my Roxy would practically live outside if I would let her
-- even on cold days (I'm in Iowa
) - she will sit out there and shiver some days - and I'll have to insist she comes in. The saving grace is I have a safe fenced in backyard, so I don't have to be out there with her - but once it gets nice & I have to go to work, it will be the biggest fight in the morning to get her to come in, so I can go to work -- when I first got the yorkies, I worked from home & she got used to being out there as much as she wanted - chasing squirrels
