If your friends aren't reliable maybe you are not picking the right friends for you. Plus, if you are such a responsible friend, you may be overdoing your part - or you need to find friends more like you. I always find dropping a friend hard to do, but it makes room in your life for new people. If I wait for awhile, without new or old friends, then I am more ready to connect with new people who are healthier for me.
Did you offer to take the dog? I find I have to bite my tongue a lot as my tendency to want to help can put me over my limit in what I can handle pretty quickly. There's nothing like doing too much for someone to ruin a friendship of any kind. It puts things out of balance, tips the scale too far and I can end up resentful.
