Indeed ! And you know, the single time in years my dog had an accident inside I did not mind. She is worth every bit of it. In 6 years she is sleeping with me she had only about 3 accidents, and all from what I fed her LOL. Mea culpa ! Nothing warmer than a snoozing dog next to you on cold winter nights !

oh I did not know that story ! I vaguely remember one song of them. I love the idea though. I just saw a story in the news a couple of days ago, where a Russian girl got lost and was discovered sheltering with a stray dog, 18 hours in the icy cold. So even one big enough dog can do the job ! Thanks for this story !
The problem with huskies is that they are so well insulated they feel cold to the touch on the outside! I used to wake up next to mine (not in a -40 degree hole in Fairbanks, mind you...in a cool but not freezing attic bedroom) and poke her awake because I thought she was dead.
My pooh-bear only had accidents inside the house in his last couple years. I'd gotten doggie diapers for him but that didn't work. I also didn't mind cleaning up after him.

The band Three Dog Night was named after the aboriginal Australian practice of sleeping with dogs in a hole in the ground in cold weather.
One dog for chilly, two dogs for cold, and three when it froze.
Yours is a long and noble tradition.

I never wondered what that name means, good to know in case....
I read that the three-dog night practice originated in Alaska.
In Fairbanks when the bottom drops out below -40 degrees, three dogs just won't cut it.
One husky on each side, one for the feet, and one on top.
Four Dog Night.

I guess it depends on the breed of husky. Siberians and wolf-mixes can be pretty toasty.
Mine is a beagle mix. VERY toasty. And lovely snoring too
It's cold tonight. Chuck another dog on the bed, eh...

Those arn't accidents. They're putting you in your place.
