I live in a designer house and though I no longer have my doggie, while she was still with us here, she would much prefer to be indoors with the nice comfortable climate than outdoors in the heat and humidity. Having a dog means you're going to get exercise....you'll be outside with your pooch if puppy needs a potty break, you'll take walks to make sure your pooch is exercised and you may visit dog parks for socialization for the dogs. Our dog could come in and out at will when we lived in CA, but adjusted to her new life when she moved to The Villages. Remember, dogs live for now and not for the future or the past....they will love where they are because YOU are there.
