Completely understand.

If my parents weren't retired and didn't live close so that they can go by to let the puppy out mid-day each day, I'm not sure that I could've handled a puppy.

I'm sure as she gets older (and she gets a dog door) she'll be fine. But with her being so young, it really is helpful that my parents can take time with her so she's not alone alllllll day long.

So I can definitely see putting it off until you have time to give hem that they need.
