I had to put my Boxer down about 6 years ago and still think of him almost every day. That said, I don't miss walking him in the early morning rain, cold or shine. It got to the point of medical expenses that I had to decide how much is enough. Finally his suffering made my decision for me. I also don't miss having to be aware of how long I can be away from home without letting him out. Vacations were another problem........SO, as much as I loved my dog I wouldn't want another one.
