All of my babies are inside babies :) - well except when Roscoe has to go potty, we let him out for that ;)
Everybody lives indoors!
Whenever I tell 'non-animal people' that I have five dogs their first question is ALWAYS -- they don't all live in the house do they? Of course they do! I wouldn't have it any other way.
I only have one cat that partially lives outside, well in the garage anyway. Everyone else lives inside. I have been known to fall asleep before letting the dogs in after potty break and boy do they let me know it. Ever had 5 howling dogs outside your window?
All my pets are inside and i wouldn't have it any other why. :D I have had outside/inside cats when i was young and will never do it again.
Inside, I would not have it any other way. Of course the dogs have a fenced backyard they go in often but they are all in the house while we are not home, at night, and most other times unless they want outside because they need to go potty or they want to run around.
Not trying to offend anyone, but I am a firm believer that dogs need time inside with their families, it makes me very sad when I see dogs that live outside 24/7. :(
My cats are always indoors, and Chester just goes out to exercise/go potty :)

my garage Some days I think that's the only time he gets any attention
at all. Oh, they feed him & he has a house, but nobody to just talk to him. :(
Well since i live on a farm, most of mine are outdoors!! Except the fish, turtles, rabbits, and Duke my dog!!
Voted wrong poll. I voted most of my animals are outdoors, but I shouldn't voted most of my pets are indoors. All of my animals except for the ducks live inside.
all indoors
Kari, Smores, Toivo and Kodiak are in my room
Doodles, Checkers, and puddin are in a room adjacant to mine
2 more fish in the dining room
Happy, Misty, Electra, Blair, Perky and Ripley are all strictly indoor dogs, they go outside alone only for potty breaks, though Happy recently got left outside alone for 2 hours when my mom forgot to make sure she was inside(she's sneaky) and thought I was going to be home from work in the next 30 minuts or so when I wasnt going to be home for another 2 hours lol
My pets are inside always..kwap!! I accidently hit all outdoors..sorry! :rolleyes:
All of mine are indoors. =)
The birds, mice, rats, hamsters, and most of the fish stay in my room most of the time. Door shut so as the cats and dogs can't torment them.
My sister's ferret and two of my mice are in the basement, where she lives.
The 29g tank is in the living room.
And the dogs and cats all get free roam of most of the house.
My dogs are indoor dogs and I wouldn't have it any other way (nor would they).
You should see the looks I get when people find out all 24 dogs have house access! (Plus the nine indoor only cats!)Quote:

Some of them choose to use their house privledges more than others, but at some point they are all indoors.
Ooops i voted all outside by accident.. make that 1 more for all inside.
Of course everyone spends time outside, especially if it is nice and sunny but not too hot ;).
Buffy is indoor, except when she has to go out to potty. The two cats, Grover, and Oscar are both indoor all the time. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Willie :)
All of mine are inside.
Inside!!!
(Heck... Bud doesn't even go out to potty EVERY time! :o :mad: :o :mad: )
I feel so bad for dogs that are left outside and forgotten about.
I tear up everytime I see one.
My husband is working in West Virgina and the house next door had a Female GSD that was left out on a chain all the time. She had fresh food and water all the time, but also had 3 kids running past her playing in the yard all the time and she would bark and cry while they were playing. All she wanted was attention. Oh it broke my hubby's heart! So he were throw her ice cubes or crackers or whatever he had. Then I gave him dog treats to give to her, he was ready to ask the people if he could take her! Then she was cleaned up one day, bathed... groomed. Looking good! Then she was gone! :eek:
My hubby had overheard her telling someone that she gave her to a family that had a huge yard and had the time to spend with her that she needed!
People that have dogs and just leave them in pens or tied up and have no interaction with them should not have dogs!
i have a hamster, turtle, and 3 dogs inside. My other 15 dogs are outside. But that shouldn't make anyone sad. I've tried to put a few of them inside and they absoulutely HATED it. Didn't want anything to do with it. Anyway we are a mostly outdoor type of family so they get LOTS of attention. ;) I'm almost always outside sitting with them and talking to them and playing with them.
My rodent gang are all inside pets :)
Rats are inside
Fish are inside
Axolotyl is outside
Dog is outside but gets to come in as well, he likes being outside specially in summer (too hot in the house)
Cat is outside, she hates being inside, only comes in to eat and have a quick smooch then she howls til she's allowed out
I don't mind people having outdoor pets as long as they are not just shoved out there and forgotten

I couldn't agree more with this statement from Amy. Daisy and Delilah allow me to use the house occasionally ;)
PiddyBob goes inside and outside as she pleases. the dogs and bunny stay inside.
ALL of my pets are inside. Sassy of course isn't always inside, she goes out for excerise and playtime. Star isn't EVER going outside, even inside her cage. There are to many things to worry about. Mosquitoes, bugs, spiders, hawks, ect. She is never going outside. Of course, the fish are inside since they are only bettas and since we don't have a pond. :o
All in my home except for Nuria, she lived 5 miles away in a big pen with 1/2 sheltered and plenty of water at a farm. (she's a calf)
I agree totally with that. I hate to see dogs outside all lonely with no one wanting to talk or play with them. A lot of people get on my case because most of mine are outside. They just don't understand that i'm outside with them almost all day. They love to "help" with the yardwork. And if its raining i sit on the porch with them and get nice little (and big) muddy paw prints all over me. It just upsets me when people get mad because my dogs don't come inside. They just don't understand how things work here. They've never been here. But i totally agree with you, you shouldn't just forget about your outside dogs. Thats sad. :(Quote:

I have a 100% inside cat, but a slightly different problem. My best friend takes her cat outside on the balcony - the cat wears a leash when she goes outside. My nephew's cat is allowed to go out on the screen porch without his leash, but "outside outside" he must wear it. My sister used to have two cats and they would crowd the door trying to get outside. I think I have the only kitty on earth who does not like to go outside! For example: I go out on the balcony and close the screen door behind me. When she hears the screen door close, she will come and sit with her nose 1 cm away, smelling the fresh air, keeping an eye on the clouds and leaves and whatever else is happening outside. She will sit just inside the screen door as long as I'm out on the balcony. If I open the door and try to coax her out with toys or treats, she hides under the sofa. I've carried her outdoors a couple of times, set her on a beach towel for a thorough combing during a major shedding and then carry her back inside- she will accept that. I know she lived under a porch early in her life, and the family that owned the house got her out from under there and into a no-kill shelter, which is how I got her. She will spend hours inside the open screen door on a nice day, just watching the trees and clouds and smelling the air. Should I buy a pet stroller? Should I just accept that she'll always be an indoor cat? Thank you from Cassie's Purr-sonal Servant in Illinois
Every single one of em are indoors. Although when he can Bobo slips out of the door and gets loose but always comes back.
