Piper had a big day Saturday; she went to the park and even got frisky enough to run (for a few strides LOL) a couple of times with some other puppies. Yesterday we went to a different park where our other doggie companions wanted to walk around some trails. Piper thought it was a bit excessive and let me know so we went to the lake and she did her favorite past time, dunking her face in the water. She then let me know it was time to go with a look and a whine. When we got home she was exhausted and this morning doesn't seem to feel well. There's a delicate balance to enjoying life and wearing her out that I am trying to find. It seems that Saturday and Monday park visits were too much. I can tell she doesn't feel well. She's less interested in food, thus it took some really good stuff to get her to eat, and she's not breathing well. Her breathing seams to get slightly worse every day and really makes mama sad. BUT I would rather have a few fun days at the end of my life than a lot days of laying in bed. So she's gonna keep on having fun, maybe just with less walking and more riding in the truck.
