I saw a post on Facebook the other day where a concerned daughter was asking if her parents that are in their 70’s could handle bringing a puppy into their home.
To do it correctly, HAVING A PUPPY IS HARD!
But it is harder if you don’t!
If you are in your 70’s and you think you can handle having an infant, by all means get a puppy. But if you don’t think you could handle an infant, don’t get a puppy because it’s really hard.
There are thousands of 2-3 year old dogs begging to be adopted that are likely already potty trained and would be wonderful companions for a long time. Just like a puppy, training will be necessary but your life will be manageable.
