Because I have always had electricity I never needed 3 dogs to keep warm on a cold night but I have needed 3 dogs to sleep warm and soundly. Now a days I only have one male dog who happens to be gay but I sleep just as warm and soundly as I did when I had 3 dogs (kind of think he figured he had something to prove and he turned out to be the most alert dog I ever had) Got the wood stove on and he is laying in front of it looking pretty but alert.
(Puppy might be gay but he’s part of the family so I posted here) Cheers!
