I didn't read the whole thread as I knew it would spiral into admonitions etc.
It's not a good reason to drug your dog. Sorry. Just don't do it again.
When I am beat I just lie on the sofa and Maggie eventually brings me her toy and I can throw it. I don't really have to move. Or, I will sit on the floor (use lots of pillows to get yourself comfy.)
Try to find someone who can come over and visit and play for those times when you are really down or sick. You never know when you will really need the help.
I think these babies help keep some of us young. There have been many a walk I've taken for her when I really wouldn't have without her. At least one walk a day whether I like it or not. (except for really rainy or snowy nasty days--Maggie won't go out in the rain anyway!) |
