The weather here has been gorgeous. For the past two days Otis and I have taken walks for about an hour long, uphill and downhill, in 70 degree weather. He is slightly panting, and there's no water until we get home. He doesn't ask to be carried and he seems to enjoy himself, but I'm concerned that an hour up and down hills is too much for his little body.

I noticed when we get home, he drinks a ton of water, then plops down on the cold kitchen floor for about 1/2 hour.

How long do you take your doggie on walks for?
