Hahaha nola, not even remotely possible
Theelitegoldfish - Yep, she's an aussie cross that can get a LOT of energy some days. But because of her HD I've stopped taking her for walks because more than 10-15 minutes walking on concrete makes her sore and that amount of time doesn't burn energy out. She usually comes up to the barn with me about 5 days a week and does great there. While there's some concrete areas she can go play in the grass or arenas where she'll often have some zoomies then settle down. Because she can be loose and has some freedom, she chooses when to play or lie down so seems to be able to limit herself. Unless she has multiple zoomies including jumping over things and really being strenuous, she doesn't come home sore so the barn has been great for her.
At home she's actually not that active. If I'm sitting on the couch or otherwise just relaxing she'll sleep by my feet. Usually after coming home from the barn she's passed out until she has to pee. The only thing that wakes her from her nap is either dinner time, or a stranger on the porch.
Food wise she gets just under half a cup of orijin and a 1/4 of a hamburger pattie (dog food style) mixed up each day. If you give her more than that there'll be leftovers in the bowl. If you split it into 2 meals she'll only eat one meal so its a compromise with her. She's at a good weight, actually getting trim from all the barn activity.
I'll have to hunt down the old kong toys (she was never a toy fan, always rawhides) could I put peanut butter in them as an alternative if she doesn't play with the kibble?
She's also just turning 3 this summer. So while she'll eventually be spayed I'm not the biggest fan of the potential side effects so I'm waiting for now. As I said, the other 3 dogs she ever is able to interact with is 2 neutered males and 1 intact female. Aside from the barn she's always supervised. She gets some freedom at the barn but even neighbours don't have any dogs so nothing close by. And she doesn't have THAT much freedom that she can wander the countryside lol she has never had a situation to even be near an intact male.
