Cold

[Lovetodream88]

I have a ceiling fan in my bedroom because I cannot sleep if I am hot, well when Callie was still sleeping in her crate I had a blanket over it covering the top and all sides and half the front but she hated the creat so a couple months ago we got rid of it (well put it in the shed) but I'm worried that this winter shes gonna get cold I dress her in a big t shirt for bed (she hates pjs on her legs) and I normaly cover her up when she get settled but I still think shes going to get cold her bed is under my desk but theres a big gap between the desk and her bed so I was looking and those soft indoor dog house's but the biggest I can find is one thats 20 inches and Callie is 13 pounds and 15 inches from her collar to her tail and I dont think thats gonna be big enough. What do yall think? Any suggestion? I dont want her to be cold.

well you can get beds that you plug in and stay warm.. Layla has one for work or you can get these disks that you put in the microwave that stay warm for 12 hours.

You could let her snuggle in bed with you.

You can try snugglesafe. I've read a lot of success with it. Here's a website: SnuggleSafe microwave heating pads for people and pets - nothing to fill with water, nothing to plug in
Also you dont need to plug it in. I'm debating if I should buy one too for the winter. The cheapest I found for it was on this site:
Snuggle Safe Microwave Heat Pad - Dog.com

I was going to suggest that you let her sleep in bed with you.........Daizy has slept with me since I first got her!!!! But she wants to be under the blankets ..........if that doesn't work you can probably find a cute bed that is fully enclosed on the web.....I was surfing the other day and found quite a few cute beds....not that I will ever need them...lol Thank goodness Daizy is only 5 lbs..lol Good luck!

Actually, the bed you're describing sounds perfect! She only needs to sleep in it, and since it's not huge, it'll be nice and warm from her body heat

I have to put PJ's on Luna, she freezes her booty off at night. DH works outside in the sun all day, so it has to be 68 in here or neither of us is going to get much sleep. She used to fight me putting them on, but now seems to realize that they are keeping her toasty, so she helps me now Maybe you could try just making her wear the pj's until she gets used to it? My Izzy HATES them too She walks like she has no knees for a while until she forgets about it and then she's okay

I have a pattern to make a soft dog bed that's fully enclosed (like a dog igloo--4 sloped sides that join at the top with a handle for carrying it around), but it's a smaller size (the package says 18" x 18" x 18"). I don't think it would be any problem to make it bigger--just blow it up on the copy machine and assemble, and I certainly wouldn't mind trying if you want one (I made another bed for a girl on CraigsList who wanted a collegiate team pattern and couldn't find one. It turned out awesome!! She loveed it!) If you do, PM me and we can talk about how big you'd want it to be and you can pick out the fabric--what ever your little heart desires!

When we went on a trip at the begaining of the summer I knew the hotel room would be to cold for her so I had bought pjs for her and she wore them but when I put them on her a few days ago she just stoped still and kept shaking and she rarley ever shakes so I took them off and she stoped.
