Humane society blues

I just got back from the humane society in Manitowoc Wisconsin and my wife is wanting this black lab puppy she saw there. Granted the puppy is cute but you know things are tight right now with the car payment and child support. I would love to give my wife everything she wants but hey we're just stretched a little too thin for about for years. Feeding a family of four on fifty bucks a week isn't exactly easy. My real children come before furry adopted ones. Sorry.
