Aimee, that sounds like a workable solution especially if there is only 1 child and the parents.
I also try not to place puppies with elderly people. I can hear the gasps already but let me 'splain. I am almost 68 and hubby is 70. I would not sell me one. WHY? Well, balance is not as good and a Yorkie or any animal running around under foot can cause a very severe fall. Also, vision might be impaired with tunnel vision and cataracts. But, the biggie is when the dog is 15 I will be 82. Both the dog and I will need to be taken to the doctors for conditions related to our ages and taken care of at the same time. Who is gonna haul us around? Lordy, I don't want to sound harsh, but I do have to face reality and there is much to consider when I place a puppy. |
