How to Get Your Spouse to Finally Go to the Doctor for Their Aches and Pains?

In summary, a group of women were discussing their husbands' reluctance to go to the doctor. One woman shared her successful tactic of using their shared love for their dog to convince her husband to finally go. Another woman expressed her desire for a Golden Retriever, but her husband's dislike for long haired dogs. The conversation then turned to discussing their own pets and the joys and challenges of pet ownership. One woman offered to email pictures of her own pets to another woman's daughter. The conversation then returned to the original topic, with another woman sharing her frustration with her boyfriend's refusal to go to the doctor. The group discussed possible reasons why men avoid going to the doctor, with one woman joking that they prefer to complain and get out of

To go to the Doctor. Well I'm not proud of it, however it was a creative idea and it worked.






Wanna know what I did to get my mis-shaped hubby to finally agree to go to the doctor for his back?



I told him I'd sell his puppy on eBay!

Erin! You've surely seen that stuff. In 11 years in NC I haven't had one year yet without it.

She is a golden retriever. Her name is Delaney (but I call her Laney) She doesn't shed. Goldens, if brushed daily will not shed much at all. My two previous cats shed more than my two golden retrievers and they were a combined 41 pounds of fur and my pooches are a combined 185 pounds of fur!

It worked, he'll be going this week! ;) (he adores that dog, and although part of him thinks I'd never do it, part of him is wondering if I'm just crazy enough TO do it...and he's not willing to risk that part!)




such a wise, wise man!

reminds me of when my nephew asked my sister if they could get a dog...she asked what kind he would want and he said a "Golden Reciever"!!!!!

Aaaaaaawwwwwwww! was the first thing that I said when I saw your puppy! Although I don't have any pets. A golden retriever would definitely be my first choice!

Good for you getting your DH to the doctor!

My 2yo DD is sitting on my lap and when I opened this thread and looked at the pic, even SHE said "Doggy! Look mommy, doggy... in snow... Doggy in snow!"

And now she is yelling at me to, "Stop push buttons, mommy. I see doggy again!"

We have a Chocolate Lab named Ollie....he doesn't shed all that much either.
He does however sleep in bath tubs....

I wish the Yellow Lab I have at home didn't shed. Unfortunately, everything gets covered in dog hair and the sweeper is run everyday.
What a great idea, too bad by BF wouldn't go for that. LOL

What is it with men and going to the doctors in the first place? I don't understand it, why would they want to live with pain or discomfort when they can go to the dr's and find out what's wrong and take care of it.

The only thing I can come up with is they rather complain all the time to us and get out of doing things around the house. But then they have to listen to us complain to them that they need to go to the doctors and nothing is getting done around the house.

I feel it's a loose loose situation for them... life would be so much better if they would just get off there butts and GO TO THE DOCTORS!!!
