She also likes to eat out of the other dog's food dishes which she could fit in with room to spare! The dogs just don't know what to do with her- occassionally Taya'll try to play with Roo but they're just such different sizes! Anyway it's adorable!

WOW 3 months old and only 1.12 pounds, that's a tiny baby!!! My guy Winston was 2 pounds when he came home. But he's about 8 pounds now at 3 years old, I know a little pudgy, and I am trying sooooo hard to keep his weight down. My last Yorkie, Spencer, was way overweight and had some "issues" healthwise, so I'm trying to prevent anything from happening to Winston. I love him regardless of how much he weighs, I just want him to be "healthy". What does your little Roo eat, does she have any problems with hypoglycemia? Sorry, I'm getting way off the topic...forgive me.

I take my little Bella for at least 3 walks a day during the week and 4 to 5 walks a day on weekends. They are not always long walks. On weekends we usually go to the ballfields down the street and she runs around and socializes with all the kids there. She just adores kids. She loves to be outside except when it is really cold or really wet.

Cody and I do 3 laps around my apartment in the morning. we go for another walk sometimes in the afternoon. and we go in the evening..
then we wind down by playing in the yard. and we go in .

i put OTHER because
i Usually walk Skoshi almost every day for however long he feels like going. he usually gets tired and i have to carry him lol! but since we got Kiele and I have to wait till she gets all her shots ( including parvo and rabie) we havent been walking him but have a huge backyard and i will take them out there and let them play (supervised). I know its not the same as walking but i cant chance my other pup getting Parvo. We love our walks and now that she just got her 3rd shot the vet said we could take her now.

But it kind of sucks because now its winter!

We walk at least three or four times a week, but it's just around the block. I didn't start until about two weeks ago though, when the weather cooled down some.

Roxanne_mi · 10-30-2007, 05:50 PM

I been trying to take Aurora for a walk once a day but she is in her stroller. She gets her exercise running around the house like crazy. She is always playing.

twalla · 10-30-2007, 06:58 PM

I said Other only because it so varies! We havent walked at all this week but we chased each other around my backyard like he is a wild animal. I have nice size yard thats fenced in so he can go out there and run till he cant run anymore, lol

YorkieShadow · 10-30-2007, 09:46 PM

I put other.
I dont walk them only when we take them out and about, like to town or the park or lake. and we dont go a whole lot. They do get evening drives through the country every day Hubby has off. and they love that. We have 5 acres and I go out and sit while they run around like crazy, then they potty and we come back in.

I try to take MeMe for a walk at least once a week... Though she gets constant excersize from playing fetch and chasing my daughter up/down stairs

Too many irresponsible dog owners near me and they get out and most seem to be large dogs. A yorkie was attacked Saturday and killed by an Australian Sheppard near my house. Its a very nice neighborhood just too many dogs....I never walk mine we run and play fetch lots in my back yard. Im too fearful.

MorkieAZ · 10-31-2007, 02:34 PM

About 3 times a week, I know... I'm a bad mommy!!

erino77 · 11-01-2007, 08:25 PM

Koda gets a lot of outside run time. Beside the running foolishly all day inside the house so we do a walk or 2 a week

Rawism · 02-08-2008, 07:11 AM

I walk Rommie everyday for at least one mile. I try to tire him out, but it doesn't work. I am thinking of increasing our walk to 1.5 miles....

Mayas Mommy · 02-09-2008, 08:07 AM

We walk 5 days a week in the afternoon ... but only because I have to get my daughter from the schoolbus ....

tumismom · 02-09-2008, 08:15 AM

my girls love love to walk..in the summer/spring time, we walk them outside 2x a day for a mile in the morning and a mile at night..on the weekend, we take them hiking which is longer..they can go on and on..lol..now that the weather is sooo cold, i put them on the treadmill with me and we do a mile in the morning and a mile at night.
