Something Could Be Terribly Wrong

[Roxyluvsme13]

Is there no way to leave Roxy outside unchained? I have seen dogs become used to living outside, and, don't enjoy being indoors. But, dogs are adaptive creatures, they get to used to a lot of things that aren't necessarily good. But, at this point, she probably does prefer to stay outside. Is your yard fenced or anything? Or could a dog kennel be put up? One that would allow her to be chain free...her water and food could be kept in there and her dog house, as well. Does her dog house have a wind blocking device or flap or something over the door? That would help keep it a little drier and warmer if there isn't one. I realize that getting her indoors all the time isn't going to happen, and as long as you give her shelter and enough exercise and love and food and water, then, she's got it better than a lot of other dogs. That doesn't mean I'm agreeing with the situation. Just trying to come up with other ideas...So, what do you guys do with her when she does come inside for bad weather?

We dont have a fence and We cant buil d a kennel bcus we dont own the land or house...her dog house does not have a window flap, although i think i can convince my mom to get one, when she comes inside, she stays in our laundry room, with newspaper down, (its a small room) with her water bowl...then in the morning i take her out to pee, because she refuses to poop inside, and then she'll be chained if the weather is good, if not she will be taken back into the laundry room
EDIT if i dont reply asap its because im bathing tink

Ok, I gotcha. Well, the best you can do, then, is just make sure she has a good, comfortable collar and chain...and, just do your best as far as giving her the attention she needs and the exercise she needs. And, for a window flap, it doesn't have to be fancy, just a piece of flimsy plastic that you can probably find somewhere and just nail it to the top of the opening of the dog house. It just has to be something that she can push easily with her nose...even just a towel or blanket over it would be better than nothing. And, be sure to keep blankets and old towels in there with her when it's cooler. Can she always access her dog house while chained? I'm not angry at you, I hope you know that, and, when you're done bathing Tink, you should walk Roxy. Just try not to forget she's there, sometimes that can happen when you have a new puppy, especially when she's allowed indoors and the other isn't. Good luck with everything.
