Let me add that we once had a late litter of Springers when we lived in Maine. We figured we would be OK and big snow wouldn't happen until late November or December.Nothing beats a dog in front of a hot wood stove. The hotter mine got the more she loved it.

Oops and we had to keep two litters and 15 puppies in the kitchen because of big snows. We also had an Oval modern cookstove in there. Anyway, that stove would get rolling at times and those 15 puppies would all pile underneath the oven of that stove. They got so hot you couldn't pick them up but they wouldn't come out from under. They just loved it.
We had 8 or 9 weeks of joy watching and playing with them in the heat of that stove. Somewhere I have a pic of it.

They could come in from the garage in the cold weather but had to behave.
