Hot Dogs...(not a ?..just a bit of fun!)

(Not quite sure where this originates from, whether from the Inuit of northern Canada...or from the Australian Native People)
But I am fascinated by the expression "A Three Dog Night"
It means that for every 10 degrees below freezing, you had to have a dog in bed with you to keep you warm. A three dog night meant 30 below freezing.
So the colder it gets the bigger bed you need by the sound of that!!
(It doesn't say anything however about dog breath in the morning!)

Well my Misty gets into bed with me. It's like having my little sister to cuddle up to! As dogs are so warm though it's a bit much on a hot night!

Hmmm... seems I have a three dog night EVERY night!  Or I did until Lady passed.  My doggies in bed with me got me through the death of my sweet husband - don't know what I'd have done without them.  :)
