    They talk them nice long walks around the common, which is a drive away. There are no fields or anything near their house, just concreted pavements. Not good enough for pooches who are used to hour plus walks around nice fields and wooded areas!



    Your only going to be looking after them for a few days, it wouldn't do them any harm taking them for a walk around the local area in that time.


    It doesn't matter if they are walking on pavements or fields they are still getting exercise which the primary reason for taking dogs for a walk.

    Yes it's obvious that you don't want to so you should have just said that in the first place instead of making excuses ;)

    I was an older bride when I got married last year, my oldest had an afternoon tea delivered and presented us with the voucher for us to pick the day etc.

    Really kind and thoughtful and fun!
