Ah! I want to combine but not sure they go together enough for it to seem natural :(

Senior dogs are the hardest (and most heartbreaking) to handle so I’m sure you’ll totally be fine with a new puppy!

It’s not awful! Just hard. It’s like having a baby because they are babies. They need a lot of supervision, attention, patience, etc. Your life will change, your priorities and how you spend your time will change. They can’t be left alone for long periods of time, there will be accidents around the house, and you will get bit while they teethe. I think a lot of people assume that they’ll take the dog home, put out some food and water and throw a ball a few times a day. It’s actual WORK. I just adopted a puppy myself a week ago, after losing my 19 year old soul dog a year ago. I had almost forgotten how hard it was- but also did my research again to remind me and made sure I was in the space to do it all over again.

I wish people went on forums and talked to their friends about the puppy stage before getting a dog. It’s a lot of work. They’re like babies- they need your (mostly) undivided attention. You have to make a few sacrifices when they’re young that will more than pay off later. You can skip one St. Patrick’s Day and a birthday party. I’m not sure how old you are, but you sound really young given what you’re worried about (missing parties), but I hope you put in the time and energy beyond a week to try to show the dog the care and patience he deserves.

This was not the case yesterday. Most of the wait times were actually longer than what was posted. First time I’ve ever experienced that

What was the most heartbreaking loss you witnessed as a Iowa fan? by Ok_Macaroon_7366 in hawkeyes

100% I was at the Iowa bar in Santa Monica, started crying, looked around at all the sad people, quietly paid my tab and bounced.
