I miss having a dog around.
I'm still embracing my denial having two cats...I'M A DOG PERSON who happens to share a home with two cats.
It's so tempting to peruse rescue sites, but I have to admit life is easier with cats. I still feel guilty when I am on vacation but less so when it's the cats at home entertaining each other.
I suppose I should say I am fortunate I don't live on a ranch or in a rural area. The constraints of the city have kept me from pulling in every stray that ever crossed my path.. Heck, I'd wind up with a pet goat, antelope, a horse whatever.
I know when I rescued Annie off the street, she must have read the words "sucker" clearly written on my forehead. Suddenly I was a dog and cat owner. Since my dog was up there in years, I brilliantly decided to get a playmate for Annie, then I was a 2 cat/dog owner.
All the problems involved, I do miss the joy of watching dog on a beach, or splashing in the water or simple joy when you get home from work.

That last line made my eyes well up out of nowhere. I was just thinking happy dog thoughts, and you made me realize just how much it means when I drag myself home after a long, miserable day, and there are two little beasts bouncing up and down in the driveway, elated to see me, every day, without fail.
Awe...thanks Otto.
I should have also mentioned the snow days as well. That was always fun to watch the joy of Iggy slashing through the fresh snow like a kid.
Don't let John fool you...He is a Dog Person, sure...but he's a Cat Person too ;)
