Hi tiggers mum, i think this dog like those of your friend will have a lot of energy to burn up when does get out n about. Awful as it sounds, Pilgrim, can't help thinking the same thing but am trying not to Just hope he does start walking the dog soon even if not everyday.

Yes of course.

I get really upset when I hear about people who don't walk their dogs. If someone takes on the responsibility of owning a dog, they should provide sufficient exercise for their dog.

It's unfair and cruel to keep a dog inside all the time and not let it stretch its legs and enjoy the stimulation of new scenery etc.

I have a young Lab and I can't imagine how he'd be without exercise. He'd be climbing the walls.

It's really decent of you to be concerned about this dog - if you think you can offer to help walk the dog without causing any upset, and if that is something you want to do, then go for it!

At least that poor Lab has you on his side!
