[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 573884, member: 84"] I'm no great fan of declawing either, which is why Bruce still has his.............. But I won't say I've not been tempted more than once when he attempts to show me lovies and digs them into my leg. Hurts like heck! He doesn't scratch the furniture. Then again he won't use his scratching post either. It's now the living room door stop. lol (and Molly likes to scratch her fanny on it) Once I found out how the claws were removed........oh heck no! But then I don't agree with tail docking and ear cropping either unless it is for an actual practical use and you plan to use the animal for the reason it was done to them. Most people are astounded with how old Rowdy is, especially since he just started showing his age. And no, he doesn't like it inside.......even in sub zero weather.......for very long. He'll drive you insane to let him out again after a few hours. We're about to go nuts if we need to keep him in over night due to temps. Hot weather isn't much of an issue. I give him something full of water to lay in, which he's always enjoyed. Vet isn't so shocked though, nor do they act like I'm mistreating him having him outdoors either. 14 is a bit long for an outside dog, but they said if the dog is well cared for that 12 isn't unreasonable to expect depending on breed. But shoot, look at Molly, she's been inside 90 percent of her whole life and at 12 she's worse off physically than Rowdy in many ways. [/QUOTE]
