What are they doing indoors!?

What are they doing indoors!?


And what the fuck is wrong with them being indoors?

I've got myself a 115 lb or so Shepherd mix and a 50 or 55 pound Australian Cattle Dog, or Blue Heeler around here. Used to have a 120 lb Black Lab and a 55 or 60 lb Pit Bull/Blue Heeler mix as well. All indoor dogs as much as they wanted to be. They ask when they want in and asked when they want out. If I sit on the floor the Shepard mix sits in front of me then rears up, throws himself back in my arms and expects me to catch him like a baby or something, and so far I always have. He wants to be a lap dog too now that he's seen the smaller one do it.

Why have a dog in the first place if you're just going to leave it out in the weather and never see the thing? They make better pets than lawn ornaments.

Puppies are awesome! A nice rottweiler too.

Upvote . . . I hate myself.

Upvote for the fearless puppy.

And for rottweilers with little hearts around their necks.

one of my relatives had a rottweiler/pit-bull mix, and it was the friendliest dog in the world. I lot of a dogs temperament comes from their environment.

(although some dogs are just through-and-through mean, no matter what. for instance every poodle I've ever seen was a snippy s-o-b)

1:19 = Hey! That's not a teat and I don't have any milk for you, so cut that out.

I agree. I think American culture is insane for thinking that keeping dogs outside is cruel. I had a rottweiler and Siberian Shepperd in Russia. You couldn't even get them to go inside, they hated it! They had a huge insulated dog house, and a huge property to run around in. I mean, keep your dogs inside if you want, especially small ones...but big dogs...nothing cruel about it. And the house wont smell. ANIMALS. They live outside. And people need to let their cats out too. Whats cruel is keeping them indoors. Its like a prison. And no, they aren't lawn ornaments. Maybe if people left their animals outside more, than humans would spend more time out in the sun with them, instead of all getting fat together indoors in front of the tv. Obviously many people don't have a yard, or a fenced yard...fine. but if you do, let you freaking pets enjoy the wind, sun and grass? Its only natural. And don't for one second think its cruel when others do so.

For those who restrict them when conditions aren't suitable, either in or out, I'd agree. Mine go in and out as they please. The average summer daily high temp in this area is near 100 degress F, insulated is the last thing they need and an air conditioned dog house is kinda out of the question. They ask to come in and they are allowed. They ask to go out and they are allowed.

As long as you pay some attention to them and don't neglect them like too many do it's all good. My reaction was more to the idea that they shouldn't be in, it wasn't a suggestion that that's the only place they belong.

Dogs>Cats

Nothing! Ever heard of a dog house?!


Outdoor/indoor has nothing to do with neglecting your dog, like you said.
