She does from time to time but her outdoor activities (playing in the mud and occasionally rolling in cow poop  ) dictate her outdoor living. She does love to play with Tatum (our Yorkie) when she comes outside and that is quite a bit. My husband thinks she gets sad about not being allowed to bring her dirty self inside like Tatum but I think that's because of his desire to have her inside all the time. I personally think she loves it outside (she has LOTS of area to run) and doesn't care that Tatum comes inside. We will be adding to our family with another Aust. Shepherd soon so she'll have a buddy outside too. Maybe if your outside dog had a buddy outside, he wouldn't be jealous of your inside dogs.
Sounds like you just need to weigh your pros and cons a little more. |
Aw, I love Australian Shepherds! I think they are SO beautiful! I would love to own one one day.
