Cold Days, Cold Dogs

Moe looking guilty.

Noses tucked in tight.

Two more comas trying to warm up.

Maybe she won't notice that my cold feet are on her back.

The Jack Russell breed has very little fur on their bodies and almost none on their bellies. They do not like the cold and will sit on the deck with their butts hovering and not making contact with the ground. It was 23 degrees here yesterday and they went out to do their business but cried to come in right away. Four of them curled up into a coma shape on the sofa right away with their noses tucked in tight. Moe was using Nelly, our sheep dog mix as an electric blanket. These two do not usually get along, each wanting to be the boss, so it was very surprising that the two alpha dogs put away their squabbles until each was warmed up. He is looking very guilty about it, though.
