[quote=Anonymous] Current empty nester (1 out of college, 2 in college). Unless you get an older dog from a shelter/rescue, who will not be around in 4 years, do not get a dog now. You will be doing college drop-offs and pickups, not to mention family weekend, for a while. And, you and spouse may enjoy this newfound freedom to a) travel with spouse when they travel somewhere interesting for work (x2 if you both work), b) ha e spontaneous evenings out after work for a concert, play, event at a museum, evening out with friends after work, c) weekend travel to ANYWHERE, to do ANYTHING, at ANY TIME and d) so much more random stuff All of the above and more are difficult if you have a dog at home that needs to fed, walked and cared for. I know every fall there are parents here mourning their empty nest/kids off to college, but I am telling you, as much as I love and miss our kids, it is awesome[/quote]
