I still sometimes feel this way. I am 46 years old and my kids are off on their own and I had planned to do many things...but, because of Miss Mini's high maintenance issues, I can't take her everywhere I go, I can't go to Vegas 8 weeks out of the year anymore. I have to settle for long weekend vacations without hubby...(
) cuz one of us has to stay with her. We can't fly anywhere so when we do visit family in Florida (not 2ce a year anymore) we have to drive. Sometimes after work everyone wants to head to the Falls for Happy Hour or the Casino and I first have to go home and take care of my pups...but, I wouldn't have it any other way!!!! You learn to adjust.
If I have any advice I would say to make sure you have atleast 2 family members or friends that your pup visits regularly and would not mind staying with for a few days...I have my vet and my tenant who adore Miss Mini and Mia and neither would mind staying with them for a few days.
Don't worry and don't think ahead just enjoy it now and love your pupppy!
