[quote=Anonymous]We have had dogs throughout our kids lives - they are now 17 and 19. First dog was about 4 years old when our oldest was born and was with us for another 6 years before cancer. We adopted another dog before our first dog died and she's still with us. She's going on 12. Adopted another dog during COVID who turned 5 in March. IDK. For those that say dogs are a ton of work, sure. There's walking and feeding and picking up after them. But, it's not the end of the world from a time commitment standpoint. It's a nice way to get me out of the house as well to walk them. We are lucky for boarding since my M-in-Law lives close by and will watch them for us when we are out of town or if that doesn't work, our oldest works PT at a boarding kennel where they will stay. I really think each situation is unique and there isn't a magical "age" for getting a pet. [/quote]
