[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a plan for who will take care of this dog should you get sick and die? Late 50s is too old imo unless you are getting a big dog that won’t live 10 years. If you are getting a small dog who could live 18 years, very selfish. Puppies are like infants. They need to go outside every hour while being trained, and they don’t sleep through the night. [/quote] Wrong. Totally wrong. The dog will be aging and dying when they hit their 70s. Until then it's the perfect time for empty nesters. My late 70s dad has 2 dogs who outlived his wife, my mom. Walking and taking care of his dogs have been crucial for him to avoid loneliness and give him a reason to wake up every day.[/quote] My MIL died unexpectedly in her 60s and literally half a dozen people offered to take her dog. You can have backup plans and it will be okay.[/quote]
