Toni and I discuss (argue) this constantly. She does not want them to go outside for fear of fleas and other deadly monsters but what I see is that when I take them into the backyard with me they absolutely LOVE it. Sasha starts running full speed in circles and is having the time of her life. They constantly play in the house but they cannot run like they do in the yard. Their olfactory senses are on overtime out there. Max does mark while we are out there. It is so funny because after the 2nd marking he is bone dry but he still walks around and lifts his leg in 5 more spots! We take them for walks but they are not allowed to run on the leash so it is not the same. The choice is your but I vote for letting them outside. There are flea/worm medicines to protect them.
