I am due to pick up my puppy this weekend but now I don't know if I should do it or not. The problem is that my husband is really not a dog person, however he agreed to buying the puppy just to make me happy. The problem now is that last week we got into a very bad argument and even discussed the possibility of a divorce (not related to the dog). Things are little by little getting better between us but we still have to go to marriage counseling in order to try to make our marriage work. My concern now is that since we are having so many problems and I don't even know if things will really be resolved, should I proceed with getting the puppy? I am afraid that having the puppy home will just increase the stress level in our home and he will have no patience with the dog. I really want to fix my marriage and will hate to add any extra stress to our already weak relationship.
On the other hand, I feel so guilty about not getting the puppy. I am sure that the breeder will understand my situation and the puppy will probably end up going to a better home or staying with the breeder.
Please let me know your opinion. Should I go ahead with getting the puppy or should I wait until things get better at home and get another puppy later on?
This will be my first dog - I am sure some of you have a lot of experience on being a dog owner and really understand the demands of having a dog.
Thank you for any feedback.
