Might be getting a rescue dog to take care of. Not for sure though. Other people are deciding.

15. I've always found that, despite the trouble, I get far more from rescue dogs

than they get from me. They seem to know they've been rescued, or at least they remember that life used to be bad, and now there's this good big person that takes care of them and life is good.

Karma will repay you, if you are able to save one more. I'm 58 with two rescue dogs. I work full time and have a small house, so I don't think I can take in another rescue at this time. It would alter the symbiotic relationship we have going here. Plus the expense. BUT I hope to semi-retire one day and get more rescues, and I will probably focus on the older ones. That would bring me such joy. Plus, I will be older, they will be older. A good match, I figure.

As it is, with my two frisky medium sized dogs, they've knocked me down a couple of times, or pulled too strongly on the leash. I'm in good health and physically fit, but I can see that I can't handle as frisky and strong a dog as I used to.

Post a pic, if you get the Beagle. Beagles are so cute. They can roam and be pretty frisky when they're young, but at 12, he's settled in, and has a few good years left.
