Honestly, mostly selfish reasons. I had 2 dogs whom we had to put down recently and I missed that wagging tail and companionship. I wanted a hiking partner and my son needs a good running partner, LOL! I also knew that there's no right time to get a dog. I could make excuses to my son and say, "maybe next year" and then next year would come and I'd put it off again. I guess I figured that I'd figure it out as we walked through this puppy journey. And, AH is good with the dog for most part: he set up a place in his office for the dog to lie down and he loves up on him( I catch it out of the corner of my eye when he thinks I'm not looking). I think he's putting on an act to some degree so that I take most of the responsibility for the dog. It's all just part of his show, and I accept that.
