[quote=Anonymous]That’s tough- I would lean toward getting a young adult dog. You won’t have to deal with the extra work of a puppy, you’ll make your kids happy, and you will help an adult dog find a home. An older adult dog will be aging as your kids progress through college. Our family dog wasn’t able to tolerate being boarded as she aged, she lost control of her bladder, needed special food, etc, so it was difficult for my parents to leave her. This was all while they wanted the freedom to drive down to visit their kids in college on a whim, and while they were trying to buy a vacation home. Think realistically about your plans for the coming years, though. If they include lots of travel, it might not be worth it. [/quote]
