We took Cooper to the beach for the first time and he LOVED it! Can't wait for spring to get here, so that he can go on his first hike!

This is my situation too! Its too stressful! I have an axiety attack almost walking them because so many people let their dogs of leashes in our neighborhood (BIG dogs too!). I have had to grab them up sooooo many times because someone's dog is running loose (but "They won't bite! They just want to play!") I do not understand what people are thinking! I don't know them or their dog...why would I want their dog jumping up on me or "playing" with my 4lb baby??! There are laws and we also have HOA rules, but I guess they don't apply if your dog only wants "to play." (sorry for venting)

Slade gets walked once in a blue moon. THankfully we have a fenced in back yard so he can run plenty! THere are so many loose dogs in our neighborhood, that I'm afraid to walk him.

Major props to the people who get their Yorkies regular exercise.

Define walk....hehe...we walk around outside anywhere from 3-5 times a day to potty unless its pretty and we wanna just go out for some fresh air or to the mailbox. But as for "going for a walk"....never during winter...few short walks in summer and in between when its just right outside we will walk around our pond a time or two.

We struggled for 2 years to get Tucker housebroken. He just did not "get it". We had a fenced in yard and would just let him out to potty. When we moved our yard wasn't completely fenced in so we started walking him....and viola! He is now completely house broken! He goes for a walk 3 or 4 times a day. We go into the back yard to play, but he's learned when he is walking on the leash it's "all business".
