So sorry to hear about your baby, I also am a dog lover, but I know dogs LOVE walks or at least big yards, since I can't provide either cats are my kids now. I don't regret much falling apart day by day, but I do miss my menagerie of pets that I used to enjoy, dogs, horses, birds, fish, rats, bunnies, lizards, turtles and of course cats, but since I get to keep the cats for now I won't complain too much. But what I wouldn't give to go for a nice gallop and take a few jumps again one day.
