Hello everyone. I am new here and I hope you will not judge me. I have a question and I'd like to get some other people's opinions, please. I am looking to buy a Maltalier puppy. They are not cheap and they are charging 2600 dollars a puppy. I currently have one who is 11 almost 12 but sadly she is on medication for her heart as she has problems and is coughing/gagging occasionally and she may only have a year max to live. It kills me knowing I may lose my friend soon but knowing I got another puppy to look forward to I am just a wreck of emotions right now. It is good to know I am getting a new friend but also sucks I am losing one. Anyway, I have a problem with weed. I do like to smoke weed quite a bit, but I am happy to quit cold turkey if that has any impact on my dog. I never smoked around my current dog as I have quite the big house and I am always outside and she is on the other side of the house. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to spend a lot of money on this breed and to know that I in some way shaved years of its life due to my smoking. I don't know why but this breed is the only breed that has helped me get a part-time job and bring some sort of normality back into my life. I am treating myself better by not eating as much crap and the dog keeps me happy. I know I may sound like I am so emotionally dependant on a dog but I really just love this breed. Thank you for reading. If I need to quit weed so be it I will.
