I would be the first to admit that we keep our house cold.
Before we got the stove up and running I would work from home all day long, wrapped up in sweaters, blankets and warm socks; and I would still end up with stiff, cold fingers at the end of the day.
However, now that we have our stove in good working order, it is hardly uncomfortable. In fact it can sometimes be quite cozy. Right now the galileo thermometer (which is the most accurate gauge we have) reads 80+ degrees. (it might lie...but even 10 degrees of lying in this case still indicates the room is quite comfortable)
Yet, somehow, the dog is not warm enough.
So she lays here:
....actually...that was just the beginning ...
Now she prefers to nap here:
It is toooo cute.
However, she loses track of time quite easily, and while a little heat is good, I am pretty sure that she is baking her brain. She's going to fry it to a crisp!
I made her move after she had been under there for a while...and as soon as she got up she started panting like crazy....she was incredibly thirsty!
I thought that dogs had some kind of sense of homeo-stasis. But apperently not ours. If we let her, she would be medium-well at this point.

She's sooo cute!
I love your blog. You write so well! I always know that I'll get to laugh. :)
We have a Chihuahua puppy that likes to sleep cuddled up every night under the blankets (usually with me.
When he is out in the cold, he shakes and you can't help but pity him.
I guess dogs are enough like cats that they like that warm cozy spot where they can just sleep away.
