I hate to say this, but maybe it's really time to think for REAL options for Buddy. I cannot imagine not walking a dog of his mix. He must be so incredibly bored - just think, wouldn't you want to jump the fence and run about the neighborhood if you rarely to never go walked or got excersize?
It is beyond me why your parents allow children to have a dog that the child cannot control if they are going to have no part in it's excersize.

My Kiara would be completely uncontrollable if she never got excersized. She really lets me know too. If I didn't stimulate her, she becomes destructive.

Thus, we play frisbee, go swimming, run around in the backyard, and sometimes just play fetch in the house... EVERYDAY. I switch those things around too - I don't just play normal old fetch, sometimes I throe 3 or 4 balls at a time. She gets one, brings it back, gets the other, brings it back, and so on....

I work a full time job and I'm on my feet all day at that job - yet I still make time for my dogs because they ARE my responsibility and they are unhappy if I don't spend the necessary time with them, that I agreed to give them when adopting them. And no, saving their lives from an unknown doom is NOT enough. When they are sitting at home bored the fact that I have adopted them does not run thru their minds, I'm sure.


When you get so upset with Buddy at times, and when others can see that frustration you have on here, remind yourself that it's not his fault.
