After almost 16 years, I lost my Dalmatian Tandy last June and not a day goes by without missing her. I think deep down I felt she was my last dog and still have her ashes and toys. http://vimeo.com/26736177
I'm at an age when I should downsize...the kids are gone and the large lot and house is quite a chore. The condo I really really like has a 'no pet policy' and I don't know if I can handle that restriction...they don't even allow visiting dogs.
Ive had a dog all my life so i know they are a lot of work...especially as puppies and at the end of their life. Perhaps it's not fair to get a dog when aging is slowing you down. I'll probably be in my 80's when today's puppy faces his end of life and I don't know how well I'd be able to emotionally face that then.
Any thoughts?
