It's been really cold in the p.m. here, so I put a sweater on my Gus before we go take the kids to school. I keep it on him till it warms up around noon and brush him out. If it's cool day I will leave it on him all day and brush him out at night. I don't leave swearters over night because he has plenty of blankets to keep him warm. And if it's really cold I will turn on his heating pad on very low and leave it on just long enough to warm his blankets. I don't like to use the pad soo much. I am scared it will get too hot or short out somehow and burn him. So lately I get one of his blankets and put in the dryer before bed time for him. He loves it. I never heard of them getting sick from getting a chill. If it's cold I will leave his sweater on all day. He don't spend too much time outside, just to do his biz and back and forth to pick up the kids.
