I don't fully understand why, but this has been really upsetting me recently. My gf has a lab mix that is about 2 years old. It has a lot of energy and will play for hours if it has someone or another dog to play with. Overall my gf takes good care of it, but she almost never walks it, like literally probably once per month, even if she has nothing going on. For example, her job is seasonal (think field biology), and it ended about a week ago, and she has just been sitting around her apartment every single day doing nothing but watching dumb movies on Netflix all day long and has not taken her dog on even a 20 minute walk a single time in the last week even though we've been having nice weather for this time of year (50 degrees and sunny). She has talked to me about how she has nothing to do and feels bad about how lazy she has been, but she still will not walk her dog at all or walk herself.
I guess overall this kind of seems even to me like I'm getting upset over something that is pretty trivial, but it just seems absolutely insane to me that someone would sit around their apartment for a week straight and never go outside even to walk their big energetic dog for even 20 minutes on a nice day. I guess it makes me think she's not really that great of a dog owner, which kind of says some things about her, and, as someone who is very active, it makes me feel pretty put off knowing that she is fine staying inside for a week and not even walking at all or going outside to feel sunshine. Just doesn't seem to bode well for our compatibility or the future of her physical or mental health. Again, I know recognize it's all kind of trivial, but it's still bothering me...
