All I can think of is I'm relatively young(54) & recently went back to work nights...I don't know..if someone has suggestions ..I'm open...Thanks!
Is that your dog in the picture? If so, do you take him to a dog park? That can be a great way to meet new friends. We take our two dogs daily to Doggie Doo Run Run on CR 101. It is a very social place, and everyone has love of dogs in common.
