Are you an aspiring dog mom or dad but can’t adopt a furry child yet? Maybe you live in a one of those apartment buildings that doesn't allow pets and probably also hates babies and sunshine and joy. If that's the case, I've listed seven ideas that can help you get through the agony of not having a dog companion in the meantime.
