I ended up being my girls in tonight for the weekend. They are not a fan of their boring garage set up, but plus side is I can let them play in the tub and have “pool time” this weekend and I don’t have to worry about them freezing in it 😃

Mine did well overnight as well, about same temps as you over here! I think I might have to put them up in my garage duck playpen (4 foot high metal dog play pen in a square with a tarp under it) this weekend as Saturday is supposed to be 12 degrees and most likely lower with windchill. They’ll...

The bath Type waters are okay to use down zero? It’s 34 here now and slushy! But if it falls below zero remove them and just leave my buckets on the warmers (to drink and dunk heads in-they can’t get in those)

Oh yes, their shack has openings along the top 3 sides of the house (covered in 1/4” hardware cloth) before the roof.
