My Yorkie will be 10 this year and she has a bad leg so I can relate. Your pupper is very cute and that just means you get more cuddles with him! I know some folks put their dogs in a backpack with their head popped out and they take em on walks and I’ve seen people attach carts to the back of their bike and let their dogs ride in style! Mine personally loves car rides which is a cheap, fast and covid safe activity for pups that still want to adventure.
Harry's cute and cuddly when he wants to be.....and only when he wants to be.
He's something of the like of a Jack Russell/Dachshund/Whippet cross, so his hunting insticts and territorialism are quite strong. He's lost his front teeth from attacking the kitchen door
He's a nightmare with other animals, people and vehicles.
We got him from a rescue centre, after going through all the suitability checks and several walkings, and he was nice and sedate (although, I was wary because of his pronounced muscle anchor points on his skull: a sure sign of a skull-crusher).
When we collected him for the trip home, his parting farewell to the centre was to go ballistic at a Husky that was minding his own business and nowhere near us. "What've let ourselves in for?" I sighed.
Once home, after a quick sniff around, he jumped up onto a cushion on the couch and sat there, proudly, as if to say, "I'm having this! That's me sorted!"
