They can get up on the couch with me and I love them cuddling and sleeping with me. I had to put my baby down last year because illness and I really miss having a dog around. They will be loved more than you can imagine. I live with my sister and her dog was attacked and killed by another dog in April this year. She also loves dogs very much. It would be a blessing to have dogs around again. There would be lots of joy and happiness in my home again. I would love to be able to go on walks again with a dog. I miss going on walks with my baby but just not ready for my own yet. Have lost 2 dogs over the last 20 years from illness.
