Nothing to do with pregnancy or kids and totally random lol but just some comment I recently saw aggravated me... Why have dogs if you're just going to keep them outside? "Outside dogs" shouldn't be a thing. Imo..

Agreed! Outside dogs shouldn't be a thing. I had an intern say that he'd like to get a dog but keep it outside and I was like "what's the point? You shouldn't get a dog then". I've had both growing up and there is no way they get the same love and attention or are cared for the same way as indoor dogs. And I don't agree that some dogs are meant to be outside because of breed. In my opinion guard dogs are more efficient when they live in your home and can be by your side to alert you of danger. Plus it is safer for your dog to be inside. Honestly, they are such a big investment that I don't see why people would spend the money on them just to keep them outside.
Agree. I hate leaving my dogs outside. The people who live behind us will leave theirs out for HOURS. And there's 5 freaking dogs. Why?!
I had to keep dogs outside because of their breed and they were guard dogs. they were very much loved. we live in Texas too so winter didn't affect them much. it wasn't lack of training or not caring.
I would be so worried about my dog if he was outside 24/7. I get worried now that we accidentally left him out too long or something lol
@shellbell0391, I know!! what's the point of having a dog just to keep it outside?! they're not lawn ornaments!
Especially in winter!!! Lots of people keep their dogs outside all year round. My poor dog would be so lonely

Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
