6 of my 7 dogs prefer being inside. but Ladybug is the oddball out, we had to set up a shelter and everything outside for her, because she HATES coming in the house, I actulayy have to go outside take her collar and walk her in the house because she will NOT come inside on her own. she was so miserable when we kept insisting on trying to make her an inside dog, that finally we said fine, and set her up a shelter a water dish, outdoor carpets for her to lay on etc.. Ladybug and I have a comprmise at night..she sleeps inside, but only in the crate or on the couch..she wanted to sleep outside, I wanted her to sleep in my room with everyone else..I gave up and made that comprimise with her when she tried to climb out my window! I also make her come in when the weather is bad, but she sure doesnt like it!. this is what prompted this poll, I am not used to dogs that want to stay outside so badly, I mean Shadow prefered outside too, but nothing anywhere near this extreme! she was just as happy in the house as she was outside.
