and sleeping next to them. I love her so much. Tanya,
age 14 My
dog, Clifford, is a Beagle. In the morning he will run from
his bed up to my parent's bed and try to go under all the
covers. He finally gets under and snuggles himself in. We call it
"burrowing". During the afternoon everyone will be at school and
work so Cliff stays in his chair. Yes, that's right, my dog has his own
chair. In our living room he inherited one of our old green chairs.
We put blankets in it and he sleeps all day in his chair. When
it's time to go to bed,Clifford climbs into bed after his walk
and somebody must tuck him in with the blankets on his bed. If you
don't tuck him, then he goes to sleep with my mom and dad
and my dad doesn't really like that. Rebecca,

warm clothes out of the dryer, Brie plays and sleeps in them! Briana,

age 9, Oregon USA My two
dogs are always together.
Mom says
they are inseparable; they love
to be
together. When it's cold they snuggle
in a little
wrinkly sack that my dad gave them
for Christmas.
When it's really cold and they
are in
the sack, I like to rub them to warm
them up.
My dogs slobber a lot so when they're
in the
sack, the slobber doesn't bother me.
But when
they get excited and jump out of the
sack, they
slobber all over the place. Good thing
they don't
slobber outside or they'd freeze.
Another
good way to keep my two doggies warm
is to
draw a hot bath and scrub them. They sure
do give
in easily to a bath when it is cold outside
and warm
in the bathtub.
