Thanks for your support. The other thread became nothing short of a circus. I've received all sorts of negative comments and emails, pretty much everything short of death threats!
Anyway, my wife is only a small part of this issue. She's never said anything and wouldn't. It's not like she's driving this or told me I had to get rid of the boys and I'm afraid many people have just assumed that was the case. A good husband knows when something is wrong though and I know she just isn't happy with inside dogs. She should've leveled with me before instead of thinking she'd adjust but, she didn't. What am I supposed to do now? If I listen to all of the crazy's emailing me, I should divorce my wife in favor of the dogs or quit my job to be able to spend more time with them. My work schedule and the amount of time I get to spend with the boys is the main thing driving this and I just want to make sure that's clear to everyone. It's not fair to the boys to have to leave them crated 12 hours a day. That no way for them to live and it would be selfish of me to keep them like that. I want better for them.
I really appreciate the positive comments from those that understand and feel for me. Thanks again.
