...If I were a dog someone would come out for a walk with me every day and I wouldn't be expected to take myself out ... they would panic if I left the house alone. Don't they understand that sometimes I can barely get downstairs on my own never mind tripping the light fantastic ..... or even going to the shops for a pack of cigs and a pint of milk.
...If I were a dog no-one would care about the fact that I hadn't had a bath for a week. Nobody would say 'just 'cos you're ill doesn't mean you can't wash' .... it's not that I don't want to but the closest a bath has figured in my mind over the past few days has been when I considered slitting my wrists in one. And if they did care they'd do something about it instead of just bitching - seriously, you think your bitching is helping my mood?
...If I were a dog nobody would think it odd that I didn't eat unless food was placed in front of me. Nobody would expect me to create fantastic family meals and eat at the table with a smile on my face. No-one would care that I just ate stuff out of a can.
...If I were a dog I wouldn't have to worry about money - no-one would stress that I'm going to spend next months rent on my latest 'hobby' - after all tennis balls and squeaky toys are never going to break the bank - though I'm sure I'd give it a damn good try.
...If I were a dog no-one would think it strange that I never answer the 'phone...
I wish I were a dog.

I've thought about that so many times. Being a dog would be so awesome. It would be much easier.
When I was in my most depressed state in spring of last year, I'd sleep all day and all night, and my dog Oreo would sleep right beside me the entire time. No one cared that he was sleeping all day, but everyone bitched about me doing it.
I have exactly the same - my terrier Tix sleeps all day every day - and everyone thinks it's cute ... 'oh it's because he's an older dog', 'isn't he a cuddly cutie'....If I do it I need to 'pull myself together', 'stop being lazy and do something and you won't have anything to be depressed about'....so yeah, it would be awesome to be a dog.
