1. I hardly ever walk them |
|
They have a big back yard though, so I don't feel too guilty about it. :shrug:

2. Two get walkies twice a day. Two get walkies thrice. |
|
The fifteen-year-olds don't have perfect bladder control.

4. Our pooch gets lots of walks |
|
RD jr loves to take her out several times a day and they cover over 30 acres at least once a day. That doesn't include when we take her to the family farm, and of course just quick trips out for the bathroom.

5. My dog and I are inseparable. |
|
We go to the woods and the dog park together, shopping, bowling, out for drinks, you name it. We both need more alone time. :hi:

6. my doggie get long walkies almost everyday. |
|
i think 45 min is a good walkie for a little doggie. not everyday, but most days, but he seems happy enuff if we miss a day or two.
and it's for exercise, he's got a fenced yard to poop in.

7. Very few actual walks here, but |
|
I did buy them a much bigger pair of yards to run around in several times a day. Both mine, and the rescues. They all get a good deal of attention.

8. Very rarely do we walk our dogs |
|
We do have a big yard, go to the huge dog park, and Mick does sheepherding lessons. So, I think it makes up for the lack of real walks. Haruka walks him down to the beach sometimes and sneaks him in for a swim.

9. I take the beagle for a walk at least six |
|
times a day. But that's because she is in the truck with me. My other three go in and out of the house whenever they want to. We don't walk any of them.

10. Ours just use the yard... don't have to "walk" them. |
|
They go out for play-time twice a day. They also have a partial agility course for "lessons". They are in and out about 5-6 times a day, but they will not go out in the dark. I don't know why!

11. I just spent 2500 dollars to fence in an acre for them. |
|
I wish I could have fenced the entire property but I don't have the money right now. They seem to be OK in the yard & now I don't have to worry about them getting with a skunk or coyote. None of my six have ever been on a leash. Ever.

12. They mostly use the back yard. |
|
I do occasionally take one or another out for a walk on a leash, but the others get so upset at being left behind that I always feel guilty. They get much more exercise running in the yard than they could ever get plodding alongside me, in any case.
