Supplemental heat for doghouse?

[ecu1984]

Your dogs sleep outside?

[2thDoc]

indeed

[2thDoc]

and I should add...he used to sleep inside. he's 12 now. I think he doesnt like to jump up into the bed any more so he decided outside is better. my wife puts him out before she comes to bed. I open the back door in the morning and turn on the outside lights. he usually saunters in soon after....

this morning he was wet. but, again, he didnt complain a bit.

We took a lab pup from Boykin to some friends in Saskatchewan. The next year we came back and the dog had grown hair a good inch longer than any lab I have ever seen, dug himself an igloo to sleep in through a snowdrift against a barn, and was happy as hell in 0 degree weather...

I would suck as an Eskimo.

Frozen raw fish served in an icehouse doesn't sound appealing? What if we threw in some raw seal blubber to gnaw on?

[Highstrung]

I had I would have a picket sign... I quit Inuit

[JABIII]

Yeah, I still have to round up some shit for this camp hunt. Tent might as well equal igloo...

I hope y'all have a good one down there. I used to love the ones we did as a kid.

might hafta trade the flipflops for snow shoes but otherwise you can do it.Good thing is if your ride quits or goes lame you can eat it.

[smitch320]

Wow, it just dawned on me that dogs, if not for their owners, would live outside!

If I go more than a few days without good sunlight it just affects my aura. I just feel lost.

Ha your dogs maybe. My Rottweiler wont

They live outside year round. When it gets down into the low 20's, I will put a good amount of hay in their houses. They end up pushing most of it out anyway. Years ago I bought one of those electric heating matts for the floor of my old Setter's house. The next morning, she was asleep outside covered in heavy frost. That heating matt was a total waste of money.

the place I hunted in S Dakota used labs for retrieving the pheasants- I asked him about his winter kennels and he showed me a cinder block dog house with a tin roof and some straw- said get them out the wind and they are good all winter
