Pets inside house

liah

Well apparently I'm weird then. Back home in Canada we always had two or three massive dogs and they ALWAYS slept with me on my bed and were very much indoor dogs (except for walks, obviously-- no leashes, acres of countryside, heaven for 'em).

I don't really get people who keep their animals outside. Wtf is the point in having them at all, then?

All the costs, none of the benefits... what is there to understand about that? :P

Excuse me, but my Pug is indoors 90% if the time, and with some daily routines my place is spic and span.

Jesus....my dog ain't half as bad as a child. Nephew was here for 1 hour last weekend and I'm still scraping the chocolate of my sofa....now THATS disgusting.

Kids in outdoor kennels ftw...

Exactly! why get them?! I have one neighbour who has a jack russell that has never once been in the house. That poor dog has been stuck in a concrete back yard since he was a puppy. It's awful, they're pack animals so can you imagine how this dog feels being alone all the time. They don't even look at him when they go out to feed him...

2 cats. They have their own beds but she sometimes (wait, actually fecking all the time!?) sleeps at the end of my bed.

I don't hesitate to leave them outside if they aren't at the door when I'm going to bed though. They can handle themselves against the neighbourhood bully black cat.

i feel sad for that dog, they do not appreciate it all.i have 3 jack russell, and they need heat and warmth also company, they love the heat and if they happen to be outside in garden when it is starting to rain, the will cry and bark at door to come in, i keep them in house, their bedsare near the radiator, these beds are fluffy lined for extra warmth,jack russell dogs feel the cold, and the more white colouring there is on the dog, the more they feel the cold,

I've been hearing a lot of people then going one step further and bringing their dogs to bed with them; either at the end of the bed or on the bed itself, sleeping inbetween the couple?

I dont know if I'm the weirdo and if this is seen as normal or cute?

OCD tbh. You bring in bacteria from outside too.

Have three cats. Don't mind them sleeping on our bed at all - I love having house animals, i can't quite grasp the point of having a pet that lives his life outdoors away from the family. I love nothing more than watching TV when I'm home with the two dogs nestled in beside me. Cats are extremely clean anyway - dogs aren't quite as much, but that doesn't stop my parents allowing their dogs to sleep under the covers. Every night now, for 8 years.

My friend knew that a dog near him was being mistreated so after a drunken night out he plucked up the courage to dognap him from the offenders back garden ( I don't condone dognaping but here it was a forgivable offence). MacGyver now lives a very happy and spoiled life with my friend and his family. Happy ever after :D

Was minding my sisters mut over the weekend, woke up Saturday morning and found it asleep in one of the beds, I was quick to show it a size 9.

Posy

My cat sleeps on the end of my bed sometimes, he's lovely and warm... and cleaner than some who've slept in it! :P

What would the OP do if they had children? What if one 'had an accident' in their bed? Or if one got head lice from school? Or came in from playing outside with MUD on their SHOES?

THE HORROR. :eek:

My dog has no problem licking my face after he's just licked his balls. He's OK with that. I'm OK with that.

We're both still alive.

comparing your dogs to weapons is just reinforcing the steriotype.

I keep my hamster in the microwave & my cat in a wheelie bin.

I would've sold the dogs, you don't need to feed guns and they don't s**t everywhere
