This is the truth. I've got a lab/brittany spaniel mix. I had a big field next to my house that I would work with her in on my lunch hour, she got all of our attention, etc.. Then we had a son and moved to Houston within 3 months of each other. We're in a suburb, small fenced in yard type of house and the baby gets all of the attention. I feel bad for her. The good thing for us is she takes it well. She will go lay in her kennel or on her dog bed. I've been around friends GSP's and they just don't deal with that kind of lifestyle.

I took my dog to the camp for a dove hunt for the first time in over a year. Hadn't worked with her, so didn't take her on the hunt, but it was really hard to see how happy she was running around the fields and retrieving dummies. Just made me realize even more how much she doesn't get to do anymore. Hoping after my son gets the whole walking thing down, they will be able to play together a little more and get her some activity.
