He's been standing by the door whining, crying, and barking to go out. Then he stands by the balcony door staring outside and whining. It's hard telling him to be quiet when I know he's feeling deprived/cooped up. He's like "hey man. I feel better! I know I know have a conehead, but can we just get out of this darn apt!!"

Would it be safe to take him for a short walk around the block just to get him outside? It's not like he'll be running around in the park, or playing with other dogs. He'll have his shoes on, and we'll dress him warmly. Today is a nice day, and the snow has melted- the sun is shining...

I just feel so bad for him.

Is there anything I can do? He's got the conehead on, and lost a lot of his teeth so he can't even play with his toys... It's so sad!

As long as he isnt running or jumping he is fine. A little slow walk would be fine to do!!
