Hi,

I two beautiful Dobes and am feeling kind of guilty right now because I can't exercise them as much as I'd like being due to a chronic illness that may go into remission or not (pray that it does though)

I used to run/walk my pups 1 1/2 hours a day which is totally not possible with how I'm feeling. The most I can do is half hour in the morning and maybe 45 minutes late night after taking pain pills.

I love these dogs more than most people I know. Am I not such a great mom anymore? Somebody please reassure me that this is okay? I'm feeling really depressed and shocked about my chronic illness. I want to get better so badly but doctors have to keep guinea pigging the medicines.

Thanks for reading.

Are there any other Dobe owners here that have chronic illnesses or disabled?

These days it seems I develop more and more health issues. I'm sliding into 50! Fi-Ty YEARS OLLLDDDDDD



















Is there anybody here with a chronic illness or disabled that has a Doberman?

I do thank every one hear for their thoughtful suggestions. I have a treadmill that they could probably get on if I could get my husband to help me with this solution. I have numerous types of kongs for them that I stuff with different treats.


If I took them to a daycare they would only be allowed by themselves since my female is very dominat and aggressive towards other dogs :/. My male has cataracts on both eyes which can't be removed since i've already tried that and he had a terrible reaction to the anesthesia and almost died on the table. He's very skittish around other dogs. I don't really know if he wants to play with them or hurt them!

They just seem sad, depressed as am I. I know they are pulling vibes from me and it's way sad.


I'll do the best I can I'm not giving them away that's for darn sure. Heck there's dog owners all over my neighborhood and you'd only know they even

had a dog because they bark at us from behind their prison wall :busted_red:

my husband constructed a type of accordion gate that goes across the front of the garage and my Dobes are able to go out front and see what the heck is


going out there or sadly be in that yucky back prison yard where they can only bark a hawks flying above.

Illnesses stink for sure, for us or our precious babies.
