[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 530914, member: 2196"] Okay now y'all have me second guessing myself. When I was growing up we always had a big back yard for our dogs to run around in when we were not home. Now we only have a patio. I thought a small dog would do just fine out on a patio but an adoption agency I spoke with yesterday told me even a small dog would not do well outside for eight hours a day. I could leave the dog in the house but I'm afraid it won't be housebroken or it will ruin the furniture. Maybe a cat would be a better option. Our last cat sprayed everywhere and I'm afraid of the same thing happening again, but the cat had anxiety issues and was incredibly fearful of strangers. Maybe we need to look for a more outgoing kitty who wouldn't mind being outside part of the day. I will have to think this over. I am looking at cute little pics of doggies on the shelter's website and I am falling in love with damn near every one of em. I just don't know if we can handle one as a family right now. [/QUOTE]
