I keep my dogs in the house for a few different reasons;
1, I like to know that they are safe indoors, especially with all the thieving that has been going on.
2, Even with 3 kids, the house feels empty without a dog indoors, I hated it when I ran my first dog over and the house was empty.
3, They aren't bad guard dogs and let me know when someone is snooping around outside. Which is also good when I'm working away as it is a bit of security for my wife.
Dogs indoors suit me better but if I had anymore than the 2, I would have to put them in the Kennel or my wife leave me! Every dark
