It's only been two days without family dogs, compared to my entire life with them. Already, I'm noticing dog-related habits of mine that are unnecessary, such as closing gates behind me and driving up the driveway slowly in case there's a dog on it.
There is also a lot of dog-related apparel (including bed, blankets and jerseys) that can be donated to charity as there's no longer any use for them.
There's a hole in my heart that needs filling. Exercising dogs on weekends most likely isn't going to be enough. I'm going to keep looking for jobs (particularly animal-related) so that I can afford my own place and a couple of dogs to keep me company.
