When to get a "replacement" ?

[halfpenny43]

My wife has had a Springer since he was a puppy. He's now nearly 15 and health issues and old age are starting to become prevalent.

She is dreading "the moment" but would like another dog.

The question is she is not sure if she should get a puppy now - or wait for a bit.
The good thing she feels is that a puppy may give the old fella a bit of a lease of new life

Any thoughts ?

Thanks

Thanks all for the advice - something to think about for sure and not rush into.

We'll wait for now - at least until Spring and then see what happens

Thanks again
