Yeah, I want a garage and space to work and store my cars and motorcycles, space for my tools. I want yard space for my dogs. Shit, my dream home is a garage with a house. If I didn't have the hobbies I do a city apartment would be cool. But then I remembering hearing the neighbors through the walls, or partiers through the windows outside.
I'm lucky enough to be in a house very near a walkable urban area in my city, I've got the best of both worlds. I'd regularly walk my dogs through on a 3 mile loop; we became regulars at a couple bars and one of the pet stores... until my girl became crippled in the hind legs. Maybe we'll go again when she gets more comfortable with her wheel chair.
Given the choice, I want space.
This is painful to read. Mine is turning 9 years old, which is getting up there for her breed. This past year she’s been noticeably slowing down after about three miles - this past week I tried a longer walk and she just gave up after 3.4 miles …… we didn’t even get to the pet store
Edit: and the pet store no longer carries “Frosty Paws” so I don’t know what we’re going to do this summer
I've made frozen treats for my dogs that is just peanut butter and apple sauce mixed and frozen. Sometimes I'd add blueberries and it was funny to watch my girl eat them because she's toothless and they'd pop out of her mouth when she'd try to chew them.
If she starts having a hard time getting up, I got a Help 'em Up harness for my girl and it's great.
We just got a wheelchair that's gonna take some getting used to.
My girl is 12 and lost the ability to walk last fall. My boy is 15 but acts 5.
