Although I doubt your greys herd, it'll be interesting to see what you do for excersise on a daily basis!

I walk the pups twice a day (when the weather is OK) and try to take them to the dog park at least once a week. The weather lately has been so cold that we haven't been out as much as we would like. I'm ready for spring to come soon. ;D

I couldn't really choose what I do since I could only check off a box once, so I checked off a few different boxes. Before Leo broke his leg, I would take him for one long walk, about 45 minutes to an hour, and about 2 short walks, about 10-20 minutes long. In addition to that (or sometimes instead of the long walk) he would play at the dog park with other dogs, run in my parents' backyard chasing balls and toys, etc. I would also take him to a walk to a local highschool that has sand for long jumps and he loved digging there in the sand (we always fixed it up before we left). I've ridden my bike with him just once so far but that's another thing I'm going to do more of when his leg is healed. He's quite active and playful and is happy doing lots of different activities.

We do three walks a day. Before work (6:30am), after work (4:30-5pm) and before bed (anywhere from 8pm-11pm). Walk length depends on the weather. The really cold weather 10-15min, otherwise range from 20 min to an hour. Cain however does run around in the apartment before every walk and they both play in the house in the evenings.
Stryder is a very happy couch potato!

We take Annie and Beenee out for a walk everyday...about 1/2 hour to an hour depending on how much stuff they sniff along the way. I did learn a valuable lesson one day while out walking...to never walk them before the garbage truck pickups are done as I think they had to stop and smell every bag of garbage in the neighbourhood! ;D Everyday Annie loves to play fetch with her stuffies and has become quite good at it, Beenee is still in the learning stages. They love to run in the backyard at least twice a day...usually Beenee is in the lead with Annie trying to play as they run. No wonder she was a racing dropout! ;D

Stormy and Yoda go for off-leash runs every morning and evening. Yoda scuttles around at a sled dog trot and sniffs everything that seems interesting, while Stormy picks a nice flat area and runs an invisible RACE at full gallop, then she has to check everything Yoda has sniffed. The morning run is at the grounds of a local gun club and we usually have that place to ourselves. The afternoon run is usually at the new Dog Park in St. Thomas. Yesterday there were so many people & dogs there I had to wait to get a packing space. ;D

I take Izzie out for 3-4 walks a day. Before work, around 6:30-7am, after work about 4:30-5pm, and before bed usually around 10-11pm area. If its really cold out, like the -20 its been lately, Izzie doesn't want to be out there any more than I do. So shorter walks then, but if the weather is nicer, we have gone for walks that have been 20 minutes or longer. She horses around the condo. Otherwise she konks out in her bed and has a nice snooze

I had to pick a few since variety works best for Kawaii. She gets multiple walks a day that usually add up to being over an hour each day. She also goes to doggy daycare once a week and so plays and socializes (and gets into mischief I'm sure). Also, secretly I take her down to the underground storage area in my apt blding and we play ball in there once or twice a week. It's a nice heated area that is quiet and enclosed. She doesn't do offleash at parks since Guelph parks aren't enclosed though we visit my parents' house once a week and they have a small enclosed yard. Variety is the spice of life Lisa
