Your spouse does not like your pet and one has to go, which do you keep?

You have your pet _________ and had it from the time it was weaned or very young. You have a mate whom you have been with eight months or more and things are getting very serious in the relationship and you and to take it up a level. Your spouse does not like your pet ________ and makes it clear either you get rid of __________ or he/she is walking. What do you do? Who stays and who goes? Would the fact of the pet being pedigree, the amount of money you spent to get it or if it was free, or came from the pound make any difference on how you choose?
