| An idea for a bedwarmer I do realize you said you do not have a microwave but I thought I would post this for all to read as it works so very well. My mother suffers from migraine headaches a lot, she fills tube socks (or maybe another tougher materials for dogs) with uncooked long grain rice. Microwave for a few seconds (alternate to find the right length for your microwave) and this will stay warm about thirty min, no chance of electric shock and reusable. The rice conforms to the body so you can make these any shape you want. Maybe put your rice filled heat pad in the oven for a few min? Not sure, maybe it would work. A wool pad is an idea as wool does really reflect and retain body heat. I have purchased thick, 100% wool sweaters at thrift stores and made bed covers with zippers, also used wool batting, they love them.

| Easy Cold Packs One more idea - keep dried bean fabric covered packs in your freezer, when needed they work wonderful for swelling and conform to the body pretty well. And again, reusable.

| Have you seen the round disks at Petsmart? Inexpensive is relative but I think they are around 20 dollars.

They appeart to be very safe but I like to keep the cover on Ellie's so she doesn't get too hot but then if you put a blanket over it for comfort (the disk is hard), it isn't warm enough. I use it more than Ellie.
