| Re: Transitioning from inside living to outside living...is it advisable? Maybe we can help with reasons 'to keep' the dogs in the house when you discuss this with your boyfriend again. For starters, your 7 year old female, being a senior canine, and arthritis to boot, just wouldn't do well outside. What would she sleep on? the ground? concrete? grass that would soon become wet, muddy, and soggy and smelly? And just basically living on the same footing day after day, I am afraid your female would deteriote very rapidly. Let's not forget the weather neither, hot weather is very dangerous for rotties, they are more susceptible to heat stroke, and cold weather is just as bad, especially for a dog with arthritis problems. This should get you started. I am sure many others can jump in here with more reasons for ya!!
