So now I try to either keep them on the cement or put shoes on.

That scares me. That's is why I don't allow Sass in anyones grass, but ours. WHen we walk I make her stay on the sidewalks.

Maxipoo walks 4 miles about 4 times a week and he seems to love it. When it's time to come in, he sits down and tries to make himself heavy...it's funny. You would think he'd be tired but then he grabs his favorite green ball and wants to play fetch still when we're inside.

We walk 2 to 2 1/2 miles. I have arthritis in my feet that keeps me from walking much further anymore. My girls could walk longer, at least on cooler days.
