Just in case you are considering this. To me the advantage of an adult versus a puppy would be they are housetrained, not teething, a little calmer, full sized, etc. I own my own home, the only other adult in the house is my 30 year old daughter who is the mom of the mini schnauzer. A pretty large area of the yard is fenced in for our girls. They only eat premium kibble - in the case of my shih tzu Canidae and Acana for the mini schnauzer. In good weather they are take for a walk daily and the living room is more often than not scattered with toys. It seems like a pretty good life to me. And when we go on vacation it is only to places "The Girls" are welcome. |
