With the days getting crisper, we've started plugging in the heated beds in the dog igloos we have on the various porches. The weather is generally warm enough that the dogs still prefer to stay outside during the daytime, but some of the cuddle-bugs like blind Austin love curling up in the igloos to nap. And a heated bed inside makes it all the better on a cool fall day!

Austin looks so peaceful because we haven't told him about the stock market today.
Heated igloos! You guys think of everything! In sympathy to your dropping DOW our TSE took a nosedive yesterday as well - 800 points! An estimated 100-billion loss in market value...good times...
Maybe if I ask nicely, Austin will let me join him in there :)

Well, like I said before, I sure do hope if there is such a thing as reincarnation, I come back as a dog with a disability who lives at Rolling Dog Ranch. What blessed souls all your animals are for having you two to provide such a wonderful life. In turn, they teach us all what courage and forgiveness can get you.

HA - thanks for the laugh - Austin looks like he could hear almost anything and still enjoy the pleasure of his snuggly nap place. As for me, my cat is fussing at me to go watch her eat - she insists I pet her while she eats - so we know they value what we have to say!

Oh, I bet that is comfy cozy! He looks so relaxed. Makes me want to crawl in there with him. Great thing about being a pampered, furry member of the family, no worries!!
