I am cruel to animals
Yes, I am totally cruel to my animals, I allow them to sleep on the couch in a warm house on a cold winter night instead of in a dog house in the back yard chained to the dog house.
I've seen far too many homes as a delivery driver where the family dog is kept outside chained to a dog house on nasty/cold days/nights.
My dog Cooch, the 'old man' now at almost age 9 now that Ming passed away.
Yes, I am a horrible horrible person treating my animals this way. Better call the ASPCA!!!

There is a web site called "Dogs Deserve Better." http://www.dogsdeservebetter.com/
It's all about getting the owners of chained dogs a kick in the arse to tell them that their pets deserve better than being chained outdoors in the horrid cold with little food, a drafty doghouse, and frozen water.
Our four pups have nice sleeping dens to be secure in and their two Daddie's huge Queen sized bed to lounge on during the day.

I don't get that... what's the point of having a dog if its outside all the time? We have a lot of crappy people out here that do it even when its 117o outside or below freezing like it has been lately.
My four dogs have their own bedroom (one room for 4 dogs... not one for each of them!) with their crates and beds. They only go outside for supervised play time and potty breaks. I'd never leave them outside all the time like my neighbors do with their dogs.
Oh and if my dogs bark...they either stop when I tell them to...or I bring them inside.... also unlike my neighbors.
Glad to see you love your dogs too :)

... because some dogs are simply too big to let into the house without the potential of them wrecking stuff like, I dunno, floors?
Some are high energy dogs, that require a lot of room to run around and burn off?
There are a million and one reasons to keep an outside dog.

If you don't want a big dog in your house... get a small breed, or don't get a dog at all.
Train your dog to behave in the house and nothing in the house will be ruined. If your dog gets into trouble when you're not home, crate train your dog so they have a place to go when you leave the house and can't get into things when you're not watching them. Dogs whose owners took the time to train them don't ruin the house - no matter if they are a Chihuahua or a Great Dane. If you cannot invest a few hours a week in training your dog - don't get a dog. I live in a BRAND NEW house with 4 dogs ranging from 15lbs to 71lbs and my house is still as shiny and new as it was the day we moved in (a little less than a year ago). That's because I'm a responsible dog owner who takes care of my dogs AND my house.
Also, dogs can't run off energy on a chain or in the backyard. Throwing the dog in the back yard to exercise doesn't really do anything. They need to be stimulated mentally, walked, or given a job if they are high energy dogs. If you can't commit to that - don't get a dog with high energy - or any dog for that matter. All four of my dogs are high energy breeds (A German Shepherd/Boxer mix, A corgi, a corgi mix and a Pit Bull) - and we make sure to keep them busy - not just forget about them in the backyard.
No excuses, just lazy people who get a dog as a status image.
Simple as that.

The very fact that you consider a Pit Bull 'high energy' makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.
You're the type that is the sole reason having a dog on a chain of any type considered 'cruel.' The type who see pets need to be a burden on anybody who would dare shelter one from a pound. That everything can and needs to be fixed, without question. The type who believes the natural progression of a summer coat is not good enough, and the animal needs to be shaved, not to stop shedding, but because it's uncomfortable with all that hair that it's already losing.
I'mma tell you flat off, I've owned 3 dogs, made friends with one stray, and sheltered one dog for my sister. My own 3 dogs all spent their time inside, even the Australian Shepard who tore up our laundry room floor where she slept. We didn't 'fix it' because it wasn't a problem - she just wanted to dig, and couldn't because, dur dur dur, we had her inside all night, even though the weather round here is peachy all year round. (cept when it rains) But no. I imagine you're the type who'd demand to train that behavior out of the animal, not because it is beneficial to them, or it harms them, but just for your need to control them, and proof that it is possible. The stray spent his time outside because he was a stray. I made sure he had access to water, and food so he wouldn't go through our garbage, but other than that, he seemed pretty damn happy. I imagine the right thing to do would be, since we couldn't actually take care of him, to throw him in the pound, right? He wasn't harming anyone, but clearly we should make the already over-crowded system put him into a little tiny cell where he'd wait his death because he was a full-grown male Shepard-mix. When my sister moved her house, we took in her dog for a while, and set him up on a runner cable between two trees. He had the time of his life, as our backyard was bigger than their house and yard put together, and he had a big ol' dog house to run into when he needed to. We didn't let him in because we were unsure of how he'd react to our little poodle, and we didn't want to find out too late that he was unfriendly. Now, what should we've done? demand our sister train him for the week, 2 weeks he was with us? or how bout fork it over ourselves? Not shelter him for that time? Let him roam without a home and hope he didn't get picked up or ran over?
There is nothing wrong with keeping an outside dog that you love and take care of, especially not when they love you right back.
I really wanna hear your argument, without using the worlds 'it's just cruel' cause you can't explain to me HOW.

My "old man" Bullitt, our 8 year old Corgi, is just as mistreated. Has his own bed upstairs in our bedroom, a pallet made from memory foam and a blanket under my artdesk in my work room, a padded pillow bed in the living room with a basket full of toys... The poor cats have to sleep on the couch! Oh, the horror!
BTW, handsome boy you got there. Reminds me of the Sheltie I grew up with.

Such cruelty. Who would have thought a good furry like you could treat your pup with such degenerate care! Can you not see he wants some scritches?
Also, sometimes household policy said that our dog had to stay outside for long periods... so I would let him in and be all friendly.

Sometimes it is dangerous to have pets on the bed
When my cat was young young, I'm talking like, first living with us, he had the bad habbit of sleeping next to you in bed
One morning I woke up, and I couldn't find him anywhere in the room, till I sat up
He slept behind me against my back, and I rolled over ontop of him during the night
HE WAS FINE so don't grief me about my pompus carcass floundering on top of him, but after that night he learned to instead sleep against our heads, or against our feet for warmth

Fine? What about the mental trauma?
That reminds me about another Baron story:
When taking our Great Dane, Baron, to obedience training, the teacher had us walk the dogs in a circle around her so she could keep an eye on everything. The training went well, until the Sit command. You see, the lady behind my mom had a poodle, so when baron sat down...
...the poodle was physically fine, but what nightmares did he have after watching that Dane Butt descending on him, blotting out the Sun...
Baron was also traumatized, and after than, he would start to sit, look behind himself, scoot his hindlegs up a little, drop his haunches a little more, look behind, scoot up... until he was in front of the person holding his leash, sitting on their feet. For the rest of his life, He would only sit when on leash if he was sitting on the leash-holder's feet.

I've had puppies and kittens in the beds for so many years that I have to wake up to turn over. I programmed myself to not roll over in my sleep. For obvious reasons.
Every night I am the hot dog in a Lab and Golden hot dog bun. With a couple of cats mixed in (up around the pillow cause they bo no fools ;) ) Glad you hear your kitty was okay. ^^

Heh! I can't imagine you being cruel to any creature on God's Green Earth. I can sympathize with you though, seeing how most the neighbors I've got around these parts insist on owning psychopathic pit bull mixes that are mostly just bored right out of their little doggy minds, and will start barking aggressively at leaves falling off trees.
im even worse DD: i even removed the curtains so my dog would be hit by the "bad" warm comfy sunlight while he sleeps on my bed D8 http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4508502/
Our old Great Dane, baron, lived in the house with us, if you know what you are doing and are patient and loving, large dogs are not a problem inside the house. baron got to go out whenever we wanted, to run around, or roll in the grass or do other doggie things. He also was able to come back inside whenever he wanted. He may have napped outside during the day if the weather was nice, but he preferred to spend the nights inside. He had his own doggie beg in the living room, but he liked to sleep on the couch, and after he managed to dig completely though it trying to find a dogie treat that he thought was there, he slept on the futon we bought as a replacement. He lived to be 12, and for the last for years of his life, the vet only had one thing to say after the checkups: "He's in excellent shape for a Dane his age, a Dane his age should be dead." He also had none of the joint problems typical of large breeds, and in the end, all he had was a tough of arthritis along the spine.
Our next dog, a Siberian Husky named Zazu, also had unlimited in/out privileges, and she had no qualms about spending the night outside if she was in the mood, she also had no problems with spending the night inside, sleeping in or under the futon (Huskies seem to like sleeping under low ceilings for some reason). The only time we overrode her decision to sleep outside was when the weather was going to be nasty. We also never FORCED her to be outside if she didn't want to be, except when there was a visit from the Cable Guy, those people tend to be nervous around dogs, even the friendly ones.
Our current dog, another Husky by the name of Zelda, has unlimited in/out privileges during the day, but she spends the nights inside. She's only 23 months old, I know she would have spend one winter outside already by now, but the family consensus is that she's still not ready to spend the night outside. Probably in the summer, when the weather's not so harsh at night and it's easier for the people to go out if she needs help.
(Yes, in my family, the pets are treated more like the baby sibling than animals, what about it?)

You remind me of another animal hater. His mistreatment of animals was just so grotesque. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4126919/
You sir are an absolute beast!
Animals inside your house, on the sofa... with pillows...
Why, I bet you even give the poor animal real food! Have you no decency man?!
One day the animals will rise up and then you'll be sorry, ohhhhh yes you will be sorry!
<runs down the street to the next house> HAMSTER WITH STUFFED CHEEKS! How dare you leave food laying around for the poor creature to do that!

I'll turn my old tyrant self in as well. We have 8 cats and 2 big dogs...and at any given moment any number of them slumber on my queen-sized bed. And I sleep with the dogs and a few cats every night. They get great food and attention and love, and are content to stay inside (the cats. Too close to the road and we have coyotes and fishers). I am pure evil. I must be destroyed.
