Pets & older folks

There has been much talk & studies about how pets can improve senior citizen's life. Usually these claims are coupled with very sweet & success stories of how some pets makes the best company for the old fragile during their last days.

In the past I would have agree without a second thought, but not now..... hmmm.. See I've just taken a new pet. A young puppy of 4 months & toilet training Snowy is driving me pretty nuts. She pees & poos everywhere , so I've no choice but to lock her up in the cage. She looks so cute & sad in the cage:( Poor thing. So far she has pee on the sofa, the floor, the balcony, well practically everywhere! I hope this phase will end soon.
