I have a huge fenced in yard (I live in the country) so I don't take them for walks because I am afraid of them getting attacked by big dogs. I used to take Cleo because she isn't afraid of anything and is a great protector even though she is under 10 lbs, but she decided that she needs to protect me from my neighbors too apparently, lol, so she stays home. I am getting a ccw so I can carry tho. Unfortunately my .38 special is a little heavy for a fanny pack, so I am going to get something a little more compact,
