situation ;) |

Title: Re: How Do I break the news? Post by UN solved on Jul 3rd, 2007, 8:20pm I agree with those that said plead ignorance. Tell her the voices made you do it !! :P This was a good reply: 1: You were right 2: I was wrong 3: It will never happen again!!!! 4: I don't know WHAT I was thinking 5: I'm sorry! Before she finds out, hide all weapons and sharp instruments. Keep a phone handy with 911 on speed dial !! [smiley=laugh.gif] Tell her they were going to kill it and you saved it !! Dress up like the rhinestone (sp) cowboy w/ lights and all. Last suggestion: Don't just stand there. Moving targets are harder to hit!! Goodluck & see you on the 'other side' UNsolved |

Keep in mind that *wifely* selective hearing may happen here. She might just hear this, "When I saw this horse, all I could think of was you honey." (what she intuits from that statement, "hmm, he thinks I look like a horse". And that, dear goatie could lead to a point in your life where everything flashes before your eyes just before she whops you upside the head with an iron skillet. Being a stud horse, he probably won't take too kindly to any other horses unless they're mares. He may be free, but do you realize what it's gonna take to feed a horse that size? Farrier's bill? I sold my last horse because we figured out that he kept getting hurt in some form or fashion because he liked all the attention he got from the vet and everyone else. How old is he and how much does he weigh? I know he's a draft horse, but what breed? 'darlin |

Title: Re: How Do I break the news? Post by M.R. on Jul 4th, 2007, 11:42am Okay, this is what you need to do 1. Dig a big fire pit 2. Put big forked poles at each end 3. Buy 500 hamburg buns and 5 gallons of BBQ sauce Just before she comes home, start a fire in the pit. Stake the horse off to the side. Set the buns, BBQ sauce, a long pole, and a chainsaw off to the side. When she gets home, look at her and go, Hi hunny, I hope your hungry, I'm making supper. Hopefully, after that visual, keeping the thing won't come off as that bad. This is what happens when I start to feel a little bit better (or the meds kick in) Mike |

Roasted goat is the best. It's just very difficult to get the smell of charcoal and cumin out of the drapes. |
