[quote=Anonymous]I am a single parent with two teenagers and an elderly dog who I suspect won't live much longer. For the past couple years, my kids have been campaigning for a puppy. I've been pretty clear that we won't get a puppy while our current dog is alive, as I think it would overwhelm him, but I'm open to the idea for after. I'd love to have a companion when my kids go off to college. But we have days, especially during the fall sports seasons, where everyone is out of the house for long periods of time. Not every day, as I sometimes work from home, but a few days a week the last person leaves around 7:15, and the first person to get home arrives close to 6. If we got a puppy at the end of the school year, we'd have a few months before this came up, and by then he'd be old enough for daycare. We could also do a dog walker. But is that fair to a young dog? Are there certain breeds that would do better with this than others? [/quote]
