you know this really annoys me. if a pet can't live inside your house like the rest of your family does, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T OWN A PET. It's disgusting anyone would have an "outside" dog.. At any age much less 13 years old this dog deserves to be cuddled, warm, cared for and not lying in a dirty dog house being degraded their whole lives. the dog probably isn't even vaccinated.
