Pets can awaken interests you've allowed to laid latent for years. In the peek of those private moments, you look at each other and it appears they know what you are thinking. That is when you might see the fast tail wag, one big loud Roof sound! Then you can say " yeah I got it buddy." While I don't have a pet right now, I'm getting ready for my own home with a range big enough for them to have fun freely, I can run and exercise with them. Perhaps rekindle my out-door-adventures even more. A few years back when riding the bus from work in Glenview, I'd see people walking their dogs... or rather the dogs walking them; thinking calming, now that is a work out! No need to run in the gym after walk like that, lol.
