Found this on the net. I sleep with my 50# mix lab and the only problem is getting up to answer natures call then getting back under the covers. Peace of mind from wild critters. There are occasional...

I have a semi-permanent setup in my backyard that I sleep in each night. A few weeks back we had a cool spell and I started to feel the material getting cool through my shirt. I decided to go ahead...

These dogs are like nothing I've ever seen. In the morning they whine and dance waiting for their food. When they eat it's like watching a couple of deer eat, one eats while the other checks...
