    My dogs go in and out all day long. They are worse than little kids. I spend half the day opening the door for them.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    Haha! Sounds like my parents household. My mom is up all day just opening the door for her three (Rottie/GSD, Yorkie, and Doxie/Bassett). Sometimes, they come in and want right back out!

    Me too!
    Buddy still wakes me up at night to go out.
    (yes... I know... I know... he has trained me well )
    I wish I could put in a doggie door, but I have stupid neighbors and I have to keep an eye on my dogs all the time to make sure they are not being attacked.

    Kai rings his potty bell when he has to go.. Kaedyn hasn't caught on yet so he just goes out whenever Kai does. He *usually* rings it every 2-3 hours.. but sometimes he'll ring it 10 minutes after he comes back in if he feels like staying outside.

    Yup, Whensver they want. You know how it is, multiple dogs, different potty times, or hear a noise and just have to go out and check it out. With fall here its coat building time now for the collies. Although my Smooth coat Collie Brutus would perfer never to go out sometimes. He's the big baby who likes the comfort of the house. lol

    Payson doesn't go out very often, the main reason is that we don't have a yard to take him out. The other reason is that he hates going outside so we only go out around 4 times a day. However we just sent in a form so that we can build a gate on our patio so hopefully it gets approved so that Payson can have a little yard to hang out on. Plus the weather is finally getting tolerable outside so I think he might enjoy having the patio.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    Oh how cute! I think this calls for a picture of Kai in action!

    Mine are basically outdoor dogs, but come in during the day while I'm working. They let me know they need out by walking around in circles & staring at me. Often I just leave the main door open to the screen door. Sherman opens it with his paw, and Star jumps through a hole she made in the screen. Dad's supposed to put in a real doggie-door soon. (before the snow flies, I hope!)
