Justme 9 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 I'm a 21 year old male who just got his own apartment and has a good paying job. I'm very mature and responsible for my age. Lately, I've been a little lonely and decided I needed someone in my life for me to love. Well, I found him. I met him while doing some volunteer work at the local shelter. He is a very cute golden retriever who is playful and well behaved but he is 12 years old and I'm afraid he is pretty old. I'm afraid if I adopt him he won't have a very long life with me and I will be heartbroken. What should I do? I love him so much, and have grown very fond of him but since he is 12, should I pursue things with him or keep looking? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grette 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 The shorter time together can wear on the heart, but the memories and knowing you made his last few years ones with love might be a little bit of a comfort for you when it's time to say goodbye. I've had to let 4 different animals go over the last year due to age related illness, and it's tough, but the memories I have are priceless. I don't regret the pain of missing them because it comes from love. It isn't easy, but I believe it is worth it. However this turns out, I'm glad that you two have met each other and at least have that together. Good luck 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarra 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 I wouldn't start my first dog experience with a dog that will die in a short matter of time. Let a veteran dog owner adopt that dog. Get a dog young like you so you can grow up together, if you're lucky you'll have him till your 30's. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ragingducks 9 Report post Posted July 5, 2017 You start with "I LOVE HIM SO MUCH" but then ask if you should take it. It's not love if you're asking that question. Either that or you're incredibly selfish. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
