I have had dogs all throughout my life. I care for them when they are sick. Take them out on long runs or walks depending on age. I will carry a dog to take it to the bathroom because there​ arthritis is bad. I will clean after a dog if it makes an accident. I will clean teeth and brush the dog for good health. Even train if it is required. And sleep on the floor with them when they get lonely. And sit at a park on a cool day just because we can. Explore different parts of the neighborhood for something different in the routine. Or just sit at home and be lazy together and bond with one a other on the floor.
