[quote=Anonymous]We're in our mid 60s and have dogs, the youngest of which is almost 5.  The biggest issue is this.  If you like to be really active and travel, it's expensive and difficult.  You have to plan far ahead so you can board them - there is no spur of the moment with this and they always have to be up to date on their shots.  Other than that, you have to plan to be around enough when the puppy is being housebroken, which if you work from home is pretty easy.  Regardless, you also have to be aware of coordinating your schedules so that the dog gets let out frequently enough - makes spontaneous get togethers with friends difficult or out of the question.

Our dogs are pretty healthy and don't require grooming, so it's a once a year trip to the vet.  We get dog food delivered on auto delivery and almost never run out - occasionally there are glitches which require a last minute grocery store trip.

One last thing to know from my perspective.  Most people don't want you showing up at their house with your dog and you can't leave it in the car.  [/quote]
