Whereas when he's been at home for 3-4 days with little to no exercise, and never leaving house at all, he can get a bit needy. But he's an extremely active high energy dog. My dads dogs are for the most part content to lounge around the house and run in the yard occasionally -though they do get bored too sometimes so we will take them somewhere every once in a while.

Thank you so much, we haven't used it yet but plan to before winter comes. :)



It would be nice if this thread could get back to the topic of discussing Dog Friendly places and stop all of this nastiness toward one another. Its a bit ridiculous and so way off track. I wasn't going to post but when I read what was being said I could not believe it . .

What someone does with their own child whether that child be a skin or fur kid has nothing to do what so ever with this thread. I think that some of the comments/opinions about what a parent should do with a sick child or how you feel about it were way insensitive. You all might want to consider that not everyone has the leisure or convenience of leaving a sick child at home or have access to an on call sitter as needed. None of us know the others circumstances and I think your opinion of what someone does with their children is none of our business just as what we, you or I choose to do with our fur kids is none of your business either. Things get way too sensitive when you bring people family into a conversation that in my opinion never should have been brought up.

And just so you know this is not me being the polite police or trying to tell anyone how they should post. This is just me saying that family should be Off Limits !!!! :mad:

Okay, that is your opinion and that is fine, but I want to point out that you are stirring the pot by posting this. Everybody has already chilled out, this does nothing but bring it back up. :thumbdown
