[quote=Anonymous]We adopted a senior pitty mix at age 9, thinking we’d give him a good home for the couple of years he was alive. He lived to be 16! He was very easy to care for until age 14 when he really started having mobility issues. So Much extra time, care, money. When it was clearly time to say bye we bawled our eyes out and said never again. Then came the pandemic and boredom and kids asking for another dog. We said ok. We got a puppy and OMG. Those first few months… it’s a Golden and was so cute but we weren’t (aren’t) prepared for the energy level. We read about it sure but I guess we didn’t fully process. It was certainly easier caring for an adult dog until he reached his very senior years (and for his size the vet said he should live to maybe 11 or 12). Then it was a nightmare. But starting with a puppy and having a very energetic adult dog is no fun either. Next time, no dog for real.[/quote]
