I'm in North Carolina. Teddy comes in every night
of the year to sleep - when it's extremely hot he
comes in over the noon hours and gets to nap in
his large (I don't think I ever pictured this one
yet) carrier in my Master Bathroom - with the door
open so he can come out when he's ready to go back
outside. In the "winter" or cold snaps that we have
here he stays inside the house but he gets to
walk around when I'm home. If it's 60 degrees he's
outside as long as it's sunny (never rainy and
cold - bad combo). though only for about 3-4
hours over the winter time. In terrible weather
he might have to stay inside for a week straight,
but even 30 minutes outside make him happy for
the day. Like today he was outside from 8 a.m.
till 7 p.m. This will probably go on until
September straight. In the winter he seems to
be OK about staying in, has his regular feeding
time and sees us inside all the time, so he's
content playing hide and seek in the house.

He's got electricity in that outdoor house and
a heat lamp, but I never used it so far.
