Here is some back story. My dog, Woody is a Dingo. He's around 7. He's a great dog, he protects our house, yard and my chickens. He is so good with my son. My son can hang on him, pull his ears and tail.
All that being said, last night we were sitting on the couch, my son with playing in the living room. Woody was laying in the middle of the floor, my son came over and kind of laid on top of him, like laid over his side. Woody growled and snapped at him! I flipped out! I grabbed him and put him outside and told him he was a bad dog.
Last week, he snapped at my cat too. She didn't even touch him though, she just walked in front of him and he growled and snapped.
I told my husband that I didn't want him in the house anymore, because I don't want him around my son. It scared my son so bad last night when he did that, my son doesn't understand what is happening, because my dog is the kind of dog you can use as a pillow to go to sleep on.
We brought him in last night because we don't have a dog house anymore(it became a chicken coop), and I don't want him to be cold. I know there could be some underlying issues here with the dog. I'm going to also say that I don't really want to hear that is 'horrible to put a dog outside'. He stays outside a lot and LOVES to be outside. And chances are, if he goes out; it will only be during the day and I'll bring him in at night so he won't be cold.
So who has outside dogs? What do you have in your dog houses? Do the dogs like to be outside, do you like them outside? What do you do with them at night?
I did find this enormous dog house on sale at my feed store, for $60. Its like a 5 x 5 dog house, with a shingled roof! Thats a great deal!
