I can't figure out the reasoning of having an "outside dog". With the exception of farm dogs, which aren't tied to a tree, or some such... What's the point in getting a dog, only to chain it to a tree in your yard? Fuck man... Buy a garden gnome or something...What is silly about it?Feel better now that you got this silly rant off your chest?
I find it silly when grown and otherwise intelligent adults think that someone should go to hell for forgetting to get their outdoors dog when a hurricane arrived.
I find it silly to say that people who neglect their pets should be shot, or that it is the most disgusting thing humans do. I promise you it isnt.
But there is nothing silly about my observation that people have a need to feel morally superior, especially when they know in their heart of hearts that they are in fact moral degenerates themselves.
It is a simple Truth, if you deal in such things.
I grew up with dogs in the yard and on chains. Had one later in life on a chain too. It wasn't because I wanted to. But even with a good fence, it was near impossible to keep that sucker in the yard.
Our dogs were not just stuck on a chain and forgotten about, though. We interacted with them quite a bit. Even brought them into the house when the weather was severe.
