'cause I miss our Toni, and want another! Allergic to cats, and not keen on their 'attitudes.'

Looking into getting a pup; may or may not work out.

P.S. not necessarily 'expensive,' but for emergencies; innoculations necessary. And not too demaning, tho walks are necessary; good for US!!!

She died 10+ years ago.

an older dog.

Just to help and get a dog fix without gaving to take full responsibility until you are ready for one at home? If ever?

I'm a cat person, adopted my dog Milo 6 years ago.
I love him, but he needs walks and attention, and sometimes I'm not in the mood.

It's good he gets me out for a walk.
Many shelters have programs where you walk the dogs. Maybe you could do that. And you could foster a dog which would let you have one short term til you decide you want one. It's a big commitment.

Outside at midnight or 3 in the morning when it starts whinning? How about the cleanup when it has diarrhea or barfs all over,? Vet bills?

I keep thinking about getting another one but conclude I'm not able to care for one the way it should be.

With your coming treatments, you need a warm dog beside you.
However, you should make it a small dog.
Re-read the chances of a good prognosis for you. You and a young small dog (they live longer) can grow old together and trust me a small dog is easier for an older person to pick up than a large one. (Think vet visits.)
A small dog does not eat as much -
The poop is also smaller and easier to pick up-
You can bathe them in the kitchen sink - better for an old back as you age.
Can not find your other post now, but I had marked two for you to re-read -Mustellus and Callie 1979.
Some time after Tues. the 3rd. I would like to read what you named your dog! Prayers and well wishes from me and the two Yorkies beside me.

a small dog does not take up as much room when it takes over your bed and sleeps sideways in the middle.
I was 72 when I rescued the Yorkie half bro and sis, he was twelve wks. old and she 15 wks.
