I tie a stuffed toy to a deep sea fishing rod and reel, that has really strong nylon line on it...I cast that toy out across the yard and reel it back to me....the dogs go absolutely nuts chasing that toy as it flops and drags back to me! They LOVE it! I have a bubble machine that they love to chase the bubbles, I have water sprinklers, kiddie swimming pools....all this wears my kiddos out and they sleep like logs at night and when they come in they nap peacefully....maybe your baby just isnt getting encough exercise with that one daily walk....I can appreciate your issue with joint pain....I have to use a walker when I go walking any long distance....but I can sit in a chair and throw toys and cast that toy on that fishing rod and reel, etc....and plumb wear them out!! I hate that you are sofrustrated and at the end of your roap with the situation....I hope you can solve the issue without having to rehome your baby.. |
Wonderful, thoughtful, measured advice - as usual!!!
