Don't think that didn't cross my mind... they are goldfish and I think they may hibernate until their water unfreezes? I fed them really well this afternoon. Hopefully they will be okay.

I use dog igloos with a board accros the front to hold in the hay/straw....fillem full and they stay warmer than you think just keep the doors facing south. I even had pups in and through the last two hard freezes and they all did fine. The igloos are a little expensive but if you watch craigslist,flea markets anss yard sales you can gettem cheap. I have bout 10 of them. For the pups I screw a carpet over the door and them a big ole sweat shirt and it stays pretty warm in there.

Eight degrees sucks!
Most of our dogs stay in the barn, but they have dog houses with hay anyway. We have one outdoor kennel on the west side of the barn. The dog houses in it are on a platform but they face south. Because I was worried about the cold air circulating above and below the plastic dog houses, I pulled the dog pillows out and stuffed the houses full of hay. I know hog dogs don't need dog pillows, but lizzie and tater earned their plush pillows..
Cheers

Heres my question for yall i put all ten pups in one of those plastic portable kennelswith two flakes of hay fluffed and closed the door. that is in the kennel with the big dogs and is about 18" under the heat lamp. with the news saying 20 degrees over night, do yall think thats enough protection for the pups @ 7 weeks old or should we bring them in and listen to them whine and poop all night.
I have a litter that has been outside all winter, with no heat just plenty of shavings and/or hay and a peace of rubber covering the door to keep the wind out. It has got down to around 0 a few times. Havnt had any problems. It has been in the 60's last few days here, felt like summer time. but I guess that cold front that you all are getting is coming this way, wind blew like crazy all day. Supposed to get back down in the 20's and 30's by tomorrow |

I'm at the other end of the state from you Aladatrot.....and you're telling the truth about the cold, this humidity we have here makes it a lot worse than a dry cold. When it gets in the single digits here uncovered flesh starts to freeze pretty quick. But I HATE.....pure hate the summertime when it's in the 90s and you just pour sweat. So I'm not bitchin' about the cold.

It's easy to judge the character of a man,....by how he treats those that can do nothing for him.
