i have a question for you all. tauney sleeps in bed with me and my chi and 3 cats what a bed full huh ? well anyway does a ratties body run kinda warm i tell you tauney is the warmest thing in my whole bed i have to move her so i can cool down!!!!!!!!! she sleeps so soundly she relaxes her whole body and i have to move her or do something just to make sure she is alive. kinda scares me sometimes it s like going into your babys room and making sure your child is still breathing. am i freakin out or overly worried or anything. my chi doesnt have that body heat like she does.

Yeah, Shadow is very warm too. The vet says that the normal temp for a dog is 102 degrees. The thing is that Shadow loves to touch me in his sleep and he will scoot over till he can feel me and sometime I am on the edge of my bed trying to stay cool at night. I've just learned to leave him be and turn the air conditioner down ot 69 degrees and I'm the one freezing but he is snug and comfy. He even sleeps better and longer at night too.

Shadow's Mom Laugh, dance and drink like nobody's watching cause life is too short.

LOL at Shadow. Theese dogs do know how to get comfy huh? Shiloh sleeps under the covers too and isn't happy unless she has at least a foot touching me. I freeze though, so really appreciate her extra warmth.

ladyfern & shiloh If you want the best seat in the house ... move the dog!

My ratties put out a lot of heat too. Molly especially...she has to lay pressed up against me, even on warm nights. Very difficult to try to get cool enough to sleep.

Oh yeah! Mitzy sleeps pressed up against me and it's great in winter...in summer we have to put the A/C way down at night. I'll tell yeah though if you ever need a hot water bottle or heating pad - just place the rattie there!
