As long as the dog (what is his name?) is not hurting you, why not just keep him for Heidi? He may or may not warm up to you but does that really matter? At the same time if you two can't find more time to spend with him maybe you should rehome him. Four to five hours a day with a puppy is not long enough. On top of that you have Chris and Heidi time which is fine (I'm all for strong relationships) but that takes more time away from him. I am gone for maybe 10 hours a week and when I leave my Yorkie is devastated. They need a lot of attention.

well the 4 to 5 hours a day will never increase, because we both work full time jobs....and, like any human, we need sleep. So what can we do?? We'd have to actually sacrifice a job to increase that time...and by doing that, we couldnt' afford anything anymore.
