Boo-Boo waddles as well and weighs slightly over 4lbs (or did last vet visit). Our
neighborhood has too many animals that get out of their yards, etc. around here to
safely take him out to walk down the sidewalk, and the driveway is unsafe because
it's an apartment building (only 4 apartments, though), and we share a drive with
the house next door and they drive like psychos and rarely watch where they're
going. But we've been trying to let him run around the living room more often, but
it's hard at times because of the dogs. Right now it's the only way we can think of
to get him to exercise more.
