You were ready to jump ship to Canon because of some perceived improvements, and insistent that only the best autofocus would possibly capture your dogs in motion, but then you want to buy a 10x consumer zoom?
You can't have everything. You can either have a competent camera/lens combo that will handle difficult situations, or you can have the lightest, most convenient setup. A consumer zoom like the 18-200mm will be light and easy to carry. It will not focus quickly, and you will find some limitations with the image quality. A higher quality zoom like the 70-200mm f/4 is going to be more restrictive in focal range, and heavier, but it will achieve a much higher level of performance.
Also - I think you would have gotten a much friendlier response if you had simply come in asking for advice rather than making broad statements alongside your questions. If you say, "hey guys I've been out of it for a while and here is what I need," it will net more quality answers than putting a bunch of people on the defensive by saying, "...here is what I need, and Nikon failed with their flagship camera release."
