Unless you’re deathly allergic to her particular pet, you can score major points if you suck it up and make nice to your woman’s animal. When you first encounter her dog/cat/bird/python, ask questions (name, gender, type, etc) and make an effort to hold, pet, feed or play with it. You don’t have to engage the animal every time you see it, but be sure to give a nice hello or inquire into its wellbeing. If you ignore the creature, or worse yet express your disgust or disdain, she may take it personally, get offended and you lose ground. Go ahead and pet her pussy.
