We love Auggie, but any dog, even a dog like Auggie, takes away solitude. Even when walking my usual daytime walk, I wasn't walking alone at my usual pace. I definitely wasn't alone during the first walk of the day at 5:30 AM. Nor was I alone in the Angel Room when we returned.
Just saying…. When I am with a dog I am not alone. Maybe that's not true for everyone, but worth considering before you get one.
