The Heating Pad

B hurt his back a while back - and he had the heating pad out, alternating that and ice to ease the discomfort.

While he was icing, he set the heating pad off to the side. It was warm, and Chloe Fae happened upon the heating pad. When she figured out that it was warm, she plopped down and didn't leave the heating pad until it automatically turned off, and cooled down.

B said that she 'stole his heating pad'...

A few days later - (the heating pad is still on the couch) - and she jumped up, started 'digging' on the heating pad, and then would stop and look at me.

'Dig' on the heating pad.

Stop and look at me.

I reach over, turn on the heating pad - she is still 'digging' on the pad, intermittently stopping and looking at me... When the pad [finally] heats up - she lays down with her front paws spread, her belly on the pad, and her head down against the warm pad.

Then she curled up, into a little tiny ball, and laid on the warm heating pad.

Then she rolled over, onto her back, spreading the warmth all over her little 10 lb. puppy body.

This was all within a 4 minute time span.

I looked at B and said - "if we had an electric blanket, this dog would never get out of bed."

He agreed.

Don't think I haven't considered it...
