My best solution to being depressed is to play with my dogs, or pet a cat if you have one.
Unfortunately I accidentally stepped on the cat's tail this morning and he has been miffed all day, pouting upstairs right now, in fact.
I almost took a chance on fostering an elderly, arthritic, hugely overweight bull mastif, but his exercise needs were beyond my ability. And he would have taken up the whole couch! Fortunately another opportunity came up for him before his termination date. He really is living out his golden years on a big farm where he can roam outside and play at herding the goats and donkey!
