The dog has a heated dog house with a quilt in it.  Every night she sleeps in the flower bed  Including when it rains. Apparently she went creek swimming again today and she soaking wet.  She swims a few times a week but it's like 17 degrees outside right now.  I even tried to move the dog house to the front flower bed but she want get in.

She gets cold enough shell find the house.
I would just as soon make you cry as make you laugh, both are equally entertaining to me----me!

I had a husky who never slept in her house and in the winter cold and snow out it was almost impossible to get her to come in to the house at night. She would just lay in a ball and the snow would drift over her. If I called her she would just pop her head up. She had a bed in the house, finally I figured she would just come in when she was ready.

This. I had a husky who slept on top of his dog house in the winter. Very rarely he would sleep inside it at night.

Police Officer woke me up yesterday banging on my door.

Tells me they have had complaints about my dog being outside when its cold and I would have to bring him in.

My first question was why? Dog house is insulated and heated. As well as the water bucket.

He will lay like this all day. It was about 8 degrees this day.

She is a rescue dog but at least half black lab. The temp doesn't worry me as much as she goes swimming in below freezing creek water.

Replace quilt with straw.  Fabrics tend to hold moisture, wicking heat from pup.
