I'm now having pain issues.

She obviously doesn't want to go for walks so I'm going to oblige.
From now on she gets potty breaks but Chipper will be my walking partner.
Kia sound like "the Old Man" (aka Bowser).
Poor Guy, has to *shuffle* along on 3-Paw Drive - and #3 *sputters* these days.

He's passed the time when he can try to keep up with the Dynamic Duo, so they run by
themselves on a Y-Thingy (coupler) and <drag> a leash;
whilst Bowz and I <shuffle> along like the geriatric Old Pharts we are.

He DOES "lag behind" and checks Pee-Mail on every blade of grass ...
but I'm not much faster!

A suggestion to help Kia "hustle up" just a bit ...
can you try a "pinch collar" on her?

Now don't everyone out on me ... you don't have to try to strangle her with it ...
but a properly fitted Pinch might encourage her to pick up the pace to a more
reasonable gait,
AND ease the pain in your arm & shoulder.

Get one at PetSmart and you can take it back for a full refund if it doesn't
help with the problem.

Giddy-UP, Kia!
