Happiness is taking a walk in the sunshine with my dog.

Here in the Seattle area, we are self quarantined except for vital trips to groceries, gas stations, and can take walks in parks spread out. if I couldn't do this I would surely go crazy as I live in a small travel trailer. All my senior activities are closed. I'm so lucky to be in pretty good health so I'm not housebound which would be really difficult. Maybe travel movies on TV is a good thing. Bless all of you.

Hi its the same in the UK. I'm in the Northwest region. We can go out once a day for essential food items, once a day for exercise social distancing of 2 metres and no more the two people together. No groups allowed. I'm glad I can get out to take the dogs for some exercise. Take care and stay safe. 🙂

Where ever we are, we must find that bit of time to be happy and grateful for what we have the people who help us and the happiness of others. Its nice to hear other people's laughter, it lifts your spirits. ☺☺☺

I want to get a dog. I’m trying to decide which breed is best for me. I want either a Labrador retriever, a golden retriever or a border collie. If anyone has any experience with either of these breeds I would be grateful for your advice.

I know Border Collies want to be very busy all day, and they are very smart. They are not apartment dogs. I have never owned one and would not try unless I had some acreage. Retrievers can be lazy, but still they are working dogs and they need to get outand exercise a lot. Pick a dog that is similar to yourself and you will have a best friend. 🤗🐕
