Summary: 


I live in a house with three Doberman's (my roommate's), two turtles, some
fish, my dog and my new puppy.

I don't think you are weird at all. However, the fact that two of your
roommates have moved out "because of the dogs", and the fact that you didn't
have a supportive family when you had dogs earlier suggests to me that, like
my roommate's Dobermans, your dogs are not "roommate-friendly", in the 
following sense: Are they allowed on the furniture? Do they chew up your
roommates's furniture? Are they allowed to jump up on people? 

I am not trying to be accusatory. It is simply that a lot of times, the owner
of a dog fails to see when the dog's behavior is obnoxious to other people.
Noticing this and training your dog to be more acceptable usually helps
keep roommates happy.

If you aren't guilty of any of the above offenses, then the other people
are weird, not you.
