My dogs have no complaints that they live outside either. Since you know so much about this topic you tell me how I'm supposed to take three dogs that have lived outside all of their lives with free rein to go where they want and put them inside and make them stay there all day; i'm talking from 7:30 am - 6:30 pm by themselves...woo wee that sounds like fun, I'm sure they will just love laying in the house watching tv all day instead of being out in the sunshine so they can go swim in our pond, or go rest under a big shade tree...maybe i should hire a baby sitter to come over and watch them too! This is getting ridiculous, you know your dogs and I know mine and i'm telling you they don't want to stay in the darn house and i'm not going to move them in, they have their own house and don't need to live in mine. What do you mean dogs don't need acres??? Sure they do, that way they don't get run over by cars or stolen by someone who doesn't have anything better to do. And when it comes to my allergies and my step sons, you don't know either of us or the heck that we've been through getting his allergies under control that are 110% worse than mine; so you don't have to try and get personal with me and I would appreciate it if you didn't. Tell ya what, how about you just don't reply to me since you don't have anything kind to say.
