[quote=Anonymous]I'd wait. I have a 13 year old dog who is at the end of his life. We both WOH - and though DH only works 2 mi from home - I work 60 mins away. We're gone from the home from 9 AM - 6 PM most days including kids activities. (Twins are almost 7) This is ok for my old dog - he's used to it and sleeps 22 hours a day. I don't think this is ok for a puppy or younger dog. I think they need more exercise and interaction. We will probably wait until the kids are 13 or older to get another dog after our dog passes. We just aren't home enough and the kids aren't old enough to reliably assist with the dog's care. And if I'm honest about it, while I love my dog so, so much - I'm looking forward to a time being able to leave home for more than 12 hours without arranging care. And, I'm pretty sure we won't find a dog better than ours anytime soon.[/quote]
