I skip days of walking her. Lol. Nothing else. She is my lifeline really. I love her to bits and she is funny too and makes me laugh.

I agree with your doctor...keep moving. Sometimes my Blackster is all I have to get me moving in the morning. I'm so depressed sometimes that I might sleep half the day away, then wake up feeling horrible.
She often wakes me up around 0600 asking for her breakfast. If I manage to stay up and not go back to bed, it usually turns out to be a better day for having gotten that early start and beating the heat of the afternoon. I can't work in the heat.
Sometimes I think she is all I have to give me a reason to go on living. That's worth a little trouble to fill her dish for her and dump out her litter-box.

i have a Westie, and she is 5, im on an insulin pump on top of CFS and fibro, and recently she would bark insisting I check my pump, and come to find out, she was telling me my sugars were low, or high, she does it with either! So now, my doctor has written me a letter stating she is a companion/service dog, so I can take her anywhere I need too, I can take her in stores and such which is a great incentive for me, and If i ride the bus, she can go. You may want to consider this, as it has helped me because when I have to go, and I take her, she gets her exercise too. Also, for me, it is work, but im alone, and she helps me get up, and when I can i take her a walk, as there are days I cannot, and she uses pads, which is a big help. When I cannot do it at all, I ask around, and usually if someone comes to visit, I ask them if they would walk her, which most will do for me, and that satisfies her for a while. It is hard with a pet, but being without my girl would be more heartbreaking than not. She is my constant companion. Hope someone chimes in with better answers, but I wanted to just share this.
