Well I do feel the same way you do about them being dogs and needing to run and play and all that! I feel so guilty for not making every day be "all about the doggies" but I just don't get the time.
I have hawks in my yard every day too. They sit in the trees and all of a sudden they swoop down and grab the little field mice! My breeder lady said to "watch out for hawks because she's had some get her tiny yorkies" and that scared me to death! I wish I lived in town by my sister, where they could play together. She has 2 yorkies and one is 4 lbs too. They all loooove each other. They seem to be fine just running and playing in the house, but my oldest yorkie absolutely loves being outside and sniffing the grass and running. She's a real doggie. My youngest one is a sissy! LOLOL (cracked myself up)
