I feel guilty as a dog mom

I have an 8 year old lab/beagle mix he absolutely HATES going anywhere in the car and is terrified of water. He's a ball of anxiety I originally got him to be my partner in crime. I was going to take him everywhere and he would be my companion. Well we shortly learned that his anxiety is way too much I walk him around the house but he's content laying in bed or being a couch potato. I am supposed to get a golden retriever puppy on Saturday.. Again I want to take her everywhere camping, the beach, the lake where ever we go she will go. But my mama heart feels guilty because my older dog doesn't get to experience these things. How do you handle these situations? We do go on vacations semi often but my sister stays at my house and watches my older dog to keep him comfortable.
