Kids are easy, though. Just show them where the cereal's at and how to work a doorknob, and they'll figure the rest out.

Seemed selfish for me and our family to keep him not being A ready, and B willing to do what it takes to give the dog a happy home. Nonetheless we have a 2 story home, limited backyard, he’s now at a big 1 story home, 2-3x our back yard, and from what I’m told is already loving life and has adjusted well.

My son definitely shed a few tears but was mature about the situation stating while he was sad, he is happy for the dog and says dogs are too much work. I stilll feel like a dick of a father but figured I’d give the update to those who deserved it.

At the very least, your wife deserves a good spanking. If you want/need some help with that, shoot me a pm.

Wife brought a Boston Terrier home as a surprise last year thinking it was a frenchy. I didn't want a dog because of the upkeep and landmines.

long story short... The kids go before the dog!

How's the little turd doing?

Your family never wanted a dog. They wanted the idea of a dog. You did the right thing.

She wasn't a bad chewer, but I decided she needed a toy. She loved Valentino the Bear, even though he was almost as big as she was. They were almost inseparable.

Then one day, after that relationship had ended and my chihuahua and I had moved on with life, a nice lady was visiting the house and asked why my 4 pound dog had a $1500 chew toy.

My GF at the time was sorta collecting beanie babies. As well as some of her friends. I thought the beanie baby craze was stupid and they were just throwing their money away. Who knew some of them would become that valuable. And make no mistake, I'd of given a puppy a Valentino as a chew toy without a second thought.

The real deal breaker was that it didn’t come with a magic xylophone.
