Both next door neighbors have solo dogs. One neighbor when asked if their old dog wanted to come over and play with my dogs they said they were too old and wouldn't have fun. Their dog is not ancient. The other neighbors have a sweet dog who looks through small gaps in the fence. The guy brought her over once to play. She is young and has a lot of energy. Both dogs don't get walks. There is a type of puppy mill down the street...dogs in cages in the garage with puppies. I have called animal services on them once. Nothing changed. I found a sweet German sheppard a week ago. She stayed in the house the day and night...had so much energy and was so playful. At night she didn't sleep. Found her owners who live nearby. They are immigrants with many fancy cars outside their house. I gave them a cheerful card asking if the dog could sometimes come over to play. No response.
I really think dogs do better in pairs. Of course they do better getting daily walks.
Seeing her across the fence reminds me of past deep regrets...seeing her boredom sucks. Dogs need interaction and play...they need to explore....they need to have stimulation.
This is just like the horses I see standing alone. They really rock me to the core seeing them ALONE in all seasons.
I miss the dog I helped. I don't see her at that house. I wish I could adopt another dog...or cat....but I know I must go soon. It really sucks. I wanted to be a helper of animals for decades. But I know I can't.
ALSO: In rereading this it's clear though I have known this already...but in reading this I see again that it is essential for HUMANS to interact, play, explore and have stimulation. I get NONE of this.
