Mine is in his later years (he's 14) and now walking him is basically "Walk really slowly in front of him while trying to encourage him to move at more than a snail's pace" so enjoy that while you can!

- hirvi74 3y agoMine is 5, but I have already planned for this. I plan to get something like stroller or a wagon, and I will just cart him around the neighborhood, on trails, etc. so he can at least still sightsee. We are best friends, and I can't do our activities without him.
- chankstein38 3y ago<3 Right?! I feel bad if I go to a park or go for a walk without him. He needs the exercise and he's my buddy. I haven't done the stroller or wagon thing yet but I love that! Right now I'm still hoping that forcing some activity will slowly strengthen him. He had some seizures at the beginning of the year and has been slower since but I've seen him go from barely being able to get up and walk to being able to run around inside pretty happily and keeping a better pace outside. Not sure how much longer I've got with him but I hope he is happy he's alive still.
- deafpolygon 3y agoMine's 12 and still gives the neighborhood dog hell whenever she sees them! Plus, she keeps pushing to walk faster all the time. I don't know where she gets it, and I'm starting not to look forward to the days when she inevitably slows down.
