are jim-jams the answer?
Permalink Closed

the weather down here has suddenly turned colder at night.  dave and daisy always wanted to sleep on the bed with us but were happy to take turns.  we found that one dog fitted on the bed nicely, two was just not a possibility !!!


however, since the nights are now much chillier, the both want to sleep with us.  there really isn't the room tho.  i have a few choices:


1. Get a bigger bed.


2. Neil sleeps in the spare room.


3. We try dave and daisy with pyjamas.


well.........we can't afford the first, i wouldn't like the second option at all so, we're down to option three.


does anyone think they might be feeling the cold and that's the reason for wanting to sleep on our bed?  if so, i'm happy to try them in jim-jams but don't know where to get them so any suggestions would be gratefully received.


ps. i put an old t-shirt on each of them tonite.  i'm sure it would be a good interim measure but i couldn't stop laughing enough to fall asleep myself !!!!!!

Tree,


I swear by jim-jams: not just for me but for my dogs too.  They all sleep much better in the cold nights when they have theirs on.  I'd definitely give them a go if I was you.

they arent ideal to be honest Tree - my pals bought me them for Murf when she was at the badmintin Horse trials last year - they are such a awkward shape to put on that Murf used to run away rather than face having to contort his body to get in & out of them - Maisie just manages coz shes much smaller....

www.equafleece.co.uk if you want a neb tho...

Im buying them both GAL jammies for their xmas (ssssshhhhhh - dont tell them!!;)

We bought the GAL pyjamas for Belle, and she's worn them for a few nights now since the weather got cold.  I can highly recommend them.  Last winter we left the heating on overnight more than a few times, cos the poor soul had no body fat to keep her warm.  With her jammies, she's absolutely fine.  She stays cosy and we save on heating bills.  Sorted.

Another massive thumbs-up for the GAL indoor coats from our two! Our two have just started wearing their's. They absolutely love them and they're toasty as toasty can be. Harry's coat is one of the latest batch from the USA and I reckon it's even thicker and cosier than the old ones. An extremely wise investment!

Our girls like their PJs as well. Especially Indy who loves her comfort and won't settle without her jimjams and a couple of duvets to lie on. Our dogs? Spoilt? Nooooooo!

Never being one to miss an opportunity to post a pic here's Indy in hibernation mode.... When she does get up (usually around the start of April) she shuffles around in her tartan coat looking just like Grandad in his dressing gown....

SUZANNE - seeing the above pic I realise that you have bought TWO pairs of jammies (or fleece coats) on both days of the Christmas Fayre!


No wonder you have no money left for family pressies! 


(Still - perhaps Esther will focus her teasing on you instead of me now)

Cyber Hi Fiona, I saw you aswell with the lovely Pearly & Harry, but was too busy trying to get my two to stand at peace to try their jammies on (think they were being a bit shy or just trying to sniff out the sweeties) sorry I never made it over to say hello by the time I had decided on which ones they were getting it was a bit busy round the shop & wanted to get out before I spent any mor money (not that they are not worth it) but with two it becomes pretty expensive cause you can't by one without the other, hope to see you all again soon in 06

I hope not Lesley!! Its all Esthers fault anyway! Bought my two their matching jammies on the Saturday but while we were their Esther used Murf to model a santa outfit for some people...he looked SOOO cute...I went home & pondered about it. Then went back on Sunday & got them one each! (well - cant give to one & not the other)

That bloomin Esther....shes a sly one!!

hi all


dave and daisy's new jarmies turned up today - they've tried them on and look really sweet, especially with the collar bit up over their ears !! 


will try them tonite and hope the dear doglets stay on the floor and don't get up on our bed - there really isn't the room for two greyhounds and two adults on a standard double bed !

Hi Tree


You'll just have to get a king-size bed - even if you have to knock a wall down to fit it in the bedroom! (Hope the jim-jams work BTW - and you won't have to rebuild your house).

youll just need to buy them a donut bed each Tree - with that & their jammies Im sure they will leave you alone - Maisie no longer cries to get into my bed now she has her donut & thats only been a few days (of blissful sleep may I add! - not more waking up at 5am with a paw in yer gob!)

well, sweet as the  jim-jams are, they are not the answer.  daisy still cries to get on the bed at night.  looks like it might have to be the donut bed.  by the time i've found the answer, we'll be in summer and she won't want to be on the bed with us cos she'll be too hot !


there's just no pleasing some puppies
