    Ok, I need honest opinions…i’m 58, my kids are grown and gone. We had a wonderful boxer for 13 years ( long life, well cared for). She passed away 3 years ago. Even tho we have three other dogs, I miss my boxer so much. We have 4 acres to play on, and I don’t work outside our home. I really want another boxer, probably an older rescue. I have rheumatoid arthritis, it’s hard to get around.Am I too old to deal with playfulness of a boxer? Be brutally honest, I don’t want to bring another into our home unless she/he will thrive.
