Living in an apartment and having an affinity for big dogs, I choose to not have a pet at this time.
Fortunately, I do have an outlet for my affection for dogs. A friend of mine works nights and owns a border collie. I often go over and take the dog for a walk while my friend is working one of his twelve hour shifts, play a few games with him, make sure he has fresh food,etc. It's good for the dog, good for me, and helps my friend feel less anxious about being away from the house for such a long period several nights a week. |
