Same as there are people on this board that baby their Yorkies way, way more than I think is necessary. It's almost borderline embarassing sometimes. BUT do they get flamed for it? To each their own...
If someone says to me "what's the big deal... it's just a dog" they are going to catch hell from me because my dogs are my children just as my skinbabies are BUT they are still dogs. You wouldn't put a kid in a crate and call it "good for them" yet we do with dogs. Why? Because they are dogs. I love Tatum and Stormie just as much as all you love yours but we acknowledge that one is "inside dog" and one is "outside dog". Sure, Stormie would love to be "inside dog" too and my husband would really love it but such is not the case. There really is nothing wrong with that.
It's just that the extreme opinion of "no dog outside ever ever" is a little ridiculous. But again, we can agree to disagree.
