| Advice on a new puppy Hi My precious baby Sorscha is turning 16 this coming June 1st. Aside from slight vision and hearing loss and a little arthritis...she is healthy and still full of spunk. She is my best friend and has been with me since I picked her up at 12 weeks old. I work in a family business and am even fortunate enough to take her to work with me every day. Lately, I have been considering a new yorkie puppy, a little boy. She has always been an only child & I am wondering if anyone has any insight or advice on how a new puppy might affect (help or hinder) Sorscha? She has always loved other yorkie friends and spends lots of time with my patents schnauzers. I'm struggling with figuring out if a new baby will be a good or bad decision for us. If anyone has had a similar situation I would greatly appreciate the input. Thanks! |

| How wonderful to have a healthy, happy 16 year old. If she is moderately active and enjoys doggy company, then she might do well with a puppy. Best wishes in making your decision.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Very often puppies give old timers a renewed enthusiasm or leash on life. If she is really social with other animals I'm pretty sure she will do fine with the wee one. Just be prepared as a senior's health can change rapidly, and god forfend that this would happen, but if so, will you be able to cope with increased care time for the senior, while you deal with a puppy's antics and training needs?
