>> No backyard cookouts, no sitting on the deck, you'll go to the park less frequently.
Hey, when some people think of the outdoors they think of a communal BBQ in the apartment quad. When some people think "park" they see green grass. When they think 'walk the dog' they mean go to a fenced acre with sections for small/medium dogs. Such people are urban dwellers who probably shouldn't venture past city limits.
But some of us own labradors, huskies or even wolfhounds. Walking them means a car ride to a river with a few miles to run. When we think "park" we think Zion or Jasper ... not Central. Some people like to rollerblade to the corner starbucks with their Havanese dog on a retractable leash. I prefer to save my coffee money and spend it on a proper car to haul me, my canoe and my chocolate lab to a river beside a mountain.
Remember the old Nissan commercials: Dogs_love_trucks.
I've seen many labs and huskies at my local dog park. I myself own a rather active breed dog who I keep occupied with long walks in town and visits to dog parks. You don't need to go out into the woods to take long walks or runs.
