Are your dogs allowed indoors?

[cyber-sibes]

Mine are indoor/outdoor. They can spend their days inside with me in my workspace unless they want to stay outside - which they often do. As Star gets older, she spends more time indoors overall. I often let them stay indoors to sleep, too, but they seem to prefer to go out in any weather except rain. I think they get too warm inside. They like to sleep outdoors on the lawn furniture, and both have cozy igloos inside the garage they can get to thru a dog door.

Niño is an inside dog but he loves the yard and is allowed out or in whenever he wants. Summers he usually insists on staying outside several hours a day though.

Our dogs are all inside dogs. Duke and Champ have a doggie door with free access to our fenced in back yard at all times so they come in and out as they please. They love to lie outside in the sun on nice days. Chopper only goes out if someone is with him because he is so small.

Duke is indoor only. I couldn't keep any dog outside espacially in winter where it's freezing and snowy. I think that would be cruel.

My two are indoor dogs. Outside time for potty and play only.

Yes, and I wouldn't have it any other way. My current dog and future dogs will ALWAYS be living indoors and will ALWAYS be supervised by someone trusted outdoors. I WILL never leave my dogs outside alone after what happened to my mom's friends dog. He was stolen right out of the backyard and never found.

All three of our boys are allowed inside. Infact, they are inside a bit too much at times! I will always have my dogs inside, and couldn't imagine it any other way for myself.

Hopefully I won't be eaten alive for saying this, but I believe a dog can be outside all the time and still be just as happy. It all depends on the location and the dog itself. I know a dog who prefers to be outside 24/7 rather than inside a house at all... and this is one of the most spoiled and happy dogs I have ever met. He's 10 years young and guards cattle owned by my uncle. He doesn't have any fences or boundaries, just acres upon acres of land to run until his heart is content. He's mean as a snake to anyone who isn't family so we don't have to worry about him much.

Mine are indoors only. Tyson loves it outside.. and at my mom's He spent a lot of time outside *cause we had a doggy Door* But, he dug in the yard.. BAD.. and so did Falise, so we had to close the doggy Door. I lived in a very Country area for a year with Tyson, and the Trailer we lived in .. didn't allow us to have any pets inside. So he had to Live on a chain I HATED IT.. so I snuck him in at night :-) Even tho the Dbl bed barly fit in the room! lol We had to sit on the bed to get into the Closet! So.. He slept with us in bed! lol

I think working dogs are an exception. Working dogs are dogs with a job. They earn their keep and are very happy. The kind of outside dog I don't agree with are the dogs kept on chains(who deemed this acceptable??) or the dogs shoved in the backyard and thrown food. Never leaving the yard.
