little dog physiology

[boxofdelights]

Newt wants to sit in my lap all the time, but first thing in the morning, after his little feet have touched the cold damp ground, he needs to sit in my lap. Because he cannot maintain his own body temperature.

However, he had no trouble walking all the way to the co-op and back, which Google maps tells me is 1.7 miles.

We can probably mail you some sweaters, if you want. Pirate doesn't need all the ones she has.

I don't mind having him in my lap :)

Little dogs make excellent lap-warmers, so it's a win-win. Our dogs always assumed that everyone knew this and was on board with it. ;)
