Even if it were 80 (or 60) my Rascal would sleep rolled in blankets. He does this when it is 115 outside, so temp is not a factor. Rocky does sometimes, and Pepper is happy on top of the blankets. We have them all over the house, and even have some kitty cubes with blankets in them (sometimes two dogs squeeze in one cube!).

My house has all tile floors except for the bedrooms. They always want to be covered up or very cozy in their beds. I usually buy the little light baby blankets at a discount store and/or the 50x60 lightweight fleece throws. Also the two of them also snuggle with each other. They love to go outside and lay in the sun, and even now it is in teh 50s/60s and my female will go out to get the sun's rays beating on her. I keep my house at 67 in the winter and they are fine. --- In [email protected], "barefootjan" <barefootjan@...> wrote: > > My husband & I are looking into rescuing a bonded pair of 14 year old > Chihuahuas. > We've never had any small dogs before, let alone small dogs with a single > coat.
