re: Were inside dogs a thing back in the 80’s?

I’m 43, so I grew up in the 80’s and I don’t remember dogs in the house. Lots of people had yard dogs, hunting dogs in pens or on chain, that sort of thing.

My parents, grandparents and would’ve never allowed dogs in a house. I remember my grandma’s cat got in the house one time, I thought she was going to beat that damn thing to death with the broom trying to get it out.

Yep. But they didn't go to the restaurants or grocery stores in baby strollers like today.

People who take their dogs everywhere are the worst, leave them at home chillin like a dog should

I don’t remember anyone having an side pet when I was growing up in the 80’s

but global warming

It isnt some grand conspiracy that cities are warmer in the summer now due to the urban heat island effect

They were at our house by the late 1980's, but only because my hobby breeder parents were part of the effort to resurrect the Chinese Shar Pei breed from near-extinction (thanks, Mao, you commie fat arse scum) and the dogs were incredibly expensive at the time. Prior to that, we had all outside farm dogs of various breeds.

Mom told me I could go outside with the dog before the dog would come in her house. So unless it was freezing they stayed outside. Just like the cows, horses, hogs and chickens.
