Not a big difference between leaving a puppy in a heated living room vs. a heated garage when no one is around. Now is there? If you can proof to me otherwise then please inform me. Yes, people hardly ever visit the garage, but like I said above and in my original post maybe the puppy isn't left in there all the time, maybe it's only when no one is home to supervise the puppy? Did that ever cross your mind at all? We do NOT know for sure if the puppy is out of sight and out of mind all the time like people are ASSUMING unless of course you can tell me YOU are these people's personal secretary... |
I stand by what I said. The only point to having a dog in the garage, heated or with AC, is if that is where you want him/her to live forever. My uncle keeps his two chi mixes in the garage, why? Because they are NOT ALLOWED in the house. Sure, when he and his family are home they spend time with the dogs outside, or in the garage. Don't get me wrong, they are wonderful dogs, obedient with my uncle, and they crack me up when they play with my cousin's slide, but if you bring them inside, everything scared them. They don't know how to act inside a home. The garage thing started as a temporary thing when they were puppies for the same reasons the OP's co-workers claim. Then when they wanted to bring them inside, it turned out to be to much work to teach them to be inside dogs, so the easy way out was to just send them back to the garage when they were done spending time with them. Troy and Weezy are not part of the family, and knowing how the yorkie breed loves to be with their people, I don't think it's fair. Just my opinion.
