I have not had my own since my 15 year old lab mix died two years ago, but I have been blessed to borrow other people's dogs every now and then. I took care my brother's dog for several months while he was out of the country, and I'm still getting used to not having him around since he went back home last month. I'm 32 and because of CFS I spend most of my time at home, so even though Kirby's high energy was a challenge he was good company and made me laugh!annienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962097063569112990.post-62752123712536117512009-07-21T11:53:54.805-05:002009-07-21T11:53:54.805-05:00Aw so cute!

I have always had cats, since I was 12, and they do often play fetch, greet you at the door etc. I have a dog and a cat now, and I can't live without them. There is something great about having other living beings in the house with you. It definitely takes away loneliness :)mlmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769390702164302344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962097063569112990.post-47182705426733022942009-07-21T09:12:09.222-05:002009-07-21T09:12:09.222-05:00Oh I know exactly what you mean.

The 14yr old doesn't need a lot of exercise so it's worked really well with the ME. THe new dog (a 1year old) need more exercise. So far friends come and take her on long walks as I can only do short one block type walks.<br /><br />I took your advice to heart and am home on a "sick day". That and the fact that I slept in past the start of class. Hope you're doing OK.upnorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283010424792189579noreply@blogger.com
