Next door neighbor

only suggest it if you are absolutely willing to take the dog if she is unable to care for it.

As for “suggesting she get a dog” I think she’s perfectly capable of thinking of that idea herself, I can’t see how you suggesting it would be a help other than removing a large stumbling block for elderly people and getting a dog…where does doggie go in illness and death? But for god sake she should NOT get a young dog.

I’m gearing up to adopt cats and I’m looking at cats that are a minimum of five years old and I would prefer ones in the 8 to 10 year old range because of my age.

I agree with you totally. I would be fine with a dog because SO would probably take it to work most days. And yeah, I can’t imagine her training a puppy at this point so she would need one that already had manners. If I get into this so deep that I’m suggesting she get another dog I would suggest one that's at least an adult if not an old adult.

Neighbor sent a very sweet thank you note for the card and donation. And included a couple of pictures of Max in his younger days. He was quite the handsome fellow. And definitely not a Westy as I had guessed. In his old age his coloring had faded to a light gray that made him look like he had once probably been all white, but that's obviously not the case.

Max is a very cute smush face dog, probably a Shih Tzu.
