The Outside.

My little monster is not an inside dog. We keep him inside but much to his chagrin. (Big word. I know. Definition: disappointment, shame, blah blah blah. ) ANYWAY. Yes, Mull spends about 9 hours of his day in his crate Monday - Friday while we are at work but after work... he gets a full hour outside. Walking, playing, chasing tennis balls, everything. We then have dinner and he gets to go outside again. He gets a walk around the apartment complex and some more fetch. He spends most of the night outside because he insists on going out there...

On weekends he gets what we call "family walks". It is when Kyle, Mulligan, and me go on a 2+ mile walk around the world. He gets lots of fetch time. And he also gets lots of walks around the apartment complex. But he insists on ramming his body into our front door and jumping on the handle. He does this because he knows it annoys his parents.

He is obsessed with the balcony but we have banned him from the balcony because all he does is bark at the trees or the wind or the people walking below. And he does not have a small friendly bark it is a "back up and get away bark". Yeah.. he is REAL friendly... ugh.

Currently, he is doing a running start and slamming his body into the door. Maybe he will break a rib (not that I want him too, I would much rather he didn't because that would put him into a lot of pain). Sometimes we wish he was not so high maintenance and that 2.77 mile walk would knock him out for a few hours. Am I a bad pet owner? But I guess I will take him outside, he has been demanding it for oh 10 minutes.
