Two dog night
Howllo Fellow Hound and two dog night lovers: Wow – it was cold last night! Have you heard that saying before, it was a two dog night?
It refers to being cold. Often when ranchers or cowboys were out on the range they would have to sleep with their dogs to keep warm. A one dog night was a night when he had to share body heat with one dog, two dog night was two dogs and a three dog night was an extremely cold night where he would have to share body heat with three dogs. “how cold was it on your trip?” “It was a three dog night”.
Well, I am lucky that Chaps and Emma throw off a lot of heat, so I am covered in the three dog night temperatures that are sure to come over the next several months. Did I say I am covered?
This is a shot of Emma not wanting to leave her nest this morning!
Come on Emma – Breakfast!
Two dog night, yeah right! I think they think it’s a one person night! LOL
More covers later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

I cam empathize with Emma. On cold mornings it is really tough for me to throw back the covers, nd get out of bed.
I know with Slinky, she is better than a hot water bottle or heating pad, the heat she gives off is perfect, but she like to be under the covers as well.
I had never heard that saying before, see you learn something new everyday!
Beulah and Bogart sleep with Brandon and yes they give way too much heat lol.

What special pics. I would love to be under that blankee snuggling with Emmers.

Hence the name of the group “Three Dog Night”!;) Love the pics! We sleep with Harley & Biggs every night–they are our personal water bottles:) They put out a lot of BTU’s: Basset Thermal Units!

OMG! Last night I was wishing I had 10 dogs! It was sheeting ice rain! Burrrrrrrrrr
Ice Rain? Man alive it must really be cold! It has been really cold here in Texas at night too. I wish I had me a couple of warm souls like you. Soon:) Keep warm my friend.
Josh – it’s crazy. We sleep right by a huge floor to ceiling window and it is like being outside. I have to wrap a blanket around the drape tie backs. Chaps usually hates being under the blankets but he sure loved it last night! LOL
