Thanks so much for watching today! ☀Let me know what you think of the space and say hi in the comments!

Why have a dog if he can't be part of the family. Poor thing. Let him have a home where he's loved and included

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

@@stevegoodman6690 Awww he’s very well loved! Didn’t mean to come off as mean! He’s a lab and loves running around on our 10 acres and swimming in the pond every day! He wouldnt like getting a bath and being cooped up inside every day for sure! Hope you have a great weekend! ☀️

Dogs are animals, nobody says you can’t love your dog if the dog doesn’t live in the house, to me that’s a ridiculous statement. We as a family always had big farm dogs who were watch dogs as well as pets. They had a whole building , plus warm beds and they could get in out of the weather whenever they wanted. These dogs would have been very unhappy cooped up in our house. They loved running free, and they were very loved pets they got a lot of attention and love. We had one dog that loved riding in the truck and in the tractors. Whoever you are that doesn’t want to join her channel, your loss!!

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

@@Jodi-hx9qwYessss exactly the case with our Ollie! He loves to roam our land and my mother’s adjoining farm land. He swims every single day in the pond! He’d be so depressed if he was cooped up inside. He has plenty of places to get & is not mistreated in the slightest way! Lol

[@yvonnehare37]

Your intro hooked me! Thank you for welcoming and showing appreciation to and for your subscribers.

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Awww thank you! 🫶🫶 I do appreciate everyone here. Hope you have a great week! ❤

[@ninarobinson8752]

All 3 of my Bullies are in the house, they are clean funny & completely house broken, love our children

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Aww how sweet! I have a lab and he loves to roam our land and swim in the pond everyday. I don't have a problem at all with inside dogs...he's just not one. lol

[@Jenny-rr6tl]

What a great space!!!!! Back covered porches aren’t common here in Minnesota but I love them so much! I told my husband if we ever build a house that will be something we include! Love your videos!

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Hi! Thank you so much for watching! We do love the covered space. When we built our house it was uncovered and we eventually added the cover and it’s been the best investment! Highly recommend. 😊

[@CeceCandyg]

Love the flowers with the small lantern and citronella candle.

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

I think thats a good combo!! 👏👏

[@mehrit1648]

Beautiful.

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Thanks so much friend! 🥰 Have a great weekend!

[@Noveletteferguson]

I love them all

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Thanks so much for watching! 🥰 Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@marypucci6814]

Yes, pinch the dead flowers. They are portulaca. Love them.

[@TrueLady-m9v]

I love those flowers as well! They just keep blooming, If you dead head them.

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Ok thanks so much! I dead headed them today. They are just so gorgeous bloomed.

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Great! I dead headed them today. This is the first year I’ve had them but they are so vibrant & beautiful!! 😍

[@flippedbyabby]

Wow! Thats my dream backyard! With the big workshop!

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Ahhhh yes!! My husband built that bigger one since I took over his smaller one! 😆

[@StauberHouse]

Everything is so nice. My dad wouldn’t let our dogs come inside either and we live in Texas.

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Thanks so much for watching! ❤️ Yeah my dog is so dirty swimming in the pond everyday. It would be a disaster! 🤣

[@shannalakale3431]

Great idea how y'all capped the deck off towards the pool. Nice table setting I am not a green thumb but I would say yes to snipping the dead buds for more growth. I wish I had space for an egg chair. That's a really nice retractable gate. Like the night views so cozy!

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Thanks so much for watching Shanna! 🥰 We are really enjoying the space!

[@pamelamccleary1460]

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Thanks so much!! Have a great weekend! ☀️

[@mariawilliams1314]

Love the way you deck turned out! Your dining room table looks so nice and I love the tablescape. 😊❤😊

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Thanks so much for watching Maria! 🥰 We are really enjoying the space!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Your porch is fantastic!

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Thanks so much! 🥰 We really enjoy it!

[@TrueLady-m9v]

Very Pretty!

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Thanks so much! 🥰 Have a great weekend!

[@traceyfulton2784]

Everything looks great! Yes to dead heading your flowers. It helps them produce more flowers and grow bigger. Is that moss rose? If it is it will come back every year and like to spread. Enjoy your patio❤❤

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Thank you so much! I had to look the flowers up but yes I believe that’s what it is! I’ve never had them before but they have such vibrant colors! Love them…good to know they’ll come back! Have a great weekend! 😊

[@daphneharris4231]

My dog is my baby and its all about her house.we live with her😂😂😂

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Haha yep I totally get that too! My brother has a dachshund and I swear she is a person! 🥰

[@keerstinwagnon8541]

When you live in the country it’s very common for people to have OUTSIDE dogs!!

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Right!! I didn’t realize people didn’t know that! 😂

[@judysanders728]

Love your back patio and pool. Also, I heard you say something about mildew on one of your pillows. You can buy spray mildew stain remover. I had my doubts, but it worked on something of mine. I got it at Walmart, the Equate brand.

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Oh thank you so much for sharing that! I’m going to look for some! Have a great weekend friend! ❤️

[@judysanders728]

I was wrong about the mildew stain remover. It was Great Value brand, instead of Equate. Also, it is best to pull the dead blooms off your plants. I think it helps the plant to bloom and grow better.

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Ok thank you! 😊 I think it helps the flowers too. I will do that! I always do in my petunias and geraniums!

[@donnanorgren1035]

Yes take off the dead ones

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Thank you! I went ahead & deadheaded them so hopefully they’ll start back blooming! They were so beautiful! 😍

[@ninarobinson8752]

But the cat spreads cat hair at the dining table, so what's the difference? I'm just saying cats walk tables, dogs don't, & yes, I've had indoor cats very well trained to their pet pillow.

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

I would 100% have a house dog. It’s just that our current dog isn’t one. He’s a muddy mess most days It’s just whatever anyone wants in their own home. Sorry if I came across the wrong way! 😊

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Oh wait I see you’re talking about the outdoor table…ahh yes the cat does lay on those chairs! You’re right about that. He can fit around the gate so harder to keep him out! 😆

[@angieharris9744]

Everything is so pretty,calm and inviting 😊. I am with you regarding the dogs

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

Just what I was going for! 😊 Yep the dogs have 10 acres to play and run around on. They’re fine! Lol Hope you have a great weekend!

[@HeyitsKelly84]

I legit was going to subscribe until she said she doesn’t allow her dog inside the house. What’s the point of getting a dog if you don’t treat them like family. Everyone’s opinion matters and this is mine.

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

No worries! I only have one dog and he would not like to live inside for sure! He’s very well loved! 🐶❤️

[@leeannajohnson1008]

lol everyone opinion don’t matter who TF taught you that 😂
