My old dog died ten years ago but it wasn't until this year that I felt like I could provide a home for another dog. I've been looking for an older dog too, but it has been really hard. So far no luck. In the meantime the kids downstairs have acquired a puppy so I think another dog in the house might be too much. The puppy downstairs is cute and adorable, but an object lesson in why older dogs are better. Good luck and happy trails with Mike, sounds like you met your match there! PS, I had a dog once who didn't do cars (carsick), then I had to find a new home for him (he had a thing for porcupines, I couldn't deal with it anymore) and the man who took him was about to drive across the country looking for work. He took that dog with him in a tiny sports car and years later he returned with the dog, now thoroughly reformed (on both fronts). You can teach an old dog new tricks if you've a mind to.
