Dog logic at its best

I know plenty of dogs that live happily outside. Granted, they live on farms, so most dogs here do live outside. As long as the dog is well taken care of and its needs are met, why would living outside make a dog in "poor" condition?

Well we were kinda thinking city life for the dogs outside, sleeping on the streets, etc. but you're right, farmhouses for a dog is a perfectly suitable place, especially of it has a doghouse.

Keeping dogs off beds and furniture helps curb a mindset of aggression and dominance. It doesn't happen with all dogs. It's a judgement call.

its hard to lose a pet.

Extremely

You have my condolences. <333
