Their minds and bodies are strengthened by the entertainment of the passing bird or talkative squirrel and take every opportunity to run and play. The indoor dogs and cats can be helped with exercise time too. Schedule a daily time for a walk or play with a toy to stimulate their muscles and quicken their minds.
