Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Suggestions requested for keeping little old dog warm.

Thanks for the input all

I will say that reptile hot rock I have works very well on a wool blanket, seems like the wool traps the heat around the rock and the dog curls up around it.

I just ordered a fairly inexpensive ($50) electric kennel heating pad, oughtta do the trick, and that thermocouple doohickee is way cool, just wish they had one turn on and off at 45 or 50F.

Sadly, the days look numbered for this little dog. This past couple of weeks her back legs have been locking up standing straight out and forward like stilts, as if she were sitting down. She pulls herself up on 'em with her front legs and once in a standing position they work fairly well.

Pretty sure this is her last winter.

Dog's , the way they worm into our hearts like nothing else!
you are a good man birdwatcher! i think you have it covered.

Mike , FWIW, the TC-3 version of that Thermo-Cube does just that, on at 34*F, off at 45*.

If you know any folks with horses, mebbe try jarring loose a little "Joint Juice" for that old rascal's stiff legs.

The farm cats have heat lamps out in a couple old buildings.

Lounge on old saddle pads about 18" lower than the bulb.

Low watt version in an enclosed homemade box about the size of a large cooler.
