[QUOTE="Malika, post: 472840, member: 11227"] Thanks for all the good advice. I am aware that I will do all the looking after and am not thinking the dog will teach J "responsibility", although it will have the good effect of teaching him to moderate his behaviour somewhat around it. I would also actually like a dog myself as it will be company when I work at home and make me have a longish walk every day, which will be great. One issue is that she has never been spayed. I didn't even know whether dogs have menopauses and now understand that they don't, though fertility declines. Apparently she also has not had her annual vaccinations (including rabies) yet this year, which seems to me a little odd, as we are now October. She does have a micro-chip. The owner tells me she is healthy and has never had health problems. But at eight she is obviously getting older. I didn't want to get a puppy as I don't want to train a dog (J is enough!) Don't know if there are any other obvious questions I should be asking the owner... [/QUOTE]
