dogs lives have "ups" too. they get belly rubs, go for walks, get yummy treats, etc. it may seem "boring," but boring is subjective. you're only 20 years old. give it another 5 years or so and we'll see how you feel. :1orglaugh
It's just not worth it in my opinion. It would suck to be stuck inside most of the day. I enjoy life too much even with the downs.
