Gigi must be the only chi in the world that doesn't like to hide under blankets! She likes it if I hold the blanket up over her so that she has some space, but once it falls on top of her she goes nuts and panics to get out from under it. She doesn't really pile the blanket up like most dogs do. She does however love to lay on a pile of laundry and will even fix it to her comfort.

Happy Friday everyone....whew...long week (and it was a short one for me)... I gotta ask - and I've asked this of my vets as well - they just say 'I don t know they just do'. My Timmy (schnoodle) and Charlotte (chi) - like to burrow down under the covers to sleep (all night)....I worry so much about them being able to breathe - but they insist and keep burrowing down under the blanket and quilt I have on my bed-Timmy goes down to my hip and curls up against my stomach if I'm on my side. I keep Charlotte up near my hip so I can check her throughotu the night to be sure she's still breathing (I don't sleep through the night ever)-but she would go to my knees if I let her. And wow - talk about generating the heat - whew... Do you ever wonder how in the world are they able to breathe? Lynda
