[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, you city people have pretty strange thoughts about dogs.  You realize they are meant to be outside, right?  And this crating trend...you honestly think that it's better to keep a dog in a cage like a bird?  The thing I would most be concerned about is barking and your neighbors.[/quote]

This![/quote]

OP back again, wow, I guess I am far too countrified for DC dog owners. Geez. I mentioned that our dog would only be a rescue dog because I wanted to explain that any pet I have will not be some designer dog that is likely to get stolen. Over the years, the pets my family had growing up included two 3-legged dogs that were going to be put down by kill shelters, a sweet coonhound shepherd mix that everyone else called mangy and butt ugly, and one other dog that a dog their would ever thing of taking becaue he looked more wolf than dog, even thigh he was sweet as pie.

I am not the type of dog owner that would leave a dog outside all day everyday 12 months out of the year. But, it if is spring/fall, and I was a dog, I think I'd rather be outside than cooped up. In my family, we have aways trained dogs well enough that we haven't needed to crate train, by the way, i think that keeping a dog in a cage all day is inhumane.  far more inhumane than a dog being outside, in nature, on a temperate day! We can agree to disagree, I suppose. I still think doggy daycare is a bit absurd. [b]If one is away from home so much that one needs to pay for daycare, then maybe you should not have a dog. [/b]

If one is away from home so much that the dog needs to be outdoors, by itself, unattended, then maybe you should not have a dog.[/quote]
