    Winston get's tired after about a half hour of chasing a ball and an hour of running around with Keeva.

    Keeva's tired after playing with either Winston or Tango for a couple hours, but then she just takes a 20 minute nap and she's ready to start all over...lol

    Tango...It's almost impossible to tire her out! She gets about 2 really long walks a day and we take her to play frisbee or ball at a nearby field once or twice a day aswell. After all of that, she comes home, drinks some water and lays down for about 10 minutes and is ready to go again. Once she realizes I'm not going to take her for another hour or more walk she goes and plays with Winston or Keeva and after all of that, she's still not tired and is ready to play some more! We also take her to an off leash park about 4 times a week or so. Of course, she does sleep sometimes but that's not because she's tired, it's just because I'm on the computer or something and she has no choice....

    Tia's tired after running a lap or 2 around the house, she's not an overly active dog and would much rather sleep the day away unless we go camping or something where she can look for squirrels and gophers.

    Shadow gets tired just walking up the stairs lol. She can usually handle a walk around the block and thats about it.

    Micki is a little harder to tire out, I usually take him rollerblading and the little guy can pull me non stop forever!

    Mini is tired after a 2 mile bikeride, she also loves to go rollerblading but doesn't have as much stamina as Micki.

    Jack can go for a 2 mile bike ride to a huge open field, run off leash for a while and then the 2 mile bike ride home and is whipped but after a quick nap he wants to do it all over again.

    Kyra can play fetch forever and never seems to get tired, or play frisbee, I don't think I've ever seen her completely worn out.

    I give Tito and Bo a new toy, and they spend hours chasing each other non-stop.

    I also take Tito for bike rides to the beach, he loves it.

    I just let them go outside, if its fenced in then they get to run to their heart's content. Otherwise I tie Charlie on the tie out and let him and Jamie just run around. Otherwise sometimes a trip to the beach for swimming or just a long car ride to petsmart tires them out. SOMEtimes.

    I take Finn swimming! Or play fetch, but, the only thing that tires him out before me is to take him kayaking.

    Pulling! 6 of mine just ran 18km pulling the ATV. They are good and tired now. Won't last long, but it's quiet for a little while!
