Thank you! The simple solution is to get rid of the boyfriend.

I'm talking from experience here. My senior dog (who became my service dog late in life and is now retired and happily living as comfortable a life I can provide) outlasted TWO husbands.

And before you think Bucky is cattle-dog small, because photos are deceptive, here he is on a normal-sized chair: https://twitter.com/JordanSBrock/status/1065276009728143361

Here he is next to my wife, who's a good 5" taller than I am: https://twitter.com/JordanSBrock/status/1063278907309375490

Ditch the boyfriend. Get the Bernese mountain dog. Live your best life with a dog who would never tell you you're too small for a big dog!
