Of course not Floydy, and you dont have to be sorry?
We should be sorry for you actually as you have missed
out on so much?
However it is not too late for you, when you retire you can
open a new world to not only you but to your family too
Enjoy yourself!

I would not have a dog as to me they need a lot of exercise and I am not able to do this and it would not be fair on the dog.
I am not a cat lover.
Does he talk into your hearing aid BB?

Re: Who doesn't own a cat or a dog on here?

There's nothing wrong in not wanting animals.

Some people do, some people don't. Far better to not have any than to get one and not be able to, or be unwilling to, look after it properly.

For me, they are part of the family, especially now I'm on my own. I can't imagine being dog-less

However you have to be prepared to take the rough with the smooth. They are a tie and can be a financial drain.

The people I feel sorry for are the ones that would dearly love a pet but are not in a position to have one. That's a shame

Spot on!! And a point I have made a few times.
It is a commitment you have to be prepared to make. Unconditionally.

But what you put in, you get back ten times over.

What did you say? You'll have to speak up.
I do not have a hearing aid, I just tell people to 'speak up and stop mumbling'

Dogs have owners.

Cats have staff!

I am housekeeper to two of them!

None of us has eternal life. We all know that going in. At age 15 your dog had a good life span. Yes, you grieve but at least you had the pleasure of his companionship during that span.
