He asked you to quit and you kept going and going. It's like child asking PLEASEEE PLEEEEASE! over a candy bar in the grocery store aisle, except you are a grown adult who's not getting her way! and this is a please can we spend almost $1500 up front and maybe more after that? PLEASE!
Why can't you give the guy a break?
Let him warm up to the idea instead of pushing and pushing and driving him so crazy that you hope- eventually he'll say yes and sooner than later. You know when you do that, the minute something happens he'll be saying "SEE I TOLD YOU NOT TO GET THE PUPPY"
What if the dog gets really sick? What if he needs extra care? What if he ends up being a special needs dog? Have you thought about how you are going to care for all that, pay for all that, and what about your other dogs...?
It's an expensive long term life commitment and a decision you should make together! but don't listen to me... You sound pretty determined to drive your husband's opinion on the issue to the ground. Not to mention how disrespectful it is to him as your husband.
I'm not saying not to get a dog, but I am saying that you should stop pushing and let him come around when he's ready!
