I find the question of, should a dog be an out side or one to keep inside. A little strange in a way. After all look at the different kinds of dogs. Big dogs, little dogs. And then the tiny ones that never get big.

I have had doggies most of my life. Some are just born for out side. If you have this kind, please be kind to him, or her. Make sure that they have a warm place in the winter. Don't give your children a pet dog unless you make sure they learn that it needs to eat, and have water the same as they do.I have seen them go home with people that mean well at the time. The cute little puppy starts growing up fast. The children have other things to do. The Mom and Dad have to work. Soooo, the oversize dog that was time a cute playful puppy is tied up out side, sometimes with out water. And when winter sets in, the poor dog sits outside in the cold.

I have had both big and small dogs. I loved each one. We made sure that they where warm in the winter and had a cool place in the summer. In the heat of the day I took the hose and wet down a place that would be in the shade and be much cooler. My son has a Great Dian. He is getting old now, but has been much loved, in the family. The life of the Great Dian is around seven to eight years. He is now foreteen. He has been well treated and loved by his family and also his Grandma and Grandpa. My heart broke when we lost our Muffin. She was small. It has been almost Eight months. While looking on the E-Net I ran across this tiny little dog. The people just lived around fifty miles from us. Yes". we now have a new member we call Angel. " In other words" Different dogs need to be outside, if that is what you want. Just remember they have hunger, and need water, and lots of love, just like we do. I think we will have to answer to God about how we treated our animals, that he entrusted into our care.  I know my little Angel will not have to stay out in the cold or, the heat. And she will not be left inside a hot car. That's another big no no. She will only be about five too six pounds.Full grown. I do hope what I have saidwill help in some way. If you don't care for pets, don't get one!.
