He had a dog pen with a dog house with cedar bedding and two big hairy arse Golden Retrivers. They do not give a damn about the cold.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

Well, that's a different situation.

Different breed that is better in the cold and you provided a better living situation.

Your situation is entirely different than the OP.

Quite honestly, you should trade places with them.

You keep saying this like I've compared the two situations. I simply stated how my dogs were fairing in this frigid weather.

Quite honestly, you should trade places with a fish. See how if feels to be underwater for that long without access to breathable air!

Mine are on a concrete slab (so the caretaker can spray out the feces) the dog houses are suspended and have hay in them. I think people are confused they are just sitting in the back yard.

Me too. They don't even know the difference between people and animals.

These are the same people that let their dogs sleep in bed with them and let them on the furniture

Now those poor creatures are stuck in subzero temps while their shitty owner sits next to a fireplace drinking egg nog.



Please, egg nog is way too classy for this guy. It's either Natty or Jim Beam.

The OP has some fairly serious social problems.

Animal Protective Services are on their way to your home to take these poor pups and throw you in that cage.

I think we're all losing sight of the goal here. Whether the OP is an animal abuser or just treating them like God intended, he clearly would like to improve their situation if he can but all he can come up with is hay. Your harsh judgement of each other isn't going to warm a dog very much.

Here's an article on keeping outdoor livestock warm LINK

quote:

5. Allow communal living. Animals will group together for warmth if they need to do so. Snuggling into the hay, or even moving about in close proximity to one another, will help them create and retain body heat. Sometimes the animals within a herd need to be split up for management reasons, but they all need at least one or two buddies during frigid conditions.

7. Use a plastic livestock curtain in doorways. These vertical strips of heavy plastic purchased from farm equipment catalogs — or made at home using clear shower curtains — hang in doorways and are effective barriers to inclement weather. They allow animals to move freely in and out, are loose enough to provide crucial ventilation indoors, limit snowfall beyond the threshold, draw the sun’s heat on cold clear days, and help retain interior warmth.

9. Use added heat if absolutely necessary. The best way to do this is to provide heavy-duty water jugs — tightly closed and kick- and chew-proof — of hot water, or bricks heated near the wood stove, for the most frigid snaps.

I think it goes deeper than that. Likely some deeply seeded emotional issues from being raised by ignorant, non-loving and caring rednecks. It's sad and the women and animals around this man are paying the price apparently

My Aussie and Border Collie are long haired - they love the cold weather.

He actually claims to be a sophisticated urbanite who splits time between NYC and Aspen. He probably uses the dogs for fox hunting.

No one actually thinks Jesus was born on Christmas. The shepherds were tending to their flocks which is a give away. He was probably born sometime in September.

Am I off base for being more suspicious of his claims than usual because he has the English skills of a high school drop out? I guess I shouldn't put too much stock in grammar, but this is the internet after all.

The question was about sleeping on hay...
