That's why I have a little dog! I have a small yard and work full time so can't really take him for walks to exercise him but he's quite happy running around in our small yard. I got him from a shelter when he was 2 years old, they were going to put him down because they said he had health problems but I adopted him anyway and now he is 13 years old and going strong!
