Come on, Louie-in or out.. We love standing at the door playing in-or-out.. .. Although I noticed the game doesn't last as long and winter as it does in summer. Slam
My dachshund does a great high-speed reverse when he puts his nose out and it’s too cold or wet out there for his liking – he doesn’t dither on the doorstep.
Spot,like Louie, likes the cold,snow,etc. He lays in a snow bank and disappears. Then,i have to dry him before he comes back inside. ’Eh,keeps me moving. :) Peace.
My dog (chow/retriever mix as far as we can tell) prefers the in AND out game, heavily skewed toward out. This morning (low 30s; dusting of snow on the ground), she was outside for about 3 hours and wanted to come in. She came in for less than a minute, then went to sit by the back door again. I’m guessing that if we had a doggie door, she’d spend a few minutes inside a day – pop in every hour or so to see where we are and perhaps grab a drink of water or a bite of food, then back out again. I don’t know if she’d choose to sleep inside or outside, but I’m guessing the odds are pretty good that she’d opt to sleep outside most nights.

Discretion is the better part of Valor, or something like that.

Hello All;
I lived in the mountains on a ranch. I had 2 German Shepherds and a Coyote (rescue).
I put in a doggy door so they could come and go as they please.
I put a sign above the door: “Dog Only!” and a picture of an AK-47.
Didn’t have any problems with 2-legged visitors. :-)
