Until recently, never in my adult life have I had outdoor-only pets. My pets are family and deserve all of the comfort of my house as far as I am concerned. That being said, Cubba and Rose are outside only pets TEMPORARILY because circumstances require it. Shaun and I hate it - especially in this cold.

We built a nice doghouse recently and put a ton of hay out for comfort and warmth. After seeing that it was getting down to the 20s Tuesday, Shaun ordered a heater for the doghouse. Today we're installing it and adding a flap door to keep the heat in. We still feel bad about them being outside, though. Hopefully this will be their only winter outdoors. Sorry, puppies! 🙁
