I want to thank everyone for their input and advice. Everyone is correct and for a variety of reasons I should not get a new puppy dog. So many reasons to not get a new puppy dog, and I am aware of all the reasons, especially the my stupid difficult husband reason. 
Trust me, the stupid difficult husband reason is resolved, without bloodshed-his bloodshed, of course.
But, I have decided, at 75, that life is just too short to live without a dog. So husband and I comprised. I get to get a dog, he gets to stay alive.
. I prefer a female dog, he like males. I put a down payment on a male. He agreed to a “just right“ dog. Not too small, not to big, non shedding, an older puppy. a just right puppy.
The ad said, I swear, the ad said moyen poodle puppies for sale, one male left, lower price. This puppy is perfect, not too large, not to small, JUST RIGHT for your family. Sooo, I showed him the ad. A JUST RIGHT puppy
. We went and looked. The puppy is just right.
Up to 24 inches tall, between 24 to 30 pounds, non shedding, a poodle, large enough to jump in the car, small enough to fit in the car, small enough to live in an apartment, large enough to not trip over. Husband agreed, he’s JUST RIGHT.
He will be 13 weeks on October 15 when we pick him up so not too young, not too old. He has rich auburn hair, not black, not white, auburn. At ten weeks mom is still nursing him,
. When I told the vet this he said weird, yup, I thought it was weird as well. The vet said to tell the breeder to stop letting him nurse. I requested this, but did not demand it. He eats puppy food as well. He is a fat little guy.
I named him Henry. I am ordering all of his stuff on Amazon so I will have it all when I pick him up. We will pick him up when we return from Texas.
My daughter is not well and unable to walk for the last two weeks. She has used all her vacation time, all her sick time, all her savings, and has gone on leave from work. Her three year old came into her room with her guitar, pretend played and sang twinkle twinkle little star, gave her mommy her blanket and her teddy bear.
.
We are deeply worried and returning to Texas October 7. I put half of the money left from the sale of the house in an account for her and half in another account for my oldest son to have whatever was left after we die; a few thousand at best a few hundred at worst. It is not much but more than nothing. I will go down and give her access to that account now for medical bills, cause she needs the money now. And, if needed, she will the get sons share as well.
Then we will return home. Get the puppy, and hope the stupid government does not shut down and stop sending our social security checks, as once again, we will might have no savings.

Prayers for your daughter.
. So, to make a long story short, since I no longer had a dog and only agreed to buy a house so I could have a dog, I sold the house.
