Jane,

Then, you have made some progress. Our Betsy was 2 when we got her and
we tried for many years to entice her to play, with toys, running and chasing outside for fun and exercise,...but it never worked. And my kids were even very young at the time. She was happy just to be around us and watch the world go by. I could work outside in the yard, with her off leash and it didn't matter who walked by, human or dog, she would just lay by me and watch them and never made a peep; of course, everyone loved her because she was so well behaved. It was easy to come into the house and forget that I had ever brought her outside because she was so quiet.

And her weight was always somewhat of an issue - and like I said, 23 pounds would have been good for her, but she was always around 25, she just was not active and I walked her daily, but as she got older, the distance of her walking became less because of her back problems; so I had to watch the extra treats in helping her stay at a reasonable weight.
