Oh, thank you so much for being encouraging. I want so much to work this out. Can't imagine there being a day I didn't have to get up in the morning to take out the dog. I think having a reason to get up is very important after one is retired. But you are correct, the getting up in the middle of the night, etc. was getting to me. Hearing someone like you and the others who have encouraged me about camping, about my yorkie adjusting to me
have been so helpful.
