Please don't bring up this again. We have moved on from that huge debate at the time. Please find those old threads.

I believe they were taking the advice of Animal Care Charities in America and other countries who don't like them for house pets. Sled and farm dogs are another matter. but we don't have such in the game at the moment, anyway.

There were some horrific stories of dogs being found frozen on homeowners doorsteps last year as I remember, kennel or no kennel.

As far as strays in Brindleton Bay go, I don't find many around in winter and have put shelters and food in my gardens for them or even adopted them. Mayor Whiskers is very happy in my game.

Not everyone was active here at the time when this whole topic was discussed. It makes sense for people who just bought the pack or joined the forum to be confused about the lack of such a normal pet item.

That's what I don't understand. Grant thinks having "outside" dogs is wrong and should be done away with because, I'm guessing, he thinks it's cruel, yet there's a ton of strays that have no home, no bed, no one to feed or bath them and that got worse with Seasons. Yet, that's okay, but doghouses are somehow evil. How about you let me decide about doghouses all on my own. After all, that excuse of "we like to make stuff so players can decide how they want to play" has been used for other stuff, but not doghouses. Grant's a doghouse shamer. Shame on him.

At the same time he loves pet clothing which is really weird because putting animals in weird costumes for fun seems like a much bigger issue to me. (And no, I'm not talking about a loose raincoat for your apartment dog but actual costumes)
