One thing is for sure... everything changes!
I hear you. The dogs from next door visit us every day here. I adore dogs. (all animals actually) and really miss having them around.
But, right now, pets are like babies. Give them to me to enjoy for a bit and then take them home please. It's the first time in forever I haven't been a responsible cat or dog mom.
One day I'll have cats, dogs, ducks, chickens and a horse. 👍 :D
Until then I'll stop and pet them and keep things simple ❤️
