exercise

Mattie, my 3 year-old female, is a wonderful little girl! We recently moved from TX to CT. She HATED the snow! Now that the weather is nice, I'm having trouble finding parks that allow dogs. (In TX we walked several miles every night)Also, each neighborhood I've tried to walk in seems full of loose, large dogs and I end up snatching her up and heading home quickly. My question is that even though she's getting no exercise, she won't play with me for long. I try to get her involved in a game or new toy but she seems to tire of playing with me quickly and just wants to be petted. When she's feeling restless, she just gets a good game of chase going with my Aussie male (he can never catch her). I'm wondering why she won't play with me for more than a few minutes at a time? She just quits chasing the ball or whatever toy we have and curls up on me to pet her. I'm still on a hunt for a safe place to walk my dogs, but until then, we're stuck with yard and indoor games and I'd like to get her involved. Any suggestions?
