I have a ten year old miniature pinscher. He has slept in my bed his entire life and has never been crate trained. I am now dating someone who doesn't want the dog in our bed. What can I do to ease this situation?

Optional Information:
Age: 10; Male; Breed: Miniature Pinscher

Already Tried:
Putting my dog in another bedroom next to ours - this isn't working as the dog won't sleep

Wow- No one wants to answer this as they all probably feel the same way as I do. You have had this dog for 10 years and I feel sure the dog has been very faithful to you over these 10 years. People come and go but our animals depend on us to take care of them and to be as devoted to them as they are to us. If this guy truly loves you he'll understand that you just cannot throw this dog out. The dog does not understand this and I feel sure it is breaking his heart. You may even want to seek counseling about it as if he is a typical man he may have a real problem with understanding.
