Wow @Ruthie - 18years is a pretty good innings for a dog. Even 12 years isn't bad. My dog is nearly nine but she acts like she's 19 sometimes. She's a Cavoodle. I used to walk her first thing in the morning and then again in the afternoon but on these cold mornings, she likes to sleep in so I go by myself. I get to walk faster that way as she likes to sniff and potter about.
Funnily enough she picks up the pace if we do the rounds at night. So at the moment, we do a middle of the day walk and an evening one. Works for us.
