<div class="gmail_quote">Emily,<br><br>Have you considered getting her one of our fleece coats to wear as pyjamas? We have an assortment of sizes, and I can vouch that they keep the dogs toastie at night. We used them when we went camping over the summer, but the nights were really chilly. One of my friends hounds is particularly thin-skinned and was really shivery until she had the bright idea to put a fleece on him. We all slept well after that!<br>
<br>What's more, you're raising money for the homeless houndies as well!<br><br>Have a look - <a href="http://www.ggbassetrescue.org/shop/category?CategoryID=408" target="_blank">http://www.ggbassetrescue.org/shop/category?CategoryID=408</a><br>
<br>(and by the way, although dogs may not get cold like people they DO get cold... their fur does not necessarily keep them warm regardless of the weather - that's the argument some people use for letting their dogs live outside no matter what the weather is and it's just not true.....you tell your husband to try sleeping with just one layer of clothing on!!).<br>
<br>Good luck with keeping Sally warm!<br><br>Addy<br><br clear="all">

It has been absolutely freezing the past few days in the northeast, and<br>
Sally got her first glimpse of snow on our morning walk today! Having lived<br>
in Ecuador for the first two years of her life, these literally freezing<br>
temps are a big change for her. She's been shivering uncontrollably and her<br>
teeth chatter! It's the cutest thing, but I feel so bad because she's so<br>
chilly.<br>
I put an extra fleece blanky in her bed, and was thisclose to buying a<br>
heated pet bed for her. Am I out of my mind? My husband says that dogs don't<br>
get cold like people do and that she'll be fine.<br>
<br>
Does anyone out there use a heated pet bed? Sally doesn't sleep with us in<br>
the big bed, so she's on her own to stay warm.<br>
