Now we have a slight problem here. Lately, Castor has been getting up in the middle of the night, and whereas he can sleep all day, we cannot, of course, so we need to get him to sleep all night. Same pattern most nights lately: he sleeps well in his bed outside our bedroom until 4 or 5 am, when he gets up and comes in to our bedroom. He just stands by my bed until I wake up, and I get up and fetch his bed and put it next to mine. This has always worked before if he has woken up (he would just lie down and go back to sleep within a minute or two), but now he just sits in his bed and puts his chin on my bed, often with a front paw on my hand. He does not seem scared, and he doesn't want to go out, but we're quite sure he'd like to come up on our bed. We're not keen on that so we're looking for other options.
Although it's not terribly cold here, it's been very windy lately and there is often a draft on the floor, so in his bed, it might well be a bit chilly. Castor has a plastic basket bed with a couple of fleece blankets and a big towel. That has worked well so far but he might need something a bit more cosy and warm.
So what kind of bed should we look for? Those of you who live in cold climate, what types of beds do your dogs have?
