Oh...and after I robe my first bank?? I am buying those sleepy pods...the round ones! I have a friend that has 2 of them for little Chis...they have warmers in them that either plug into a regular outlet or a car...she uses them as beds in the house too...I have to say they are the cutest things I have ever seen and her doggies just love them! They are so doggone expensive though...I was bidding on a used one on eBay but I quit when it went over $80 lol!!
