I could never give up a pet I’ve become attached to, and me becoming attached to them happens immediately. They become part of the family and I feel responsible for their happiness and wellbeing. Making an innocent pet feel abandoned or unloved would eat at me too much.
Now if it was truly a danger to my child it would obviously be a different story, but I feel like I’d either recognize that before I brought it home or be able to train them out of that quickly. |

Your wife is fickle as ****, as most women are. Make her live with the decision to bring the puppy into your home. She can buy a new nightgown.
Who’s to say she won’t have second thoughts all over again if you were to ditch the puppy? She already made one decision, only to second guess herself. Now you get to call the shots. |

You're not taking any long trips, at least not overseas.
You can take the dog with you in the car for vacations, it is very possible to do this and have a lot of fun. If overseas vacations or the money to the board the dog are more valuable to you than the dog, make that choice. |

When I was a kid we'd visit our grandparents every summer.
Dog came with us. He loved road trips. 8 hrs in the car, TX-MO, both ways. He loved it. He loved our grandparents. |

I will say your wife is ****ing stupid.
We were all school age kids when we got our first dog. 3 kids and a dog was probably a lot for mom and dad, looking back. But mom was stay-at-home. A newborn kid and dog ![]() Disasters will strike. |
