Lol at people saying that. 20 years ago dogs were kept outside and that was perfectly acceptable so why isn't it appropriate today.
It was once acceptable to lynch folks in the street , doesn't mean it was right.
I think BigBottom hit the bail on the head . Having a ranch/farm dog that stays outside with acres to roam is acceptable.
Being a jackass who keeps his dog in a cage or tied up outside 24/7 is just that, a jackass .
Cage? Tied up? Where are you getting this?
Do you people have any idea how big .6 acres is? It is bigger than most zoos use for bears, lions and tigers. Our yard is freaking massive. Most entire lots are only .25-.3 acres. This fenced in portion is more than twice that.
Luke 21:1-4King James Version (KJV)
21 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
You see Jayrod,
Here, you are the rich men with your large yard and selfish desire for dogs.
The people who want their dogs inside the house are the poor widow.
The rich men with big yards can easily give a dog a place to sleep.
Us poor widows have a lot less land but our hearts are pure and we are giving all we have to our dogs, who God hath created.
