My 2.5 year old grandson came to live with me and my 10 year old dog just before his first Birthday. I recently had to have my beloved dog put to sleep as he had advanced heart disease that developed into heart failure.
I'm absolutely lost without my dog. I'm thinking of getting a puppy but it was so long ago that my dog was a puppy I can't really remember too much.
Is it the worst idea I've ever had? I'm not currently working, little one is at nursery part time and our home is fairly sizeable plus we have a decent puppy/dog proof garden.
I'm planning on using baby gates to give puppy and toddler their own space plus large puppy crate for added privacy.
Please tell me I'm not completely bonkers, apart from toddler I live by myself and I'm lonely, we live a really outdoorsy life I feel we have a lot to offer a dog.
Any experiences would be hugely welcome, thank you
