    Swimming (or wading, if your dog is not a swimmer)

    We have a lake nearby and when it was warmer we'd make at least a trip a week and Jamie would just swim swim swim!! Charlie is a wader, he doesn't like swimming, and I have to keep him on a leash hehe. Jamie also LOOVEEESS just running. For no reason. Just... running! And they BOTH LOVE playing outside with sticks (you know the "you can't get me! na na na nana na") but I think we MOSTLY play inside and outside

    Mine love to go for walks and it's really fun for them when I sit on the floor and help them dig in their toybox. They get so excited when we find toys they haven't seen in wahile.

    All of the above (I voted for all of them.)

    Some are only limited to 1 dog, some all 3, depending on their recall, etc.


    Walks - All three
    Off-leash running (or on a long leash) - Kiara is allowed off leash, long leashes for Sim & Nala
    Playing inside (squeekies, rawhides...) - All three
    Playing outside (frisbee, ball...) - All three
    Dog Park! - Sometimes all three, mostly just Kiara and Nala
    Swimming (or wading, if your dog is not a swimmer) - Kiara swimming, Other two do not consider it fun, but do like to wade at the beach.
    Agility, Flyball, other dog-sport... - All three, only in our backyard though
    Training new tricks - All three
    Other (tell us about it!) - Maybe i'm the only one who considers this fun, but one of their's and my favorite thing to do is we all lay on the couch and watch TV at night. They love our cuddle time.

    Same here

    Walks - Micki, Mini, Kyra and Jack...Shadow is getting older and doesn't enjoy it that much anymore

    Off-leash running (or on a long leash) - Shadow and Jack are the only ones allowed off leash, but they all love a good romp

    Playing inside (squeekies, rawhides...) - Jack, Mini, Shadow, Kyra...Micki isn't too thrilled with toys

    Playing outside (frisbee, ball...) - Kyra loves frisbee, Jack participates once in a while

    Swimming (or wading, if your dog is not a swimmer) - Jack loves swimming, Mini loves to wade

    Agility, Flyball, other dog-sport... - Micki, Mini and Jack LOVE agility

    Training new tricks - All 5

    off leash runs-Happy and Misty mainly

    dogpark-Ripley, sometimes Blair, and rarly perky, she wont run their anyway she wants to stay with us

    walks-Happy, occasionaly Misty but not to often, she usually just does the walks on the way to an off leash run, the only reason Happy get walks is because she walks off leash, and is easy to manage, well behaved and she is wlecomed into the homes of all my friends, so she gets walks when I am out with friends, she becomes "one of the gang" everyone loves her lol

    flyball-Happy, Misty, Ripley, Blair

    freestyle-Happy, Perky, Blair

    agility-Happy, Misty, Blair, Perky

    Frisbee-Happy, Misty

    plus random other dog sports

    playing in the house-Happy(fetch), Misty(rough housing), Blair(tug), Perky plays with squeekys when other dogs are not in the house, Ripley is not much of a dog to "play" when he does anything that would be considered play he only does it for food lol

    in the yard-all 5

    trick training-all 5, I think Perky does the most, since she is now competing in novice freestyle so she needs even harder moves then she already knows lol I believe her latest thing is flipping backwards around a barral
