I can understand taking him or her with you to go shopping on saturdays but,

What about all the long lonely hours during the week, remember this is gonna be a puppy not an adult dog. And what about potty training? How are you gonna train a dog if your gone 55 hrs a week?

I think getting a puppy now would put alot of stress on you and girlfriend and dog. Maybe wait until your settled in your new home and then get a dog. You could try and find one thats 6 months or older and already potty trained.

Thats and idea.
