I know exactly how you feel. I suspect that Missy (who just turned 12) will now do better with shorter walks-- she starts out like gangbusters, but tires sooner than she used to. I know she is arthtritic, but I also know that walking, within their limitations, is good for arthritic dogs. When she was evaluated by a PT and was doing the hydrotherapy, he wanted her walked twice a day. It wasn't and isn't always possible, especially in warm weather.

I'm thinking that two short walks in a day might be better for her than one slightly longer one. I'm just going to pay close attention to how she reacts and go from there. I'd suggest the same approach with Fozzy.
