Sparky loves being outside, but only on his terms and if the weather is nice. If I let him run loose, then I have to be outside with him, since he likes to wander. If he really insists on staying out, I will put him on a lead, but then he just sits and looks at the door - waiting for me to come turn him loose.

Myndi absolutely hates being outside regardless of the weather. Today it's raining, and I actually had to pick her up and put her little fuzz-butt out to do her business. The quicker she can do what she has to do, and get back in the house, the better she likes it. She's always like that.

They used to have a nice big fenced in play yard (about 12x20) off the deck, with a tree growing right in the middle for lots of shade, and I would put them out there when the weather was nice, just so they could get some fresh air and enjoy all the sights. Ha! - they acted like they were being punished and would sit by the gate until I would open it to let them back in the house.

So the useless play yard fence got torn down - it was a pain to mow the grass around it!
