Ringo can walk for hours and miles; Lucy ~ not so much. Even though we wait until evening; it is still very humid. She can go about a mile and a half - but I try to carry her part of the way so she doesn't get too tired or dehydrated.
We had some prior issues on long walks where she would just sink to the ground and her vet cautioned me that she simply is not capable of walking the distance that Ringo is. She dehydrates easily and has LP in both knees so we must be careful.
I know when she is tired and that is when she lets me carry her without struggling to be let down. I never thought I would be a stroller person - but am thinking about getting her a stroller so she can keep up with Ringo without wearing herself out.
