[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 74 year old father and 68 year old mother want to get a puppy. They’re lonely and would like the companionship. However, I’m worried whether a puppy, as opposed to an older dog, is a good idea given their ages. If the puppy lives 15 years, my dad will be 90! Has anyone been in a similar situation and know some of the pluses and minuses? My parents don’t want to go to the shelter because they have a very specific breed in mind, and given that breed, it would be hard to find an older dog.[/quote] I get your concern but ultimately it is their decision. Unless they are living with you should treat them as capable adults. In 15 years they are going to be older anyway. How would you feel if your parents told you not to go to grad school, get married, have another kid. It is really none of your business.[/quote]
