i have 2 houses (moms and dads) and the dogs at my dads are out quite often, and the one at my moms is a regular outside dog, but shes allowed in the kitchen and the dining room. I take her out for runs every day...shes so spoiled cuz the runs usually end up being from 3-5 hours (i ride beside her on my bike) and we go to the beach every day in the summer (gosh shes so spoiled lol) so shes more outside than inside.
