Is Ceebers *crated* in the garage, or free to roam?
Is the new kennel & run next to the garage?
If so - how about a Dawggie Door to let him pick for himself - inside or out?
Ceebers has an exercise pen in our garage that offers about 20 sq feet of space for him to move around in. He watches discovery Channel and Animal Planet too! Its soo funny when dog shows are on, he just sits and watches for hours!

Awwwwww, he's such a handsome boy!!!:) What a smile! And did you REALLY mean to say that husband's came before the dog??;) Just kidding! But they truly are such amazing, devoted, loving "best friends!!" Sounds like you have a real gem there! My yellow Labbie Star sends happy butt wiggles and slurpy kisses!

This is my favorite picture of when he was a baby....isn't he just a sweet little thing? :)
Look at those feet!!:D Labbie puppies (all puppies!) are just the most precious things, aren't they??? You're giving me puppy pangs!:D
I dunno.. We left Simba in s crazte in the garage, big enough for him to walk around in and we left a fan on for him, because it gets hot in there too. Maybe You could buy your pup a large crate and keep him in the garage or in the house, even better.
there are rotten humans/kids that would enjoy tormenting a kenneled dog, is the proposed kennel in a safe and secure area? also the possiblity of dog theft does exist. dogs also do/can become boredom barkers if they are outside.
I leave Nebo outside during the day. I hope no Pet Talkers think I'm wrong for doing that. :confused:
First of all, I live with my parents, and it is *not* allowed to have a dog running loose in the house when people are gone. I didn't make the rules here. So, either he'd have to be in a crate while I'm at work...where he couldn't really move around/go potty, etc....Or...the other alternative, which he loves...
I have a large (10x14 ft I think) dog run in our backyard. Our backyard is also fenced mostly with wood, so people can't see in it. It's hard to explain, but the way it's situated, at the bottom of a hill, it can't be seen driving on the road. The dog run is covered, with wood, wire, and tarp so it's strong enough for snow (plus it's slanted)...he has an Igloo inside also (not that he uses it :rolleyes: ) Every day when I leave for work I leave some sort of toy like a kong, milkbone ball, etc. with a treat in it and of course there's food and water. He's never even tried to dig out, but I think I'm going to put some bricks around the edge this summer.
He doesn't mind the dog run at all, he goes right in it, and he's usually asleep when I come home from work. Oh, and I have a padlock I put on it when I leave of course! I'd *never* leave him out there w/o it locked. And well, he's a husky, and he honestly enjoys the time outdoors, and with a breed like that, I don't worry about him being cold. Plus he's not a barker, so he doesn't bother the neighbors.
Anyway, I'm kind of rambling on here, lol. If I had my own house, he'd stay inside free (with doors shut lol) during the day, but for now I can't do that. And I think he's happier out there then he would be in a crate...my opinion. He's ALWAYS inside the second I'm home--and he sleeps in my room at night! :) Ok I'll shut up now. I guess my whole point here is that leaving a dog outside would have to depend on the situation and the dog.
