So.... Mia... (isnt' this how it always starts, lol?)
Mia is really active. I really think she needs some offleash time which is difficult since I'm in an apartment. I don't really like dog parks, but I think a good run every other day added on to her schedule would be really helpful. There are two dogparks here- one isn't segregated size wise so it's out. It's not very big and overcrowded when I've gone to look so it's just not something I want to put a 5 lb puppy in. I've found out about another that has a small dog section. I haven't been to look at it yet but my friend with a papillon goes there and likes it.
The problem? Summer. What do I do about Summer? She can't go to a dog park unless we go at really off times where there are no other dogs. She can't really stay home by herself because of her SA. She FREAKS when both Mia and I are gone. She's doing much better with her SA and I really don't want to set her back.
Last year I ran Summer in a field behind my old complex, but I really can't do that this year because there is none here. I took Mia onto a remote part of campus today and let her offleash in a field. I'm not sure it's completely allowed, but she had a blast and ran and ran and ran for 30 minutes straight. I read the sign about dog rules and it simply said this: 'Dogs are not allowed to roam the campus unsupervised'. What does that mean?
