| Does anybody elses baby sleep in front of.. THE HEATER VENT. My vents are not on the floor there built it to the baseboardof the walls for a horizontal blow out! Mason sleeps right in front of them. Im afraid his skin is going to start getting real dry. It's not real bad yet but you can tell its drying out! SHould I just shampoo him with oatmeal shampoo like twice a week. I think he just loves the hot air because i put a sweater on him and he still layed in front of it!! Any advice is appreciated! |

| I bet mine would but I have central air! Hallie has really dry skin and I use a special shampoo on her that I got from my vet! I bet others here will be able to give you better advice |

| haha! In the summer they loved to lay in front of the fan! I think Hallie especially likes her hair blowing! My air vents are in the ceiling and in awkward places so they can't seem to find a good place to lay under. But if they could I know they would love it Oh and I checked and the shampoo has oatmeal and coconut oil in it for her dry skin. |

Noooooo, this will dry out his skin even more. In the winter I wash every 2 weeks unless they get really dirty. I did purchase a dog heating pad because I have tile floors and it is cold and not all of my dogs like getting up on any furniture.

| Yep, Riley loves to sleep in front of the heater. His skin doesn't seem too dry. He gets an oatmeal shampoo bath once a week. |

| I think yorkis love to be warm. All of mine find the spots where the sun comes in the window and I have a small portable heater for cold mornings that they lay by. |

| Maggie likes to put her face up to my vents and feel her hair blow. She even does it in my car! I think she just likes the feeling of something blowing her hair back haha

| Oh Yeah Milo is our cold boy- he will wear a sweater if he feels like it but he loves our heaters in our master bath we have electric heaters to heat the tile floor and whenever he can get to it Milo is there- or he will lay right on top of a floor vent when the heat is on- he even loves the fireplace- with its blower he will lay there when the fireplace is on till he is panting cuz he is so warm- we will try to get him to move but he keeps going right back till hes done- stubborn- so far we have not had any problem with his skin hopefully we won't |
