Oh, wow, Mark, what a cute puppy! I can tell you that it is a good thing that you did the 180 on the pup, because I'd find it horribly difficult to stand firm with such a cute little dog like that. Especially with the huge grins there on your even cuter, even more adorable children!
6 years ago my wife and I were in a similar situation that we are in now. 2 days before Christmas she called me from the pet store and told me she had found a dog that she fell in love with (we never saw eye to eye on bringing a dog into the house.) For the first time I realized that I didn't have any logical reason for not getting a puppy and so agreed she should bring him home.
That single 180 turned everything around and we began working on us. As I have since learned, real change takes real work - something neither of us understood (obviously). I remain hopeful that we will still have the opportunity to fix things the right way.
Cute kids Mark!!

A few years back, both of my friend's daughters were in school. She was feeling lonely with both of them being in school. She told her husband that she either wanted a new puppy or to have a baby to fill her time....They got the cutest miniature dachshund named Sugar that you ever saw! LOL I dont' know what she will do in a couple of years. One is at college now and one will be in a couple of years!
