I dont know if its in my head but I feel like im such a failure at being a dog mom. I dont play with her enough, rarely, because i just dont have the energy. She goes outside 3/4 times a day most days because i just cant bring myself to get up and take her down the stairs out the front door and around back (we live downtown). Shes always bored because we live alone and i know so badly she wishes she had a friend or that i had the capacity to make her happy. I try to love her as best i can. Giving her good long scratches and cuddles and kisses. But i just feel like its to make up for all the ways in which i fail her. Is it just in my head or am i really such a bad dog parent? :( i just want her to be happy... does anyone else struggle with taking care of their dog?
