that let there animals just wander around,
its like almost 9pm if it isnt already
well yeah it is, there is the cutest
little tiny dog sniffing around my front
yard, they dont have a collar on the poor
thing, i know who it belongs to to but i
cant go over to there house since igot 2
kids in bed, so im hoping they know there
little squirts out loose running around,
wich isnt good considering it doesnt have
a collar on it at all, they have another
bigger dog i think a pittbull, they let
them out to run around, the boy has came
over to get his small dog before it was
around my front yard, but ugh i dontget
why people just cant keep there pets
inside there house or on a leash or at
least a collar, and not let em run loose
around the neighborhood.

Depends on the animal.
I think it's really cruel to keep cats
inside. And people who declaw their cats
piss me off. Poor cats need to be active
and hunt. Although both my cats have
collars and microchips, so I guess they
should be indentified.
well she was still in my backyard and my
dog almost got mean with her so i brought
her in the house then just got the house
key and rand over to there house really
quick, the kids answered the door, the boy
didnt look like he really liked the dog,
and the girl was excited to get him back,
its name is cocoa. They didnt even know he
was outside running about.
How do you now know your dogs not in your
huose? makes no sense to me at all.
that dog was sooo adorable, he prob
weighed about 3lbs im thinking, sucha
cute lil thing, i wouldnt be lettign my
collarless dog run free. All dogs have to
be registered on base though too, if your
in base housing.

yeah all dogs in my neighborhood have to
be up to date on shots and kept up with on
shots to live ijn lakeway
we live in a "gated community" so they
are pretty strict about shots/rabies and
stuff
which i think is a good thing
that poor little puppy im glad you helped
it and it didnt get run over or anything!
yeah, those people seemed like they didnt
particularly like there dog, well the girl
did she was probably like 12 or something
, im guessing it is her dog, her brothers
i heard before he opened the door, its
cocoa, like he knew. I wouldnt have
bothered really, but it was in the
backyard and audrey was trying to fight
with it and she outweighs it by alot lol.
I didnt want her to hurt him. plus its
like 9:30 at night when i went ringing
there doorbell.

Letting my cats out is all that stops them
from taking their frustrations out on me
and my feet. It is cruel to keep them
inside.
my moms cat used to go outside, but he
would come home , but one day he got out
and never came back but she thinks he was
at an animal haven and got adopted out
because there was a cat there that entered
around the time ours got out and matched
the description but someone adopted it,
but they said it was a good family. SO ya
gotta be careful.

You did such a good thing! I would have
been so afraid the the little dog could
hav gotten hurt by a big dog or even a
human as someone could have not seen it
and hurt it by falling on it or
accidentally kicking it. I probably would
have done the same thing, I don't care too
much for people who do not take care of
there animals!
ya thats what i was afraid of, plus there
are wild boars and they have been known to
come into the neighborhood at night. That
poor lil thing woulda gotten eaten up, he
was to tiny and could easily get hit by a
car or get stuck somewhere, he had such
short itty bitty legs lol, he could lift
his lef to pee on a peice of grass, haha
my grass is incredibly long when its
almost as tall as this tiny lil thing
haha. i picked him up and ran over tehre
in my socks and left my door cracked open
and took the keys in case it shut. My
socks got wet though, it was shorter to go
the back way to get to there house through
the grass. BUt man that lil thing is just
soooooooooooo cute i love it lol. cocoa
doesnt fit this dog though, hes a yellow
color not even brown.

My cat would have driven me insane if Ida
kept her indoors. But now I am guessing
she's in kitty heaven.

My cat goes outside, because that's where
they are meant to be. He doesn't go to
far, and RARELY leaves the yard. He spends
most of his time laying under the bushes
or on the steps. I just recently started
letting him out again. I was scared he'd
try to go back to my parents house, since
that was the only other place I'd let him
out at. But it's been more than 5 years
now, so I thought it was time. He didn't
like being inside. I still go to my
parents and take him with, and he likes to
wander around their yard. He's a good boy.
My dogs are only allowed off their leash
if we're outside with them. Except the
puppy, because well...she's a puppy and
she'd be more likely to take off than our
other dog.

My cat will never go outside. Never. Not
only do I not want her to catch fleas - I
also don't want to risk her getting lost,
picked up by another person/family or
animal control, or risk her getting
attacked by another animal (cat, dog,
whatever) or hit by a car. She has plenty
of things to hunt inside the house, like
the toilet paper roll in our bathroom.
We also have her front paws declawed. It
wasn't our first choice, but she was too
rough with using them as she played. I
have a number of scars from her already,
and we decided that declawing her was the
best option for us. We had it done at the
same time as her spay, and it didn't seem
to bother her a bit. Her paws were tender
for a few days, but most of her discomfort
was from her spay surgery.
She's a happy, well-adjusted cat. She
loves to jump into the bathtub or the
bathroom sink and sharpen her paws (yes,
really) on the porcelain. We're also not
as nervous about letting our young
daughter play with her, because we know if
our cat bats at her, our child won't be
scratched.
I wouldn't recommend declawing to the
average cat owner, but it is a
viable option if your cat has a problem
with scratching people.

yeah also cats can get into anything and
get sick
alot of sikkos out there may even try to
poison cats and dogs to kill them if they
see them running around outside
also it becomes a target for dogs and
stuff that may be stray could get ahold of
the cat or kitty my neighbors used
to let their little cat outside and a chow
got her and ripped her spine in half they didnt even
care when they found out. they just left
it to die in their driveway

I have a huge long-haired cat, that if he
went outside would get so many
fleas and his hair would get so matted he
would have to be shaved... so he never
goes outside and we declawed all four of
his paws b/c we have
a leather couch and he was scratching it
all up..
he's happy
he sleeps all the time and knows he rules
the house..
