I have a bad back injury and was actually trying to recover from it when I got Gracie. Can't your dog jump up on the furniture and give you her ball? I don't know what I would have done if Gracie couldn't play fetch when I was really bad off. It kept her exercised when I was unable to take her out.
When I was finally able to walk somewhat I took her on walks even though I would have rather have stayed home. It forced me to do the things that I would not have done otherwise.
You have a young energetic dog and she needs you. Drugging her is not right. You can find ways of dealing with this without using drugs. Our pets are a responsibility that we willingly take on for better or worse. |
