Hello,

I have an 8 year old mix daschund and cocker spaniel who does not want to go on walks anymore. She gets all excited when I take out the leash and runs to the front door but by the time we start our walk, she just sits in the pavement and stares at everything. I ask her to keep moving but she won't go or she would get up take a couple of steps and then sit again. I have to tell you, we got her out of the shelter when she was 3 and she had a broken leg that has a metal inside, so she cannot bend that leg. It has not bother her ever, I even took her out for x-rays to see if everything was all right, the vet said that everything was good and there were no signs of arthiritis. Inside the house she plays a lot and even runs but when we go outside, she just sits there and gets up whenever she wants.

When you say 'not anymore' do you mean just lately, during very hot weather, by any chance?
