Technically we could but it would have to go into the door from the kitchen to the side of the house and I prefer her not to use that door as it encourages her to explore the drive and road.
Even tho we are in a cul-de-sac, there are still cars and I am a worry wart. The door we encourage her to use are a double glazed patio door that leads onto a deck then into the garden.
Plus if we let her in and out, I know where she is

Sad but true hehe. She is very polite about asking to go out, she sits by the door and makes little mip noises and taps the blinds.
Of course if we don't respond or say no, she wails plaintively
