[Ellie May]

Ellie is an inside dog (she spends most of her time inside and NEVER EVER sleeps outside unless she is camping with the family or whatever). She is not allowed outside unsupervised.

I can't imagine having strictly an indoor dog. Perhaps in the rare case that a pup is extremely immunocompromised, etc. and can't go out, that would be fine. Dogs are almost entirely wolves. They need to go out. It isn't necessary for their physical health as long as they can be exercised inside, but IMO it is important for their psychological well being. My girl is allowed to be outside, walk in the grass, etc. She is not allowed to go near dead animals or eat bugs.
