| I Need Opinions??? Are there any of you that have Yorkies that never go out? I mean like on the ground? I have 2 little boys...I also have extreme allergies....My boys were being peepad trained...But someone guilted me into thinking they needed to start going out like real dogs....So this past week, I started taking them out to potty...They liked it....But my allergies are now kicking me in the a$$....So going outside is not an option anymore...At least for us....Don't get me wrong, I take them everywhere, just their feet never hit the ground.... Hubby says no more outside...That it is just not worth it... I guess I am justy feeling a little guilty that they can't go out and play in the yard...Of course, they never missed it til I introduced it to them...They played great inside...

| as long as they are getting ample exercise i dont' see why not.. i might be a bit concerned that they aren't getting fresh air but i'm sure your husband can bring them out every day for 5-10 min?? |

| My little shih tzu will be 10 in March, she never actually went out until we got the yard fenced a few mos. back. They are pee pad trained, I let them out for about 10 min. every night, more or less to get them fresh air..don't feel guilty about it, little dogs have more room to run in the house than a big dog.. |

| When they get in the grass and I pick them up , I get the grass...And that is when I get sick... I understand about the fresh air...I am the same way...I need fresh air too...In small doses...lol...That is why I am looking for a stroller to take them out in.... When I take my grandbaby out for walks in her stroller...I let the boys ride in the cargo area...They love it... Also, we do take them for car rides...And let the wind hit them in the face....They love it...lol...They will throw up and then they are great.... Go figure...Hope they will outgrow that part... They also go just about everywhere I go...

| I guess I am not the only furbaby lover who does not let their baby get on grass. I thought I was making Rockie miss out on something But its good to know he is not the only one who does not go on grass. |

| This has been one of the worst years for allergies in dogs..you are doing fine with them..mine survived for over 9 years never going outside..you should have seen her the first time she put her feet in the grass, she walked around like she was on pins and needles, she had no clue as to what grass was.. |

| I'm sorry about your allergies, that must be so aggravating Maybe you could get your kiddos a stroller, so you can take them for walks without tracking allergens inside? You could wipe the wheels down before bringing the stroller back inside. I just ordered one for my babies, as we weren't allowed on the playing field at my daughter's soccer game yesterday. Let them stop me with the girls in the stroller HAH! They'll have a discrimination lawsuit on their hands
