♥Tiny Tia my Furbaby♥ Donating Member | Do you do long long walks? we have just got back from a 4 hour walk (with a pub lunch stop in between)and Tia walked almost the whole journey! She is 18mths old and only 5lb in weight but she loved it. I always take her carry holdal just in case she asks to go in it. Does your baby like long walks?

| Yup! Jackson could go forever. We've gone on 5 mile treks before. But there's also been days where he's out and about for sometimes 6 hours with me (once we went to dog park for 2 hours, walked around Petsmart for 30 minutes, went and visited family that also have dogs, etc) He can pretty much go all day and then night time comes and he CRASHES

| We go for longer walks and enjoy them. Lola and Geneva love to go on long walks and play fetch at the park. Zach wants to be held sometimes if it is cold. I think once the weather warms up he will enjoy the outdoors more.' Tia looks like a little diva in her bag. Pretty in pink! She has the same color nose as my Zach. |

| I take Piper for a 3 mile walk every day at the beach, weather permitting. She is 5.75lbs and she enjoys walking on the beach, paths and boardwalk. She is a fast little walker and people who see her say that her little legs are a blur and it looks like she's floating along. At the end of our walk I know that Piper could easily walk another 3 miles. But I always worry that too much walking will hurt her feet.

| Armani enjoys long walks as well and I find that walking with her (especially when the sun is shining) really is a stress reducer.

| Lucy loves to run around the neighborhood unless it's cold. If it's cold she walks like 10 feet and then jumps up on my legs and whines to be carried. It's so cute! |

| We do 30-35 minute walks, at a pretty good clip...Buzz and I are about through, after 30 minutes, but the little Diva, Apple could go another round lol...I just love that you stopped for a pub lunch (I've been to England)...Did you hide the baby in a carrier, eat outside, or what? |

| Molly could have walked all day before she tore her cruciate ligament. For 6 months she's had restricted exercise, but we are now up to an hours walking a day, and that will hopefully be doubled by the summer.

| ooooh i agree with this so much. Its the thought of a long evening stroll by the river with Molly that keeps me going through a hard shift at work.

| Our girl is now 12 1/2 and she walks a few blocks, then we carry her a few blocks, then she walks....when she was younger (under 10) she used to walk 3 miles and she stepped out smartly. Now, we just do not want to push her, but she does let us know when she wants out of the carry bag or stroller. She also lets us know when she is done walking by putting on the breaks. We have to take her or she gets jealous when she sees the big dog getting ready for his walk. SOmetimes, we just walk her down to the street corner and she is happy. |

| That would sooooooo not happen, here in Texas...There would be the biggest ruckus w/the health dept. the league of nations, and the PTA, if someone took a pup in where food was served lol...You're so lucky you can take your Tia w/u to places like that...I had visions of taking Apple all over the place, before I got her, but they have the CIA watching all the doors, to all the stores, to be sure you don't carry in any small pets in your bag....of course I'm kidding, but I'm sure you get what I mean...lol... |
