Re: wonderful new therapy
Love your post Bigfella, and totally understand how much love, joy, and companionship they can bring.
I have only ever been without a dog's company for a short period of about 6 months in of my entire life. I grew up with them and value their companionship very much - warts and all.
Before I retired, I had my big boys (GSD's). I used to take one into work with me at times - (residential care home).
He was so sensible, careful and gentle, and they loved him.
It was the boy in my avatar.
