Loon, I think it's a nice peace of mind watching your animals enjoy the heat...I feel like your giving them something back that they enjoy. A nice bond.

And it was my chair at one time Charlie ==c
Loon, tell me about,,that use to be our couch,, now we just have two recliners that the dogs can't use.... The wife and I use to laugh,,,, we'd be sitting on the floor with our backs to the couch watching TV and the dogs would be on the blanket covered couch behind us,,,we use to say what's wrong with this picture? I say it's just good karma;)

My new house.. didn't burn in the fireplace last year so this is turbo and i's first winter burning. At first she did NOT like it, would only go up to it if i was around it, adding wood or sitting by the fireplace. now she loves it, well until there is a good pop and crackle then she is gone. Got her as a stray last october. Boxer-Pit bull mix and is the sweetest thing ever. I don't think she has a mean bone in her body, heck she will lick someone to death first.

Oh boy, just noticed the "combustibles" in the picture with Beans!!!.
Rest assured we maintain proper clearances at all times when the stove gets hot....:)

I think you are right. I saved two dogs this year and brought them into my home. I think they know I saved them. They love me and wife and kids and we love them back. Is the reward when they crap in their kennel, or..... ? ;lol

Boxer/Pitbull, love both breeds! But I'm surprised you got her to stay still for long enough to take the pictures... Hyper breeds!

Oh, yeah... she is an energizer bunny full of life.. life is a party to her. she is a licker and boy oh boy does the tail go....I think it wags the couch, side of the recliner, hardwood floor, etc when she is sleeping... She is right about two now... she is a big baby. It's her house, although she doesn't mind if you sit on her couch or use her bed.... :)

My Pitbull is 2 and is exactly as you describe. Non stop all day, but then can sleep(and snore) for about 10 hours straight... Wouldn't be the same without him.
 
Quick video.....

Our new Amstaff enjoying the stove and waiting on the snow. I got a couple pics of the lab and both of them laying by it but my ipad will only upload when it feels like it for some reason.
 
Our dog looks at the wood stove with contempt. His favorite spot is in front of the fan at the end of the hallway blowing the cold air back towards the main living area. We only keep the main living area at about 72 tops usually.

He is by far meant for cooler conditions
