I have 2 outside goats
It is freezing here and snowy, and I am NOT bringing them inside!
We had an outside dog (lab) for a long time and he was perfectly happy. He was miserable when we brought him in the house. The only reason we rehomed him was because he got to be lonely in the winter months and it was just eating at me, and we could not get another dog, as we met (eh hem, exceeded
) our limit. He was the best though, and if we could have had another dog out there with him, it would have been more ideal.
If someone has an outside dog and provides them with adequate shelter, attention and nourishment, thats great. Some breeds were bred to be outside a lot.
