Brontosaurus Lament

What’s your pet situation? I travel a lot, so we don’t have a brontosaurus. Maybe you don’t travel much, so you have one.
In any event, I imagine they would make for a challenging Emotional Support Animal, and difficult to travel with.
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. See you tomorrow.
We have an elder dog (small) who travels well but we can’t always take her places. I’ve written her a song recently; one of the verses is:
“I don’t like rainy days or cold temperatures, visits to the vet or pedicures
Or being left behind, are they EVER coming home?
I’m sure it’s been a week that I’ve been all alone!”
(In reality, it’s been two hours.)
We have two cats now, but we used to have dogs. We used to have five dogs and we fostered dogs too. Our pack of five help socialize the fosters. Most of our fosters were weaned puppies. We’d get them house trained, which made them easier to adopt. Right now, there are some life issues that argue against getting a dog. I miss dogs.
