Why is she lazy? Would a visit to the vet be in order to make sure nothing hurts?
Oh it's just her personality, she gets this way. She was just at the vet a week or 2 ago and got a clean bill of health. She's was having zoomies in my room earlier today. Sometimes she gets random lazy patches, I think it's partly her being like "I don't want to do this so I'm gonna pretend I'm oh so tired"
How old is the pyr?
2 years 3 months

Oh okay. I asked bc I had a Newfie in one of my classes kind of like that but much younger. I noticed as I watched him that sometimes his head would drop as he stepped on one front leg and I thought maybe he had a thorn in his paw. On examination I couldn't find anything, but he kept doing it so I pulled him and just had his owner watch. The following week, same thing. I flexed all his joints and felt for swelling and heat all the way up, but found nothing. The third week I advised a visit to the vet. Turned out he had dysplasia in both shoulders and needed surgery. Fortunately the owner's husband was a local surgeon and could afford it! But since your Pyr is adult, not likely this is the case. Just brought back a memory. His name was Mac the Newf, lol.

Aw poor thing. I'm glad they were able to get him surgery

I wish we ran into dogs on our walk today. We were so prepared. I brought tons of yummy yummy treats including some he’s never had before (we got a little tiny sample bag of some fancy air dried food the other day LOL) and he was MUCH more engaged. 🤣🤣🤣 he kept stopping walking/sniffing to come up to me and look me in the eye or just follow along very closely LOL I had to literally tell him to “go sniff” 🤣😭 I did reward some of the eye contact though and even tried heeling a tiny bit LOL he was great at first but when we tried again later, he seemed to think he needs to stop and sit in order to give eye contact. Like he can’t or won’t do it while walking. 🤣😭🤦‍♀️ not a huge deal for us though. He was MUCH better even just walking and I really feel we would’ve made progress IF we ran into doggies LOL
