But I'd love something with no odor. I'm curious, does the rice have an odor?

No not really.

But thats a good idea, putting cinnamon sticks inside.

So I measured my carrier bottom and whipped up a rice bag to fit my carrier, right before I left I warmed it up in the microwave and it worked so well! The vets office just thought that was the neatest idea!

So if anyone needs a nice bag to fit there carrier, let me know and I can whip one up for you on my machine!

Oh neat idea! I want one! About a week or two and I'll have to take my little ones to get their tails and dews done.

Let me know if you want me to make you one. I think I have enough fleece fabric left.

Missy, I'm so glad the rice bags worked out for you. It was 24* today when we took the babies to the vet for tails & dewies and I had the rice in 2 large socks in the baby bed. Sunnie had sat on them and they were stained so I quick grabbed some fleece and made a couple of new ones, transferred the rice, warmed it up & we were on our way with 2 toasty warm pups. I have been meaning to make spare bags & got it done today!!! They're nice also when if the puppies get restless, I warm the bags and they climb on them & snooze.

Yes, please. If it's not too much trouble. Five days left and Kayla will be having her babies...well, if she actually gives birth on the day I calculated her due date would be. I'll PM you.
