Patrick,
Forgive me but maybe you are looking at this from the wrong point of view. Of course you have a soft spot for dogs and they make you happy. Look at it though from the dog's point of view. You have made 2 dogs happy by showing them love, attention and simple affection. At 65 you could have made 4-5 dogs happy during the years.
There is no shame in showing love whether it be for an animal or another human being. I think all of us would fall into the same category. People like us who share the outdoors whether it be hunting, fishing or simply a nice hike have a pleasure others do not have. We get to actually see what God has prepared for us on earth, the beauty, majesty and awe are not lost on us. We get to not only see it but enjoy it as well. Some people pass the same views every day and see nothing. We have goodness in our hearts to do that and to enjoy the joys of having a dog as well. I think it's time you get 3 more dogs to make up for lost time. Sorry, didn't mean to ramble.
Dennis
