Went to the shops to get some booze, and dog food hectic out there. The pet shop is even empty mostly lucky I took the last bag of dog food that I normally buy.

That's ridiculous.. so if someone doesn't have a yard but takes their dog to the forest 3 times a day for walks they shouldn't have a dog?

There are people with no yard that take better care of their dogs than those who have big yards and just ignore their dogs.

I still don't see why any sane person would get an energetic dog if they have a small place.

In cases like this probably a better idea.

It’s like the gym people all over again.
ask yourself this question "Is walking my dog every day more important than living?"

just stay at home for 21 days, it isn't difficult to understand this
So you lot have no uncertainty about anything around lock down... have all the answers?

I'm simply trying to find it if there are more answers. UK also has lockdown and there is a long list of activities you can do... including 1 exercise a day like going for a run or walking a dog.

Maybe they live on the doorstep of a place like a dog friendly beach... anyway... side tracking the thread. Just because you wouldn't spend the time walking your dogs multiple times a day doesn't make other people who would insane.

I have cats, they do their own thing. But the President was kinda explicit - stay at home.

No, you won't be able to take your dog for a walk.

Unless you walk it to the chemist, or the bank or the food shop.

Think I'll ask some supermarkets if they'll hire me to look after dogs at the entrance :sneaky:
Depending on tomorrow's announcements of course.

Hopefully the detailed limitations that come out tomorrow shows otherwise, with strict restrictions though for things like jogging and dog walking.
