we do not walk much in the summer it i just too hot here lately and it takes a lot out of Layla.. so maybe around the block at night.. which MIGHT be half a mile... but in the winter we get up to 1-2 miles every night it we are able to... Layla can usually walk the whole thing but she has a new backpack she got for her birthday that we will bring now with a warming disk in case she needs a break. When we go away at Christmas to Florida our walks can get up to 3 miles and Layla does the whole thing.. but then naps the rest of the day
i do find that she is probably half a pound heavier this summer than she was in the winter and i know it is the exercise... we play our little hearts out int he house with fetch and whatnot, but i know it is not as good as a nice long walk!
