Having a young puppy will provide companionship, however soon your daughter will have to divide her time with school, work, friends, and etc. Pets require a lot of attention and soon she'll feel torn and stressed out.
Many people purchase a dog for companionship when they come home, but they don't realize that when they are away, the pet is very lonely. |
I wouldn't generalize students and young people to that extent. I am a sophomore in college, and I know that I spend more time with my babies now, than I will once I get a full-time job, because of the way my time is distributed. I really see nothing wrong with moving from place to place...I'm pretty sure older people do that also.
A good doggy mom will be a good doggy mom whether she's a student, or retired! Its all a matter of making your baby your priority. There will always be other obligations, but someone who is dedicated and mature enough will always find a way to make things work, and keep their baby happy.
I could go into detail about how great of a life Wobie and Woda have, even though I'm a student, but this isn't my thread...
