German,
I have a business that allows me a lot of time. I have worked myself to a point that I can spend most of my time with my dogs. Its either dogs or golf, I choose dogs. Plus my son and daughter are 17 and 18 so they no longer want dads time, just his money. My wife helps with the dogs and loves the trips to the shows. Now she has her own puppy. But still a dinner out never hurts to smooth things over.
