As the weather gets nicer it gets tougher to keep Scooter inside and
he loves going out - he stands by the door in the morning and pushes
at it. Do I have the right to make him stay inside? With Marlo, who I
also pulled off the street, it was very different. She never wanted to
go outside, in fact it took weeks before she was willing to go into
the backyard. Scooter is a very different case.

If you can bear to have him hit by car, let him out.
