| Yes, especially during the summer when it is too hot to go out while the sun is still shining. |

| We do occasionally... but I purchased a pepper spray that is attached to Khloe's leash, so DH can protect us We haven't had to use it, fortunately!

| I dont walk Callie as much as I would like to because its just not safe here. But she runs like crazy in our back yard and we have two different kind of games we play around the house. Please any ladies out walking your dogs at night please please be careful there are so many women coming up missing and hurt or worse.

| We go out for potty breaks in the dark, but we don't go on walks for exercise after dark. |

| Sadly we don't. It is just too scary. I might fall, I don't see that well at night, fear of stray animals or owls, and bad people. After dark we stick to our big fenced yard which has regular lights and motion lights. If you younger, braver girls, do walk at night please be careful.

| Heck, I don't walk me after dark! Nope, just quick potty breaks in the yard for the pups once the sun goes down.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Nothing goes for a walk after dark here. Just too many things that can happen at night.

| In summer when the neighbors are still out after dark I would walk Tibbe(can't now due to a bad hip) but only then. It is just not worth the risk - unseen loose dogs and people can come out of no where, etc.

| Yes. I don't want to be housebound out of fear just because it gets dark early as we approach winter. Last week, I took ZoE for our regular walk on a local trail that follows a creek through a partially wooded area. We were a little later heading out than usual. That combined with the sun setting earlier, and it was dusk as we headed out on the trail, but was dark as we headed back to the car. There are no lights whatsoever on the trail and it was a little scary...not so much the dark, but the wind rustling leaves and the popping & snapping noises you hear in the woods.

| I take them out after dark but not to far and I have pepper spray to, lol. But I findl if they use it at night, they don't get up as early to go out. I still keep pads down for them just in case of emergency or if I oversleep.

| Yes, but I have the perfect set up with a small well lighted neighborhood park across the street. If there are still people in the park, I feel pretty good. If not, we just walk the edge. The park has houses facing it on 3 sides. Still....you can't be too careful even in a neighborhood.
