    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?

    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 dogs and cats live indoors. This makes me sad to. There is a young
    male pitbull on a long chain in his yard. It's a fenced yard. but he is still
    on a chain. I talk to him every day while I out working around
    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.

    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.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    You should see the looks I get when people find out all 24 dogs have house access! (Plus the nine indoor only cats!)

    My dogs are outside during the day, except if they are sick. Seniors are allowed to choose and can stay indoors all day if they want to. Being a senior around my house comes with "Geezer Privledges". Geezer dogs and cats get away with much more than young ones! The dogs have house access when I am home to supervise. No huskies allowed unsupervised in the house in order to protect the cats! Some of them choose to use their house privledges more than others, but at some point they are all indoors.

    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.

    Inside!!!
    (Heck... Bud doesn't even go out to potty EVERY time! )
    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!
    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.

    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
