My Dad was the same way....dogs belonged OUTSIDE period. No acceptions. I tried to visit my parents a couple of times with my 2 Yorkies.....then I gave up. I refused to abuse them by leaving them outside in the heat (summer) or cold (like Christmas). I didn't see my Dad for years....because he would not come to my home either....I mean gosh...DOGS lived here.
We were at an impass I wouldn't leave my dogs...and Dad would not allow them to visit. Finally after about 3 or 4 years....he decided he
had to accept my dogs or he was never going to see his daughter again. Then an amazing thing happened....he fell in love with the Yorkies. Once he gave himself a chance to get to know the Yorkies...he WANTED them to visit. Good luck!
