Myself, my sister and our children are dog rescuers; we tend to keep them. When my niece moved from California to Texas five years ago, she took 3 abandoned dogs and one abandoned cat. In Texas she ended up taking in another because her son's wife was pregnant and couldn't handle her old dog.
Then she decided the cat was lonely. So she adopted a foster cat, but he came with a buddy foster. Soon she had seven animals in this brand new house of hers. Not a problem for her. She raised four kids on her own.
They were all senior dogs and have since passed. One of the cats has passed also. I keep teasing her about getting another dog. But she dogsits another daughter's Grand Pyrenees, so she's still has her hands full.
Now she has three grandkids nearby as her children chose to move near their mom. I don't know how she does it all.
The most I've ever had at one time was two dogs and a cat. But I love the pup I have now. Jenga will be my last. It hurts to even think that, but at 81, there's no stopping Father Time.
My mom is in her 70s and her dog Kaia just passed away a couple of months ago. She had her for long time, since she was a puppy. I’m not sure if she’s going to get another dog or not. But I kind of worry a little bit as Kaia was her constant companion after my dad died a few years back.
I have had dogs for the 50 years I've lived in this house because my son loved dogs. I got this girl when I was 77 because my doctor said I was going to live to be a 100. I figure we're ok.
Jenga was already 2 when I adopted her. For sure, your mom should not get a puppy. They are too much work.

Thanks for letting me share, Todd.
Dogs are wonderful.
