I read a bumper sticker a few months ago as follows: A Puppy is non an impulse purchase; it is a fifteen year commitment.
It struck me as pithy and accurate. But if so, maybe someone over 70 years old should decline to get a puppy.

You're wise.I read a bumper sticker a few months ago as follows: A Puppy is non an impulse purchase; it is a fifteen year commitment.

Get an older dog. They appreciate you so much more. It's hard for a sugar face to get that forever home. They are likely well trained and less likely to chew shoes.
If you want a puppy get one. Hell, you may out live a pup still at this point. Just make sure you have arrangements to have puppy go to someone who will give it love and care for it in case you can't.I read a bumper sticker a few months ago as follows: A Puppy is non an impulse purchase; it is a fifteen year commitment.

No! Get a puppy!
She'll make your life much more worth living!

Any new pet will likely outlive Me and I get too attached. I can't be certain they will be looked after the way I think they should be when I'm gone.
That is not an answer you can generalize. If the 70 year old in question would make a great owner and has people to take over if something happens to them then maybe he should. You do realize that puppy could end up with a real p.o.s. right. At any given time you can walk out the door and get hit by a truck no matter your age If the owner in question is prepared for such eventualties this person is better qualified than most people walking around.I read a bumper sticker a few months ago as follows: A Puppy is non an impulse purchase; it is a fifteen year commitment.

I think it depends…how active and healthy are they? Is there a plan if something were to happen? What breed are they looking at?I read a bumper sticker a few months ago as follows: A Puppy is non an impulse purchase; it is a fifteen year commitment.

I've been thinking the same thing. My old dog might have a year left and I'm 67 years old. How fair is it to get another dog that I will possibly abandon when I die?I read a bumper sticker a few months ago as follows: A Puppy is non an impulse purchase; it is a fifteen year commitment.

I’m 62…but I think it really depends. My aunt is 89, she adopted an older rescue. She has a plan in place if she should pass and having her has really helped my aunt during Covid. I have four dogs between 2 and 6. When the youngest passes I’ll probably be 75. Would I adopt a puppy then? I don’t think so…but a middle aged adult or a senior? Why not, as long as I have a plan for them. The thing I’ve found in doing rescue is dogs are actually incredibly adaptable to new homes, more so then we humans. Older dogs often get overlooked in adoption.I've been thinking the same thing. My old dog might have a year left and I'm 67 years old.

And they are so happy just to have a soft spot on the couch and a daily walkGet an older dog. They appreciate you so much more. It's hard for a sugar face to get that forever home. They are likely well trained and less likely to chew shoes.
That's what older dogs are called. Their muzzle gets gray or white. Sugar face. I didn't make it up.♥ SUGAR FACE♥
