Do you have a dog treadmill? I always worried about them. How does it work for you?
I am going to need some of these ideas. Yesterday was all rain and it looks like we are in for it today too. I have been up all night listening to the tornado warnings and sitings. I think I am going to take them out now and see if I can get them to stay under the eaves and get their business done up near the house. Not their regular place so not sure it will work. We also tke the umbrella out and Ben is good about going under that as I hold it up for him. Candy though, is not a happy camper with rain -- so she will probsbly make herself miserable holding it. She will go on the pad only when she can hold it no more. Annie is not trained well enough to worry yet -- she won't mind going anywhere!
We do chase after each other in a big figure 8 through my house. I have a very open floor plan with foyer, kitchen, breakfast room, family room, dining room, and living room all connected by wide openings. So we just run through them all. It is just me and the "kids" so no one minds.
Massage is a great idea! Thanks for thinking of it. Mine do like that!
