I'm sure this question has been asked many times but I hadn't seen any threads on it so figure I would ask

I'm kinda in a toss up about outside only pets. That being dogs, cats, you know the normal house pets.

I understand that it would be tough to have an inside horse or cow and these are known as pets also so just trying to clarify

I know that when I was young our family had a GSD that just hated to be inside for any lenght of time. She loved to just lay outside and soak up the sun and enjoy what was going on around her outside. She would come in and after about 5 min would be whining to go back outside.

So what are everyones thoughts?
