The Answer To Whether I’m Too Old To Get Another Dog

The Author Wasted No Time In Solving His Dilemma

A couple of months ago I wrote an article questioning whether getting a dog at this point in my life is a good idea. While my wife and I strongly missed the companionship and unconditional love we got from our pets, our age, health status, and lifestyle were definitely considerations. We were free to travel without having to find a sitter, we didn’t have to rush home after dinner and a show to the poor pup to let him out of his crate. And we didn’t have expensive vet bills!

I closed the article with the question of whether the dog we lost 6 months before that would be our last dog. That question — defining the problem — was the first step.
