Does anyone else ever just feel exhausted and kind of regret having a dog despite loving them so much. I am pretty sure the heartbreak of losing my dog would traumatize me or kill me, but sometimes I just wish I never got him in the first place so I didn’t have this issue. I love him so much but I’m exhausted. I’m single and work full time and live in a tiny apartment so I have to walk him 3-4 miles a day. I have no social life and every time I go out I feel guilty that my dog is at home alone. I don’t have money for help and I don’t want to put him in daycare cause I fear the relief of not having responsibilities would feel so good I would feel even more resentful after.
However I love my dog and give him lots of love and cuddles and walks and toys. He has a good life. I’m just so tired.
