Suzy, a Big dog in a little dog body.

In summer, I take Suzy to a small park. I put on a 50 foot leash which gives her the chance to run more or less whet she wants to. She does better than I do!!

I make sure we are near a shaded area to she can lie down and catch her breath. I carry a small water container so she can get some when she wants it. My observation is that Suzy will usually let me know when she wants to lie down and rest for a bit, and when she wants some water.

The Coton is an absolutely wonderful breed!!
