Just remember a sentence a very smart person told me once when I was upset over something I thought my DOG was going to miss.....
"Humans humanize our pets...dogs are actually dogs...they are like a 3 month old baby....what they dont know, they dont miss..."

No truer words ever spoken! It is US that enjoy running in fields, hair blowing in a fresh breeze....because we have done that! If that tiny little dog has never set foot in your back yard, it does not know that back yard, it has never read about that back yard, it hasnt talked to others that have been there and enjoyed it.....if that tiny little dog has only stretched his little 2 inch long legs in your home, that is all it knows and all it looks forward to doing! If that baby has been on your covered concrete patio, and smelled the fresh air as he ran from one end of that patio to the other, THAT is what he know and what he will miss.....if he runs around the back yard, gets stung by a bee and it almost kills him, THAT is what he knows and what he will miss, I dont happen to believe that is something I would want to have repeated just so that tiny little dog can be outside. That baby will not miss running thru the grass, to get stung by a bee....
